<h2>Answer:</h2>

The correct option is <u>C) continental crust does not undergo subduction while oceanic crust</u>.

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

The oceanic crust comprises of basalt while continental crust comprises of granite. The oceanic crust is much thinner than continental crust. While density of oceanic crust is more than continental crust. This is the reason the continental crust are floating while oceanic crust are not that buoyancy. Geologically, the continental crust is older than oceanic crust.

The crust is classified into continental crust and oceanic crust. The outer layer of the earth is crust which is floating on the molten mantle.

Which statement BEST describes a case in which push factors contributed to migration?
icang [17]

The correct answer is - D) Jewish immigrants in Poland who fled to the United States to escape religious persecution and seek safety and new opportunities.

The push factors are the factors that make the people move away from one place to another. They are negative factors, and can be economical, political, because of safety reasons etc.

The Jews that fled Poland in order to feel safe and get new opportunities in life in the United States, based on the religious and ethnic persecution, is a nice example of a push factor. In this case we have a push factor motivated on religious and ethnic hatred, which of course will make the people of the persecuted group feel unsafe, threatened, so they will try to move away if possible because their lives are in danger.

Pull-apart rift zones are generally associated with a ________ plate boundary.
ozzi

Pull-apart rift zones are generally associated with a divergent plate boundary.

<u>Explanation:</u>

In geology, rifts are those linear zones where lithosphere is getting pulled apart. Divergent plate boundary, also named as extensional boundary or constructive boundary is a linear characteristic that exist in between both the tectonic plates that tends to move away from each other.

Major rifts can be found alongside the central axis of mid-ocean ridges, where lithosphere and new oceanic crust is created between two tectonic plates in the path of a divergent boundary.

When the two plates pull apart, general faults or breakdowns are developed on both the sides of the rifts and the central blocks start to slide downwards thereby initiating the earthquakes.
