The correct answer is - C) convergent.

The convergent boundaries appear at places where two or more tectonic plates collide, move towards one another, and one or more of them are subducting bellow the other plate/s.

Because of the subduction that takes place, a lot of adjustments are happening in the crust, and that results in very common earthquake activity. The underwater earthquakes are the ones that can cause a tsunami, as they affect the water, as was the case with the devastating tsunami in 2004 in the Indian Ocean.

What happens in animal cells when mineral concentration is high and low in solution
slamgirl [31]

Answer:

Diffusion occurs when there is movement of minerals from an area of higher to lower concentration, till equilibrium is obtained.

Whereas Osmosis is the movement of solvents rather then the solute, from a solution of lower to a solution of higher concentration with the help of semipermeable membrane.

Explanation:

Diffusion is the movement of substances from area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration of minerals, which mainly results in animal cells. Whether solute or solvent, diffusion occurs for both. Diffusion does not requires any semi permeable membrane. Diffusion occur in all state of matter, that solid, liquid and gas, whereas osmosis occurs only in liquid state. Osmosis requires semipermeable membrane and rate of which is related to concentration of solute dissolution in solvent medium. Only movement of solvent medium takes place. Classical example of osmosis is exhibited by cell membranes of animal cells. On the other hand diffusion is the spreading of perfume or fragrances to the external air.
