Answer:

The continental plate is the  location where volcanoes form when the convection in the asthenosphere creates a column of material that rises until it reaches the crust.

Explanation:

Volcanoes form at the edges of Earth’s tectonic plates. When the continental plate moves over the oceanic plate, it causes the oceanic plate to descend into the mantle where some of it melts, and the molten material moves into the mantle above the plate and causes the mantle to melt.

This liquid rock, called magma, rises to the surface because it is less dense then the surrounding rock, a volcano forms when the magma reaches the surface of the Earth at the continental plate.

What impact does fast food have on adolescent obesity?
BartSMP [9]
Fast Food often contains more sodium, carbs and sugar counts than most home cooked or healthy meals. For kids whos parents are on a budget, fast food is the often option for meals, causing calorie counts to build up, eventually turning into stages of obesity. The average child calorie intake is between 1,600-2,500 per day. It is also recommended that children under age 18 should refrain from sodium counts higher than 2,200 per day. For one meal at McDonalds, to get a cheeseburger, fries and a coca-cola beverage, you are looking at around 1,100 calories and 1,200 mg of sodium. If the child eats this two times a day, the total calorie count would be above the national average, therefore causing the child to gain weight off the extra calories.
