<u>Answer:</u>

<em>Oceanic and continental plates are colliding. </em>

<em></em>

<u>Explanation:</u>

The collision of the ocean and continental plates makes the oceanic plates denser by overriding them by thicker and less thick continental plates. The ocean plates are forced to move down to the mantle through a seduction process. The melting, therefore, produces magma above the sub ducting ocean plates.

The magma chambers are usually not concentrated like the mantle material within the surrounding. The depth and size of the magma can be determined by mapping the earthquake activities happening around.

murzikaleks [220]

Answer:

  • "Island ArcsIsland arcs are long, curved chains of oceanic islands associated with seismic activity and mountain-building processes at certain plate boundaries. They occur where oceanic tectonic plates collide. Along one side of these island arcs, there is usually a long, narrow deep-sea trench.At island arcs, the denser plate is subducted and is forced into the partially molten mantle under the less dense plate. The islands are composed of the extrusive igneous rocks basalt and andesite. The basalt originates most likely from the plastic mantle. The andesite originates most likely from the melting of parts of the descending plate and sediments that had accumulated on its surface.Which list identifies minerals present in andesite from the greatest percentage by volume to the least percentage by volume? "  
  • As the different situations and events gave rise to the seven different tectonic plates which comprises the over all structure of the planet, as there are a number of geological sites that took there shape because of the movement of the different planetary regions, layers, or the components which makes up the deep down trenches and the islands along with the different volcanic hotspots.
  • Mostly the subduction region is only due the movement or the sliding of the different tectonic plates which gives rise to a way different  catastrophic events like the creation of the seismic way may generate  the earth quakes inside the different regions.      
  • Along, with that the different climates across the globe are also due the difference in such geological sites.

EastWind [94]
The answer is B. folding, uplift, and erosion. certain mountains are created from the folding of the upper layers of earth's crust. valleys on the other hand are made from the erosion of land or soil. tectonic uplift of the earths crust is also responsible for creating mountains.

Answer:

1. Drainage Basin

2. mouth

3. discharge

4. headwaters

5. meanders.

6. floodplain

Explanation:

A drainage basin is an area where water from precipitation such as rainwater collects before draining into a water body such as a river.

A delta is created where the highest quantity of sediments are deposited at the mouth of a river.

A river's discharge is the quantity of water flowing through a channel in a river.

The headwaters of a river are the source of water of a river, and are usually the farthest point from where it joins/empties into another water body.

Meanders are common feature of A stream with a low to moderate gradient.

A river with a well-developed floodplain has a flat low-lying channel and floods when there is a high quantity of water flowing through the river.
