Answer:

Oceanic Lithosphere

Explanatation

Oceanic lithosphere is more dense (compacted by immense pressure from oceans) and the continental lithosphere is less dense (lack of pressure from anything above it).  When the two collide, the continental lithosphere will essentially float on top of subterranean magma while the oceanic lithosphere, being the denser of the two, will slip beneath the continental lithosphere and dive into the magma chamber.

The changes in shape, size, and position of features that occur when
timofeeve [1]

Answer:

D. Distortion.

Explanation:

In Geography, topography can be defined as the shape and structure of the Earth surface. Thus, a flat map is used to graphically describe this features.

Generally, elevations are represented on maps by lines of contour, which typically connect points having the same elevation. Also, elevations are shown on a physical map by using bands of color to connect points. In Geography, elevations are represented or measured in feets or meters.

Contours can be defined imaginary lines used for connecting locations that are having similar elevations on the Earth's surface. These contour lines are typically used for modeling the three-dimensional shape of the Earth surface in a map.

Hence, the changes in shape, size, and position of features that occur when representing the Earth on a flat map take place because of distortion.

Describe the diffrence between a closed circuit and an open circuit
kari74 [83]

Answer:

An open circuit is one where the continuity has been broken by an interruption in the path for current to flow. A closed circuit is one that is complete, with good continuity throughout.

Explanation:

For instance, a simple light switch opens and closes the circuit that connects a light to a power source. When you build a circuit, it's a good idea to disconnect the battery or other power source when the circuit is not in use.
