When plates of differing densities collide, the plate that is more dense goes under the less dense plate. Trenches and volcanic mountains form.

Formation convergent boundaries

A tectonic plate boundary always forms when two continental plates collide. Neither plate subducts because the crust have approximately the same density. Instead, the rocks are smashed together causing them to recrystallize due to the intense heat and pressure from the colliding plates

5 factors that affect weather: geographic location/latitude altitude/height above sea level, ocean currents/large lakes, winds,t
Igoryamba

The statement is - True.

The five main factors that determine the weather at a certain place are the:

- geographic location/latitude

It determines the amount of sunlight, as well as the concentration of sun rays, which directly influences the temperature.

- altitude/height above sea level

The lower the place the warmer it is, the higher the place the colder it is, it is a simple rule that applies for all places on the planet, compared with places in their surroundings.

- ocean currents/large lakes

The ocean currents can bring cold and dry or warm and wet air masses, depending on what kind of an ocean current it is. The water also contributes to a more stable weather, with more moderate temperatures because of the thermal properties of the water to cool of and warm up slower than the land.

- winds

The air masses can bring cold and dry or warm and wet weather, so they influence the temperature and precipitation of a place.

- topography

Determines how much a place is exposed to the sunlight and the movement of the air masses.

goldfiish [28.3K]

Answer:

c. to account for two major and distinct prokaryotic groups in addition to eukaryotes.

Explanation:

Microbiologist Carl Woese compared the ribosomal RNA sequence of the small subunit of RNA. Various organisms have structurally different small subunit of the ribosomes. According to Woese the molecular composition of rRNA in closely related organisms should be more similar than in distantly related organisms. He analyzed the 16S rRNA of various organisms and observed that there are two distinct groups of prokaryotes. He divided the prokaryotes among two domains: Bacteria and Archaea. He placed all the eukaryotes in the domain Eukarya.
