Explanation:
as the ocean plate is pushed under the overriding continental plate the ocean sedimentary layers are heated compressed and melted the pressure of the converging plates that create the subduction zone forces the Continental play upwards creating mountain ranges such as Andes
sandstone
Quartzite is formed when quartz-rich sandstone is altered by the heat and pressure.
A small percentage of Earth's freshwater is available to us because the other 97% is ocean water, salt water, and it is too salty to consume
Answer: Igneous rocks form when hot, molten rock crystallizes and solidifies. The melt originates deep within the Earth near active plate boundaries or hot spots, then rises toward the surface. Igneous rocks are divided into two groups, intrusive or extrusive, depending upon where the molten rock solidifies.
Fun fact: Igneous rock is the Latin word for fire.
Hope this helps!! ^^
Hello!
As you know, the Ring of Fire is a string of active and dormant volanic sites and seismic activity stretching from the Americas to Asia and down to Australia in the Pacific Ocean. This area has around 450 volcanoes (if not more) and is full of many trenches, which are deep and narrow excavations.
In this case the most likely cause of volanic activity in the area is best said to be b. The movemenet of mantle rock through the cracks between tectonic plates
These movements are also the same reason that explains the earthquakes that primarily occur in this region.
Hope this helps and if you need anymore clarifaction feel free to ask.
