Answer:

Convergent plate boundary is the boundary where two plates collide into each other. At those boundaries volcanic arcs and submarine volcanoes can be formed.

Explanation:

There are three types of convergent plate boundary:

1. Oceanic-oceanic convergence

That is the boundary where two oceanic plates collide. The one which is cooler and denser slides beneath another one. Example is Pacific and Mariana plates.

2. Oceanic-continetal convergence

That is the boundary where oceanic and continental plates collide. Oceanic plate is denser and it always slides beneath the continental. Good example is Pacific and South American Plate.

3. Continental-continental convergence

This is the boundary where two continental plates collide. This phenomenom is known as continental collision. very best example is collision of Eurasian and Indian plate.

At first and secound boundary types both volcanic arcs and submarine volcanoes can be formed. On contrary, third type is not related with volcanic formations, but only with seismic activity (earthquakes).

The half of the Earth north of the equator is called the: northern, superior, eastern, top

vfiekz [6]

Answer:

northern

Explanation:

Northern Hemisphere is the name to the top part of the Equator, one that goes on the north from it. Earth is divided by the imaginary lined in the middle, and that line is called the Equator. The Northern Hemisphere includes the whole of North America and Europe, the bigger part of Asia, and some parts of Africa and South America.

It is much more populated than the southern hemisphere of the world, especially since countries with huge populations are on it (China, India, US). Most of the counties in the Northern Hemisphere have a colder climate than countries in the Southern Hemisphere. The most upper part of it, Artics, has a really cold climate, and both winters and summers are cold and snowy.

Which would be an adaptation for living in the tundra?

Novosadov [1.4K]

This question is incomplete. Here's the complete question.

Which would be an adaptation for living in the tundra?

funnel shaped leaves to help water runoff

deep roots to go into the permafrost

hibernation to lower metabolism in the winter

large ears to release heat

Answer: hibernation to lower metabolism in the winter

Explanation:

Hibernation is something many animals do to survive in the tundra. They hid in dens for several months during the winter. Their metabolisms get to a dormant state in which their bodies survive thanks to stores of fat gained during the summer. The Grizzly bear is an example of a tundra animal that hibernates during the winter.
