Answer:

landward of oceanic trenches

Explanation:

Igneous activities leads to the production of magma.

An oceanic trench is one very distinguishing feature of the deep sea. It usually lies close to subduction zones where two plates pull together. In a subduction zone, the heavier lithospheric plate usually the oceanic plate sinks beneath the lighter continental plate. The convergence of the plate leads to series of earth tectonic activities that forms the trench.

Oceanic trenches are the deepest part of the earth and they indicate the point in the oceanic plate where subduction usually sets in. Landward of the trenches is the continental plate overriding the oceanic plate. As partial melting accompanies the subducting  plate, magma forces its way up to form continental igneous activities. Therefore, we can observe volcanic arcs in these zones.

Which best describes the very next phase in our sun's life cycle?
Maslowich

Answer:

D. it will expand and become a red giant.

Explanation:

In the main phase of any star's life, hydrogen is being fused into helium inside the core. This phase takes up 90% of the star's life span, and this is the phase the sun is at now. The next phase is where it turns into a red giant. Once the hydrogen has completely turned into helium, the inert helium ash collapses on itself. Which in turn causes the core to get denser and heat up, which also expands its size. It appears red because outer surface is a lower temperature, that makes it appear red (hence the name "Red Giant")
