Which of the following statements are TRUE? a. All convergent plate boundaries involve the process of rifting b. All subduction
lorasvet [3.4K]

Answer:

<u>e. All convergent plate boundaries are subduction zones</u>

Explanation:

  • It's well known that any place either on land or ocean when is subdued into the earth's mantle is formed by a subduction zone where the plate boundaries collide either oceanic or continental boundaries this collision can result from the earthquake and volcanic eruptions.
  • These collisions thus lead to the creation of mountains and volcanoes at greater altitudes as the place gets elevated and as a result of the slab push and pull as many earthquakes generally occur in this shallow zone also named as the Benioff zone.
  • Plates dip here at an angle of 45 degrees and thus form these internal subduction zones that lead to lithospheric density differentiation

How did Israel respond to the PLO’s use of terrorist tactics during the 1970s? by granting Palestinians limited self-government
maxonik [38]
Israel responded by what is termed here 'terrorist' tactics of the PLO in the 1970's by raiding PLO bases in neighboring Arab countries. It must be realized historically that Palestine used to belong to the Arab Palestinians ie it was their country and it was stolen by the British colonialists and sold to the rich Zionists for their so-called homeland. If the Israel govt really wanted to live in peace with the Palestinians and be slightly modest that they took away their country, then they wouldn't provoke them with settlements in the little land left that the Palestinians have on the Westbank and they would live in peace and harmony with them and Israel could have both Arabs and Jews living in harmony.
