Answer:
23.383 is the exact area and 23.4 would be rounded to the nearest tenth.
Explanation:
Answer:
1. Continental-continental convergence are both <em>continental crust</em> plates.
2. Buoyancy basically means these plates are light float on top of the Asthenosphere.
Explanation:
1. To go a little more into detail, this type of convergence ocurrs when two plates made of continental crust (not oceanic) collide. In the case of ocean-continent convergence, the denser oceanic crust sinks underneath the lighter continental crust.
In this scenario, we have two plates, neither of which want to sink, so instead of going down they just crumple and fold and keep colliding. This collision creates very high mountain ranges such as the Himalaya and usually doesn't contain any volcanic activity because no magma is capable of penetrating through so much crustal material.
2. As for why continental crust is buoyant and doesn't sink has much to do with its composition. Continental crust is made mostly of silicate material. This is very different from oceanic crust which is made of basaltic rocks and is therefore heavier. The term buoyancy refers to the 'floating action' of the continental crust on top of the uppermost mantle.
I believe we probably could if we use a cleaner source of energy such as solar power. It's renewable and almost unlimited.
Hope this helps you! :D
Dark Matter only: detected through its gravitational attraction, has mass, most common form of mass in the halo of the Milky Way Galaxy, likely to consist of subatomic particles
Dark Energy only: inferred to exist from the measured acceleration of the universe's expansion, the proposed source of a universal repulsive force
BOTH: the universe contains more of this than it contains matter made from atoms, we do not know what it is made of
NEITHER: blocks light from stars behind it, "dark" because it emits only infrared light
