Answer:

<u>submerging rift zone</u> due to slab pull

Explanation:

  • It is a low lying area found on both land and seas of oceanic ridges subduction zones along the convergent plate boundaries which are sited for long-lived hot spots in volcanic ocean basins and transforms faults are a result of divergent boundaries.
  • As the older and denser rocks sink deeper into the mantel and fall along the zone of hot spots. Grabens being an example of a rift valley on land is the center of mega-earthquake going deep down to the center of the mantel.
  • Overplayed by the lighter and less dense material or the slabs made up of silicon layers. Impacted by slab push and pull. This process has its history with the isostatic movements of the earth as the earth keeps in balance the cycle of geomaterials.

Match the energy source in column 1 to its characteristic in column 2. Nuclear power ? - Oil ? Solar power Hydroelectricity The
Afina-wow [57]

The matches for different forms of energy sources are as below,

  1. Nuclear energy – The largest non-fossil fuel source in the world
  2. Oil – May run out in the next 100 years
  3. Solar Power – Uses energy directly from the sun​
  4. Hydroelectricity – Uses running water

<h3>What are the different energy sources?</h3>

The forms of energy that can be used to perform certain tasks, where they serve as a fuel and electricity are known as energy sources. Oil and Nuclear energy are non-renewable sources of energy.

Whereas, the solar energy and hydroelectricity are renewable and clean sources of energy. They do not cause as much pollution as the non-renewable sources.

Hence, 1-A; 2-B; 3-D and 4-C are the matches for the energy sources.

What happens once and item breaks through the surface of tension in water?
mrs_skeptik [129]

COLLISION

Surface tension is a phenomenon where liquid molecules resist an external force because if the cohesive forces between them. Neighboring molecules share the cohesive forces with the surface exhibiting stronger bonds (than below the surface). Floating needle and small insects walking on water are examples of surface tension. A collision bumps the molecules and crashes through the “film” of the surface, breaking the tension.
