C: One plate is going underneath the other plate and sinking into the soft rock below.
Explanation:
Where plates are moving towards each other they are said to converging, and are called convergent margins.
The lithosphere is broken into series of slabs called plates. The plates moves on the weak and relatively soft asthenosphere below.
Plates have different motion. At some places, they move apart and they are said to be divergent.
When plates moves towards each other, they are convergent. At a convergent margin, a plate collides with another thereby causing the denser plate usually the oceanic plate to subduct into the asthenosphere. In some other cases, the plates can collide and build upward.

Answer: (e) The pressure in the container increases but does not double.
Explanation:
To solve this, we need to first remember our gas law, Boyle's law states that the pressure and volume of a gas have an inverse relationship. That is, If volume increases, then pressure decreases and vice versa, when temperature is held constant. Therefore, increasing the volume in this case does not double the pressure owning to out gas law, but an increase in pressure would be noticed if temperature is constant
As one moves across a period, from left to right, both the number of protons and electrons of a neutral atom increase. The enhancing number of electrons and protons results in a greater attraction between the electrons and the nucleus. This uplifted attraction pulls the electrons nearer to the nucleus, therefore, reducing the size of the atom.
On the other hand, while moving down a group, there is an increase in the number of energy levels. The enhanced number of energy levels increases the size of the atom in spite of the elevation in the number of protons. In the outermost energy levels, the protons get attracted towards the nucleus, however, the attraction is less due to an increase in the distance from the nucleus.
Answer:4
Explanation:
As shown in the image attached, a face-centred cubic structure has 8 atoms at the corners and 6 face center atoms.
Each corner atom contributes to eight cell, so per unit cell 1/8 ×8 =1atom
Face center atoms contributes to two unit cells 1/2 × 6=3atoms
Total atoms =3+1=4atoms
Therefore the atoms in Al FCC per unit cell is 4
