Answer:

slab push, volcanic eruptions, and subduction

Explanation:

To understand better, let's consider an example. Make small pieces of paper and put them in a bowl containing water. Then heat the bowl. After sometime, you will see that the pieces are moving. This is because of same phenomenon (convection currents) forming inside the bowl of water. The water will warm move upward whereas colder water will come to its place. Convection currents in Earth are formed due to high temperature of magma (molten rock material) that rises up and colder magma takes its position.

This process results in slab push, volcanic eruptions, and subduction.

<u>Slab pull</u>: Slab pull is the force exerted by plates during subduction. Subduction is a process when a denser plate moves beneath the less denser plate. Thus slab pull is also caused by convenction currents.

<u>Volcanic eruption</u>: During subduction, denser plate moves beneath the less denser plate until it reaches magma. There, the lithosphere destroyes. On a weaker lithosphere zone, the magma moves upward and break the crust thus leading to volcanic eruptions.

<u>Subduction</u>: As mentioned above, during subduction, denser plate moves beneath the less denser plate which is driven by convectin currents.

Answer:

A) Power plant

Explanation:

The key to understanding this question, is first knowing what "stationary" means. When something is stationary, it doesn't move, it just stays in one place.

Since power plants are buildings, they naturally don't move. On the other hand, the other choices are all vehicles that are intended to move. So while all of these options do cause air pollution, the power plant is the only one that is stationary.

I hope this answer helps you :)

TEA [102]

Answer: population, more

Explanation:

Carrying capacity is the size of the population of species that an ecosystem can support in terms of providing essential resources for survival. When the population of the species exceeds the carrying capacity then the population experience decline in population.

An population which produces more number of offspring than the environment can actually support then this will lead to the decline in the population due to the increase in the population beyond the carrying capacity.
