Answer:

There are three main types of plate boundaries:

Convergent boundaries: where two plates are colliding. Subduction zones occur when one or both of the tectonic plates are composed of oceanic crust. ...

Divergent boundaries – where two plates are moving apart. ...

Transform boundaries – where plates slide passed each other.

Explanation:

Compressional boundary. At a compressional or destructive boundary the plates are moving towards each other. This usually involves a continental plate

New crust is being produced at a mid-ocean ridge. How does the affect the total size of the crust?
Jet001 [13]

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.

Why is Spanish the official language of 9 of the 13 nations of south America?
xxTIMURxx [149]

The correct answer is - The Spanish established their language when they colonized the territories.

During the period of the great discoveries the Spanish managed to occupy most of what is now South America. They implemented their language, culture, and laws, very often with using force and violence because lots of the native people were not willing to give up on their own culture, language, and way of life. The Spanish managed to prevail, and ruled for long enough that the Spanish language becomes the dominant language in nine South American countries.

Marine magnetic anomalies result from seafloor spreading in conjunction with
TiliK225 [7]

Answer:

D. magnetic polarity reversals

Explanation:

The marine magnetic anomalies are the result of two things; the seafloor spreading at the mid-ocean ridges and the magnetic polarity reversals.

The mid-ocean ridges are the places where the new crust forms. This places also have big influence on the magnetic anomalies, with the reason being that the magnetism has higher influence in this parts.

Also, the magnetic polarity reversals play a big role. The Earth has not always had the same magnetic polarity, and multiple times throughout its past the North and South Poles have been switching places when it comes to the magnetism.

The igneous rocks on the ocean floor have proof in them about this, as the metallic components are reacting to the magnetism and face toward the stronger magnetic field.
