<u>ANSWER:</u>

Oceanic lithosphere is destroyed when it is subducted at a focalized plate boundary and constrained into the mantle where it dissolves.

<u>EXPLANATION:</u>

  • Oceanic lithosphere is the topmost layer of the oceanic part of a tectonic plate.
  • It is made of two crust, the upper crust of oceanic made out of "pillow lavas", and the lower oceanic crust, made out of gabbro, troctolite, and ultramafic cumulates.  
  • The crust overlies the uppermost and cemented layer of the mantle.

The two most obvious ones are on the far right, and near the far left. Oceanic lithosphere is descending into the earth's mantle at these places, and being destroyed. ... At convergent boundaries oceanic lithosphere is always destroyed by descending into a subduction zone

What right is denied to Israel’s Arabs?
trasher [3.6K]
The answer is - c. serving in the military.

Just to be clear, serving in the military is not forbidden for Israeli Arabs, but it is the only thing that is not ''required'' of them to do. Israelies have to go to military service, while Israeli Arabs are not ''required'' to do that. Even though most of them don't do it, still there's the occasional exception where some of them want to go to military service and they do attend it.

What is the most common type of vegetation in southwest and central asia
Eduardwww [97]

Answer:

Desert Scrub.

Explanation:

Desert Scrub normally refers to a desert biome. However, it can also be used to describe several types of plants that grow on these habitats, such as the creosote bush or the rabbitbrush, and others.

These types of plants are capable of withstanding environments with very little precipitation like the southwest and central regions of Asia, which is mostly covered by great extensions of desert biome.

What is one reason why many geologists did not at first accept the theory of continenal drift ?
Levart [38]

<u>Answer:</u>


<u>The Continental drift</u> is the displacement of continental masses relative to each other. This hypothesis was developed in 1912 by Alfred Wegener, who affirmed <u>that thousands of years ago there was a single and unique supercontinent, called </u><u>Pangea</u><u>, which later became separated. </u>

His formulations were based mainly on the way in which the forms of the continents seem to fit on each side of the Atlantic Ocean, such as Africa and South America. He also took into account the distribution of certain fossils that coincided in continents far from each other.

<h2>At first this approach was discarded by most of his colleagues, because <u>his theory lacked a logical and geological explanation for its epoch. </u></h2><h2></h2>

He proposed that the continents move on another denser layer of the Earth that made up the ocean floor. But it was not until the 1960s, with the development of the theory of tectonic plates, that the movement of the continents could be adequately explained.
