Answer:

Convergence of oceanic and continental plates

Explanation:

  • The plate tectonics states that the sedimentary on the earth has been formed from the sea beds or the ocean floor that was moved due to the deposition and accumulation of the sediments were small particles got cemented and compacted.
  • Formed due to the weather and erosion from the source area, and deposited by the ice, water, and mass wasting processes. Theses deposited in layers of strata led to the formation of natural resources like coal, natural gas, and fossil fuels.

Hello! How do earthquakes occur at the oceanic- oceanic plate divergence :) ? <br><br> Thanks
lys-0071 [83]

Answer: As the plates diverge lava pushes through the mantle, cools and forms a new section of crust.

Explanation:  Plates moving slowly along side each other create friction and intense heat as they slide resulting in volcanic activity if the rock melts. Earthquakes can occur if the plate slips sliding away or towards each other.

What is the theory for formation of fossil fuel plz help
Fed [463]

Answer:

The theory of the formation of fossil fuels is that fossil fuels are the remnants of organisms that lived a long time ago and were buried, heated, and formed into hydrocarbons.

Explanation:

A is not correct because the nitrogen is not a gas that is dominant in fossil fuels.

B is not correct because the oxygen can not turn to carbon in any manner.

C is correct because the consensus about the formation of fossil fuels is that after the organisms were dying out, they were getting buried (usually in the soft layers of the ocean floor), over time with the higher temperatures and pressure from below managed to change their structure and create hydrocarbons.

D is not correct because there hasn't been any evidence so far that there are fossil fuels on comets and asteroids.

Question:
Pavel [41]

Answer:

The world in spatial terms covers the location of things in the world. While geography isn't just about maps, it does consider the location of places and how that impacts the topic. Geography includes the concepts of absolute and relative location. Absolute location is a location that never changes, like your longitude and latitude, whereas relative location is your location relative to another location, like living between the catholic church and the supermarket.
