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.

Ryan is a young teen who has constant access to the Internet. In what way is he likely to misuse this access?

erik [133]

Answer:

B. by chatting with friends

C. by downloading violent or sexual content

Explanation: The immoderate use of internet can decrease Ryan's concentration for studying and lead him to explore deeper into the internet world. By having access to almost everything online, he can delve into online sexual content and develop interest in it. Since the content varies, it is most likely for Ryan to get attracted to violent content. Also, as a teenager, instead of using internet to gather information for a lecture or a test, he can quickly lose interest by being online with his friends constantly. Therefore, it is very important for parents to have some kind of control of the teenager's online surfing since it can deeply affect his concentration, mental health and view of sexual intercourse.
