I learned about it yesterday! What a coincidence!
Hope it helped!!!!!!
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.

Answer:
Oct 2, 2019 - However the moon is already increasing the size of its orbit around the earth and would continue to do so with a smaller earth just not quite as quickly. This is all assuming the object replacing the earth is still made out of the same stuff such as rock, metal and water.
<span>The approximate lifetime of a star like our Sun is in the range of 10.3 billion years. At a current age of 4.6 billion years, this will leave (10.3 - 4.6) or approximately 5.7 billion years before the supply of hydrogen fuel (and thereby, helium) will run out.</span>
