Answer:

Subductio zone

Explanation:

The Mariana trench is a result of the convergent plate boundary between the Filipino plate and Pacific plate, creating a subduction zone. The Filipino plate is not a large one, but still the much larger Pacific plate is subducting below it. The reason for this is that the Pacific plate is denser, heavier, lower. At the boundary itself, the Pacific plate moves below the Filipino plate, slowly getting into the mantle layer and getting melted and destroyed. The subduction zone though makes a large gap between the two plates, a gap that is constantly under immense pressure and experiences constant geological activity. This gap is filled with the ocean water, and it is actually the deepest place on the surface of the Earth with over 11 km bellow sea level. The name of it comes from the island chain next to the subduction zone, the Mariana Islands, thus it is called Mariana trench.

Which of the following factors inhibits harmful algal blooms (HABS)? What sort of energy is stored within an object suspended ab

Serhud [2]

Answer and Explanation:

1. Harmful Algal Bloom abbreviated as 'HAB' can be hindered by numerous variables as follows:

Precise distinguishing proof of HAB
Right transfer of natural materials, appropriate ventilation
Bringing down of overabundant nutrients
Persistently checking of water quality
Adding helpful microscopic organisms to the water and so forth.

2. Potential energy is put away inside an item suspended over the ground in light of the fact that during suspension it has no movement thus no Kinetic Energy but Potential energy is there.

3. The concentration of the Hydronium ion ( $H_{3}O^{+}$ ) in any solution is the deterministic factor of the extent of a solution's acidity or alkaline behavior.
