The winds that blow from the Subtropical High Pressure Systems (STHP) called the trade winds because it helped in trade when trade and commerce was mostly conducted with the help of sailing vessels. Those vessels required wind for travelling. These winds were thus called trade winds. I hope the answer helps.
At some convergent boundaries, an oceanic plate collides with a continental plate. Oceanic crust tends to be denser and thinner than continental crust, so the denser oceanic crust gets bent and pulled under, or subducted, beneath the lighter and thicker continental crust. This forms what is called a subduction zone.
The continents were once all connected together
The name of the city in Macedonian, Serbian and Bulgarian (all local Slavic tongues) is Kumanovo (Куманово). In Albanian, it is Kumanova or Kumanovë. Kumanovo derives from the name of the Cumans, a western branch of Kipchaks, the tribe that invaded the area in the early 12th century.
Municipality: Kumanovo Municipality
Country: Macedonia
Named for: tribe Kumans
Answer:
The crust size remains constant because the older crust is melted at subduction zones.
Explanation:
The crust is constnatly created on Earth, but the crust is constantly getting destroyed as well. This situation leads to the total size of the crust being roughly at the same level, or rather constant, as one side a new one emerges, while at the same time, on the other side it gets destroyed.
The vast majority of the new crust is formed where there are divergent plate boundaries. Here, a gap opens up between the plates that move away and magma is constantly rising to the surface and creates new crust. When it comes to the destruction of crust, it occurs at subduction zones. Here, one plate moves below another plate, and as it does it reaches the upper mantle where it gets melted and recycled because of the high temperatures and pressure.
