Answer:

The denser plate is subducted underneath the less dense plate

Explanation:

When two oceanic plates collide one oceanic plate is eventually subducted under the other. ... When two oceanic plates collide, the denser plate is subducted and some material rises upward and forms an ISLAND.

Answer:

C (I think)

Explanation:

Because when two oceanic plates converge, the denser plate will end up sinking below/under the less dense plate. Forms a subduction zone.

sveta [45]

Answer:

The magnetic field in the region a < r < b is $B=\frac{u_{0}I(r^{2}-a^{2}) }{2\pi r(b^{2}-a^{2}) }$

Explanation:

If we have the a < r < b. The formula of current is:

$J=\frac{I_{total} }{A}$

Where:

A = area enclosed by the loop.

Itotal = total current in loop.

$J=\frac{I}{\pi b^{2}-\pi a^{2} }$

$I_{enclosed} =JA_{enclosed}$

$I_{enclosed} =\frac{I(\pi r^{2}- \pi a^{2})}{\pi b^{2}-\pi a^{2} }$

If we have the Ampere`s law:

$\int\limits^a_b {B} \, ds =u_{0} I_{enclosed} \\2B\pi r=u_{0} (\frac{I(\pi r^{2}-\pi ^{2} }{\pi ^{2}-\pi a^{2} } )\\B=\frac{u_{0}I(r^{2}-a^{2}) }{2\pi r(b^{2}-a^{2}) }$

It depends what is the position of earth and saturn. Distance from earth to saturn varies depending on whether earth is between sun and saturn or sun is between earth and saturn. Obviously, the shortest distance will be if earth is between sun and saturn. we will take that the distance between earth and saturn is:

s = 1 275 000 000 km
The time required to travel that distance is:
t = s/v = 45535 hours or 1897.3 days
