It’s also known as a destructive plate boundary.
The oceanic crust subducts, melts and rises to form volcanoes. The plates may get ‘stuck’ at one point, oceanic crust is still trying to subduct, pressure builds up, plates get ‘unstuck’ triggering huge esrthquakes.
Answer: Adiabatic temperature gradient is the rate of change in temperature due to pressure under adiabatic conditions.
Explanation:
The rate of change of temperature due to pressure under adiabatic conditions is referred to as adiabatic temperature gradient.
In practice, since in the sea the pressure changes can be considered proportional to depth changes, the adiabatic temperature gradient is usually given as rate of change per unit depth, instead of per unit pressure and for practical purposes and calculations, the unit of depth is often chosen as 1000 m.
The natural and non-natural heat transfer influence the process of adiabatic temperature gradient.
Answer: c. a meteoroid
Both meteor and meteorite are meteoroids that have penetrated the Earth's atmosphere while meteoroids are small parts of an asteroid or comet that are found orbiting the sun or near the Earth
