Answer:

I think the answer is Volcanoes.

Explanation:

If the two plates that meet at a convergent plate boundary both are of oceanic crust, the older, denser plate will subduct beneath the less dense plate. The older plate subducts into a trench, resulting in earthquakes. Melting of mantle material creates volcanoes at the subduction zone.

When two oceanic plates converge, the denser plate will end up sinking below the less dense plate, leading to the formation of an oceanic subduction zone. Old, dense crust tends to be subducted back into the earth. An example of a subduction zone formed from a convergent boundary is the Chile-Peru trench.

Hope this helps and if you could mark this as brainliest. Thanks!

What is the oxidation number of cl− in the hypochlorite ion clo−?
mariarad [96]

Answer : The oxidation number of chlorine (Cl) is, (+1)

Explanation :

Oxidation number : It represent the number of electrons lost or gained by the atoms of an element in a compound.

Oxidation numbers are generally written with the sign (+) and (-) first and then the magnitude.

When the atoms are present in their elemental state then the oxidation number will be zero.

Rules for Oxidation Numbers :

The oxidation number of a free element is always zero.

The oxidation number of a monatomic ion equals the charge of the ion.

The oxidation number of  Hydrogen (H)  is +1, but it is -1 in when combined with less electronegative elements.

The oxidation number of  oxygen (O)  in compounds is usually -2, but it is -1 in peroxides.

The oxidation number of a Group 1 element in a compound is +1.

The oxidation number of a Group 2 element in a compound is +2.

The oxidation number of a Group 17 element in a binary compound is -1.

The sum of the oxidation numbers of all of the atoms in a neutral compound is zero.

The sum of the oxidation numbers in a polyatomic ion is equal to the charge of the ion.

The given compound is, ClO^-

Let the oxidation state of 'Cl' be, 'x'

x+(-2)=-1\\\\x-2=-1\\\\x=+1

Therefore, the oxidation number of chlorine (Cl) is, (+1)

8. Which of the following are reasons why Index fossils are chosen for determining ages of rocks? Select all that apply .
igomit [66]

Answer:

B. Distributed over a very wide range

D. Limited life existence in geologic time.

Explanation:

Index fossils are very unique fossils that helps in determining the relative ages of rocks and biostratigraphic correlation. They are usually called guide fossils.

  • Fossils are the preserved remains of dead organisms found in rocks.
  • Index fossils are a special class of fossils with the following properties;
  1. They are widely distributed.
  2. They have a short stratigraphic range.
  3. They show rapid evolution trends
