Answer:
From the statements mentioned about Convergent Boudaries we can select the following as true.
- Convergent boundaries are where two plates move toward each other. By definition this statement is true.
- New oceanic plate (oceanic lithosphere) is created at convergent boundaries. True, a new oceanic plate can form from the action of convergent boundaries at midocean, lava and million of years do the remaining job.
- Convergent boundaries that have subduction occurring provide a "pull" force that contributes to plate motion. False, Subducting melt and ascend trough the rock creating a volcanic eruption cone and producing an island chain.
- Oceanic plates can be destroyed at convergent boundaries due to subduction. False, The older plate will subduct due to its density and it is forced deep into the mantle, it will melt once the deepth is reached.
The correct answer is - kilometers.
Very often, the map scale is showing distances in both miles and kilometers. The reason for this that the majority of the countries in the world use the metric system, thus the kilometers are a must, but also there countries that do not use this system, thus they include the miles. In this way, the map scale can be used by people that both use and not use the metric system in their daily lives.
The map scale is a very important element on the maps. Its purpose is to enable the reader of the map to be able to measure the distance from one place to another, thus to be aware of the real distance in the real space.
