Answer:

Distance from the sun has nothing to do with something being a planet or not. Pluto is not considered being a planet because it is too small so we call it a dwarf planet.

Because Pluto has an orbit around the Sun which is very elliptical, there are times when it crosses Neptune's orbit and becomes closer to the Sun than Neptune. For 20 years, from 1979 to 1999, Neptune was actually farther from the sun than Pluto.

Use the drop-down menus to identify the types of convergent boundaries labeled A, B, And C.
algol [13]
Oceanic-continental convergence occurs when an oceanic plate and a continental plate converge. They are pushed together and the oceanic plate is forced to go under the continental plate. So based on the diagram, this convergence occurred in letter B. 

Oceanic-oceanic convergence occurs when two oceanic plates collide into one another. The oceanic plate that is older, denser and/or colder will be the plate that will go under the other. It will be forced down into the mantle. So in our diagram, this occurs in letter A.

Continental-continental convergence occurs when two continental plates converge. In this case, the plates push up against each other and create mountain ranges. Unlike the other two, they do not sink down, the movement is upwards. This occurs in the area C of your diagram.

What is the role of convention in plate tectonics?
Hunter-Best [27]

Answer:

read below

Explanation:

Convection currents in the magma drive plate tectonics. Heat generated from the radioactive decay of elements deep in the interior of the Earth creates magma (molten rock) in the aesthenosphere. The aesthenosphere (70 ~ 250 km) is part of the mantle, the middle sphere of the Earth that extends to 2900 km.
