Answer:

At the point when a oceanic plate crashes into a continental plate the crust shaping the oceanic plate bents and get pulled under the continental crust. This is on account of the rocks that frame the oceanic crusts are denser and more slender than the rocks that shape the continental crust. The procedure by which the oceanic crust is pulled under the continental crust is called subduction and the zone at which this happens at the plate boundaries is known as the subduction zone. At the subduction zone where the oceanic crust sinks underneath the continental crust, a profound oceanic trench or valley is made.

Licemer1 [7]

Answer:

Scientists think that foxgloves have evolved the poisons as an evolutionary adaptation and defense mechanism that provided them with better survival capacities.

As poisons are repellents which help the plants to repel any predator or attacker and enhance their survival. That is why scientists are of the view that old fox glove did not necessarily had this poison many hundred years ago but some how there would be facing harsh circumstances or alot of predators. Due to which, with the passage of time they developed these chemicals which enhanced their life time and survival chances.

Some poisonous chemicals from foxglove are:

  • Deslanoside
  • Digitoxin
  • Digitalis glycoside

Hope it help!
