Answer:
1. Continental-continental convergence are both <em>continental crust</em> plates.
2. Buoyancy basically means these plates are light float on top of the Asthenosphere.
Explanation:
1. To go a little more into detail, this type of convergence ocurrs when two plates made of continental crust (not oceanic) collide. In the case of ocean-continent convergence, the denser oceanic crust sinks underneath the lighter continental crust.
In this scenario, we have two plates, neither of which want to sink, so instead of going down they just crumple and fold and keep colliding. This collision creates very high mountain ranges such as the Himalaya and usually doesn't contain any volcanic activity because no magma is capable of penetrating through so much crustal material.
2. As for why continental crust is buoyant and doesn't sink has much to do with its composition. Continental crust is made mostly of silicate material. This is very different from oceanic crust which is made of basaltic rocks and is therefore heavier. The term buoyancy refers to the 'floating action' of the continental crust on top of the uppermost mantle.
The Crust is the layer that experiences the least amount of pressure
Answer:
D. Precipitation
Explanation:
Human environment interactions are interactions between humans and the environment.
Let’s examine each answer choice.
A. Dams are barriers that are built to stop water. Humans build them, so it is a human environment interaction.
B. Farms are plots of land humans use to raise crops and animals. Therefore, they are human environment interactions.
C. Irrigation is a way to water crops. Humans build them. They are human environment interactions.
D. Precipitation is rain, snow, hail and more. Humans can’t control it, so it is not a human environment interaction.
Therefore, the best answer is D. Precipitation.
