When an oceanic plate collides with a continental plate, the continental plate usually slides up and over the denser oceanic pla
KengaRu [80]
The correct answer is B Subduction. Subduction is the process by which an oceanic plate gets dragged under another plate and is eventually destroyed in the mantle. Subduction occurs at convergent margins where two oceanic plates collide or an oceanic and Continental plate collide. Oceanic crust is made of mainly of silica and magnesium which is heavier or denser than continental crust which is composed mainly of silica and aluminium.
The subducting plate melts producing excess magma giving rise to volcanoes along these margins.

Identify the false statement.
stepan [7]

Answer:

A. Weathering, vegetation covering, and water influence the stability of a slope.

Explanation:

  • As water tends to flow down by the act of gravity the flow of the water down the slope will make the unconsolidated sediments to flow down the slope and thereby making the slope more prone to weathering and not stabilization it hence the flow tends to move down the rocks, silt and loose particles and thus making it me prone to weathering and erosion.
  • <u>Thus the flowage of the matter will create more impacts on the slope angle and width as it will spread more faster and extensively.</u>
