Answer:

1. oceanic-oceanic boundaries

2. oceanic-continental boundaries

3. continental-continental boundaries

Explanation:

The three types of plate convergence are:

1. oceanic-oceanic boundaries: this occurs when two oceanic plates clash; thereby the heavier plate forms below the lighter plate resulting in dark, heavy, basaltic volcanic islands.

2. oceanic-continental boundaries: this occurs when there is a collision between oceanic and continental plates, resulting in the downward movement of oceanic plate, while the volcanic arc rises on land

3. continental-continental boundaries: this occurs due to the massive crust of slabs clashing against each other. Thereby leading to big mountains forming from folded, faulted, and thickened convergent boundaries

Where do polar and tropical air masses develop
polet [3.4K]

The polar air masses are air masses that form on the high latitudes, in the polar regions. The tropical air masses are air masses that form on the low latitudes, around the equator.

The polar air masses are cold air masses. They are also dry, very dense, and have much higher air pressure. The tropical air masses are warm air masses. Depending have they formed over land or over sea, they can be either dry or moist, and they have low air pressure as they are much less dense.

A typical polar air mass brings in cold and dry weather, while the tropical air mass brings in warm weather, with either lot of precipitation, or being very dry.

The polar air masses are moving from the high latitudes toward the lower latitudes, while the tropical air masses are moving from the lower latitudes toward the higher latitudes.

Calculate the mass of water formed when 4g of methane is burnt in excess oxygen​
uysha [10]

CH4 + 02 → H20 + CO2

balance equation

CH4 + 2O2 → 2H2O + CO2

4 ÷ ( 12 + 4 ) = 0.25 mol

1 : 2

no mole of H2O = 0.25 × 2 = 0.5 mol

mass of H2O = 0.5 × ( 2 + 16 ) = 9g
