(1) Earth's crust is made up of relatively rigid plates that ride atop Earth's hot, semiliquid mantle. (2) The plates are called

tectonic because they're in constant motion. (3) They can move because Earth's mantle is a very hot and semiliquid fluid called magma. (4) Volcanoes are a result of magma rising up or erupting through a plate, particularly where plate boundaries are moving against each other. (5) Also, when plates slide against each other, causing friction along adjacent plate boundaries, earthquakes frequently occur. (6) Therefore, we often find volcanoes and earthquakes along plate boundaries. (7) Plates may also collide. (8) When that happens, mountain ranges are formed. (9) For example, the collision of the plate carrying the Indian subcontinent created the Himalayan Mountains when it collided with the Asian plate. Which statement about this paragraph is accurate?

Sentence 7 is correct. 
Sholpan [36]3 years ago
6 0
I would say that plate tectonics shows what the origin of volcanic activity, earthquakes and mountains comes from their collision or subduction. Where two plates collide mountains can be formed (uplift), where subduction occurs then volcanic activity like in the circum-pacific belt occurs and where stresses build up in subduction or transform fault (like the San Andreas Fault)  and are suddenly released, earthquakes are the result. Subduction is where the oceanic plate gets pushed under the continental plate.

How would you Check a statement to determine.that is a simile
Delvig [45]
A simile will always use either the word "like" or "as" to create a comparison. It's important not to mistake the statement for a metaphor, which is a comparison that typically uses words such as "is" to connect the two topics or objects.

Which of the following is a complex sentence?
Butoxors [25]

The complex sentence is A.  After Henry submitted his essay, he realized that he hadn't proofread the last page.

<u>A complex sentence is a sentence that contains an independent clause and a dependent clause</u>. In contrast to an independent clause, a dependent clause cannot stand alone to form a complete sentence. Moreover, dependent clauses are always introduced by a subordinating conjunction. In this sentence,<u> the dependent clause is "After Henry submitted his essay", the subordinating conjunction is "after" and the independent clause, which can stand by itself, is "he realized that he hadn't proofread the last page"</u>.
