Answer:

So, as per Pratt isostasy hypothesis, each slabs will sink at the same rate at the bottom but the continental slab will remain high however the oceanic slab will stay less by 10 km

What are the major CULTURAL TRAITS of the nation in which Hubei is located?
enyata [817]

Answer:

Hubei is a city in China, therefore the cultural traits of china are:

Kindness, justice, understanding, devotion, harmony.

Explanation:

The reasons behind this are two. First of all, Hubei is a province of chine surrounded by land and a few rivers in central China. Therefore it belongs to the Chinese republic. The cultural traits that the people of china have are deeply rooted in their ancestry, their knowledge, and their experiences. Thus, as a country of warriors, they developed a strong call to justice and to call the appropriate and the inappropriate. They as a culture of scholars developed an understanding of everything, so they analyze everything with detail. Devotion, because they learned betrayal is always poisonous. Harmony, because their religion and history allowed them to discover that there has to be a balance in everything. And kindness because they have seen conquest and be conquered. So, they know when to be kind because they could have suffered from cruelty in their past.

The best known is the 'Ring of Fire' in the Pacific, where most of the active volcanoes are.</span>

More than a billion years ago, the continent of Africa hit North America, generating enormous pressure and heat while pushing up
soldi70 [24.7K]

Answer:

D. Metamorphic, Sedimentary

Explanation:

When both plates collide, heating and high pressure causes recrystallisation of minerals that have been formed before. New mineralogical facies would surface. This is a metamorphic change and the rock becomes a metamorphic rock.

Due to the weathering of this rock, materials are eroded, transported into basins of deposition to form new sedimentary layers. The rock that forms through the compaction and cementation of the sediments is a sedimentary rock.
