Why are subduction zones not formed at continental-continental convergent boundaries?

Geography
1 answer:
Katarina [22]3 years ago

Answer:

Subduction zones are collision between two tectonics plates such that one of the plates is subducted to the mantle (or sinks) directly below the other plate

Whereby the densities of the convergent (colliding) continental plates are lower than the density of the mantle, subduction is prevented from occurring, and subduction zones are not formed at the continental-continental convergent boundaries

Identify and describe the four stages of the demographic transition model
horsena [70]

There's four stages in the classical demographic transition model:

Stage 1 - Pre-transition

In this stage, the birth rates are very high, but also the life expectancy is very low, thus the growth of the population is slow.

Stage 2 - Early transition

In this stage, the birth rates are very high, but the life expectancy is increased, so the population grows rapidly.

Stage 3 - Late transition

In this stage, the birth rates decline slightly, and the life expectancy is a bit higher, thus the population growth is slowing down.

Stage 4 - Post-transition

In this stage, the birth rates are declined significantly, the life expectancy is pretty high, so the population is either growing very slowly, or it is declining.
