What is required for an ocean trench to form

Biology

Lina20 [59]2 years ago

Trenches are formed by subduction, a geophysical process in which two or more of Earth's tectonic plates converge and the older, denser plate is pulled beneath the lighter plate and deep into the mantle, causing the seafloor and outermost crust ( the lithosphere) the bend and form a steep, V- shaped depression.

Answer: Trenches are the V-shaped depression that are formed in the ocean when two distinct plates collides with one another, of which the denser plate (oceanic plate) gets subducted beneath the less denser plate (continental/oceanic plate), creating a subduction zone or the benioff zone.

      Due to this subduction phenomenon, the V-shaped depression forms in the ocean which is known as the trench.

Which behavior can reduce pollution that occurs due to the use of coal?
mixas84 [53]

Answer:

A

Explanation:

Coal is majorly used to produces electricity. The coal is ignited and the heat produced used to heat water to steam. The steam is then used to drive turbines with a dynamo effect to produce electricity. Turning off lights when not in use reduces the demand for electricity hence reducing the amount of coal needed to meet this demand.

Other ways to conserve energy is using bulbs with low energy demand - such as LEDs - and  improving natural lighting indoors.
