What phrase best describes subduction

Geography
1 answer:
goldfiish [28.3K]3 years ago
3 0
My answer -

I believe the correct answer is:
 Subduction is the collision between two tectonic plates. It is the biggest crash scene here on Earth. It is a geological process where one plate moves under another and is forced down into the mantle.


P.S

Happy to help you have an AWESOME!!! day :)

What happens when an oceanic plate converges with any other plate?
Marat540 [252]
When two oceanic plates converge, the denser plate will end up sinking below the less dense plate, leading to the formation of an oceanic subduction zone. Old, dense crust tends to be subduction back into the earth.

Explain the relationship density has on wind currents and ocean currents.
ki77a [65]
<span>The nature flows from high to low to form the equilibria in temperature, pressure or concentration.  Winds blow from high pressure area to low pressure zone. Colder winds occur from high pressure area while dry air are formed from low pressure area.  Ocean currents flow from warm breeze to cold breeze in day and reversed during night.</span>

2. If both the mass and radius of the earth, each decreases by 50%, the acceleration due to gravity would (a) remain same (b) de
Scrat [10]

Answer:

(d) increase by 100%

Explanation:

m_{i} = initial mass of earth = m

m_{f} = final mass of earth = (0.5) m

R_{i} = initial radius of earth = R

R_{f} = final radius of earth = (0.5) R

g_{i} = initial acceleration due to gravity of earth = g

g_{f} = final acceleration due to gravity of earth

initial acceleration due to gravity of earth is given as

g_{i} = \frac{Gm_{i}}{R_{i}^{2}}                             Eq-1

Final acceleration due to gravity of earth is given as

g_{f} = \frac{Gm_{f}}{R_{f}^{2}}                             Eq-2

Dividing eq-1 by eq-2

\frac{g_{i}}{g_{f}} = \frac{m_{i}}{m_{f}}\frac{R_{f}^{2}}{R_{i}^{2}}

inserting the values

\frac{g}{g_{f}} = \frac{m_{i}}{(0.5)m_{i}}\frac{(0.5)^{2}R_{i}^{2}}{R_{i}^{2}}

g_{f} = 2 g

So there is 100% increase
