High rates of
volcanism, earthquakes, and mountain building are the sites of subduction
zones. They occur in convergent boundaries found in tectonic plates of both
oceanic and continental crusts. Subduction zones occur when one tectonic plate
moves under another tectonic plate, sinking into the mantle as the plates
converge again.

Regions that are
within subduction zones experience an average rate of convergence of 2-8
centimeters per year. They are subject to many earthquakes because of the
collisions that occur within the tectonic plates. </span>
The source of the oxygen released into the air as a product of photosynthesis is C) Water only.
Answer: The question is incomplete therefore, the options are gotten from another websites.
demonstrating?
A. mechanical energy
B. potential energy
C. kinetic energy
D. two of the above
The correct option is C.
Kinetic energy.
Explanation:
It is kinetic energy because the chemical energy stores in food is converted to kinetic energy and this is because kinetic energy is the energy in motion.
When a person is running, the energy the person is using is kinetic energy because is the energy the person possess by virtue of his body in motion and it is the energy required to accelerate a body with mass from rest.
Photorespiration limits casualty products of light reactions
that build up in the absence of the Calvin cycle. In many plants,
photorespiration is a problem because on a hot, dry day it can drain as much as
50% of the carbon fixed by the Calvin cycle. The closing of stomata reduces access to CO2
and causes O2 to build up. These conditions favor a seemingly not useful process
called photorespiration. In most plants
(C3 plants), initial fixation of CO2, via rubisco, forms a three-carbon
compound. In photorespiration, rubisco
adds O2 instead of CO2 in the Calvin cycle. Photorespiration eats up O2 and
organic fuel and releases CO2 without producing ATP or sugar. Photorespiration
can evolve relic because rubisco first evolved at a time when the atmosphere
had far less O2 and more CO2.
The growth of all flowering plant takes place within the
specialized tissue called the meristems. They are tissues in the plants in
which they have the role of dividing the plant’s cell and in the same way this
is where the growth is being done.
