What happens when plates meet? (4 complete sentences minimum)

Biology
1 answer:
sergiy2304 [10]2 years ago
4 0

Answer:

If two tectonic plates collide, they form a convergent plate boundary. Usually, one amongst the converging plates will move beneath the opposite, a process called subduction. ... The new magma (molten rock) rises and will erupt violently to make volcanoes, often building arcs of islands along the convergent boundary. When two plates are moving far from one another, we call this a divergent plate boundary. Along these boundaries, magma rises from deep within the world and erupts to make new crust on the lithosphere. Most divergent plate boundaries are underwater and form submarine mountain ranges called oceanic spreading ridges. While the method of forming these mountain ranges is volcanic, volcanoes and earthquakes along oceanic spreading ridges aren't as violent as they're at convergent plate boundaries.

What hypothesis did Darwin investigate by studying the breeding of pigeons with distinctive traits?
siniylev [52]

Answer:

New species can appear gradually through small changes in an ancestral species.

Explanation:

The new species that appear are due to hereditary variations that occur in a population. The adaptive variations are said to confer a selective advantage to organisms possessing them. The result of variations is that well adapted individuals are able to survive and reach the reproductive age and pass over their favourable characteristics to their offspring.

Mr Ackah, a retired teacher had been recording consistent increase of blood pressure for the past five year. what accounted for
OleMash [197]

Answer:

Change in the vascular system.

Explanation:

High blood pressure occurs when the arteries in the human body system become rigid thereby making the blood pressure rise.

The cause for this situation particularly in older people is the changes in the vascular system or circulatory system.

This is said to be vasoconstriction which lowers the flow of blood in the circulatory system, thereby causing high blood pressure

Hence, since Mr. Ackah is a retired teacher, it is believed that he is an old man susceptible to changes in the vascular system or vasoconstriction.
