Volcanoes are often formed at plate boundaries. This is a convergent plate boundary. From the choices listed, pick the correct d

escription of what happens before the volcano forms.
A)Denser continental plate pushes oceanic plate down. Oceanic plate melts deep in the Earth, Magma rises up through weak spot.B)The less dense oceanic plate subducts under the denser continental plate. Subducted plate melts due to heat and pressure. Melted plate, now magma, rises up to the surface.C)As the more dense oceanic plate subducts under the less dense continental plate, it pulls the front edge of the less dense plate down, creating a deep zone or oceanic trench.D)The more dense oceanic plate subducts under the less dense continental plate. Subducted plate melts due to heat and friction. Melted plate, now magma, rises up to the surface.

Is it an advantage or a disadvantage to have an accent?
gulaghasi [49]
Advantage: Because of your accent, some people may be interested in you. Not in you particularly, but since your accent sounds nice, they may be interested from where you are and the history of that place.
Disadvantage: Some people may find your accent weird and stuff, you may get bullied and made fun of because of it.

A. Describe the roles of mechanical and chemical weathering in the formation of the sediments that are eventually incorporated i
Serhud [2]

Answer:

As explained below.

Explanation:

  • Sedimentary rocks that are formed due to the accumulation of sediments that are derived from the deposition of small particles and their cementation of minerals and organic particles in the seafloor by the impact of various geological and earth processes like the wind, water, and glacier erosion.  
  • Earth's crust is covered by 73% of sedimentary rocks and about 8% of the total crustal surface. Based on their formation, these rocks are thus classified as  Siliciclastic, Carbonate, Evaporite, Iron-rich, and Phosphatic sedimentary rocks.
  • The color of these rocks is always determined by the iron and oxide contents, their size texture is a result of the density and permeability of the rocks like in the case of sandstone and limestone.
  • The relationship between the plate tectonics and the earthquakes is explained through the seismic waves that travel; through the three-layer of the earth from core to mantle to crust.
  • Earthquakes are directly related to plate boundaries as these are areas where these waves come out in the form of shocks and shaking of lands thus we expect of seeing three types of boundaries as  Convergent, Divergent and Transform.
