Explain how the formation of oceanic trenches and folded mountain belts on continents are related to convergent plate boundaries

.
Geography

Nikolay [14]4 years ago

In convergent plate boundaries, one plate subducts under one another due to different density.

Ocean trench- When subduction occurs, a plate would be subducted, and the inbetween of two plates would leave a deep trench due to the motion. One example is the Mariana Trench.

Folded mountain belts- When the plate converge,pressure would be put on the place causing the crust to arch up and be folded. One of example is the Himalayas belt,which occurs when the Indo-Australian Plate and Eurasian Plate collide.

Suppose you read in the newspaper that a new planet has been found. Its average speed in orbit is 33 km/s. When it is closest to
Natalka [10]

Answer:

True

Explanation:

Kepler's second law states that for a planet orbiting a star, if we join the planet and the star by an imaginary line, such line sweeps equal areas in equal times.

Let's imagine the planetary orbit is elliptical. When the planet is closest to the star it travels a large distance in its orbit but takes little time to travel. When the planet is furthest from the star, it travels a small distance in the orbit but in a long time so it ends up sweeping the same are as in the first case.

Therefore, this means when the planet is closest to the star it must have a greater speed than when it's furthest. We know this thanks to the speed formula v = d/t (velocity equals distance divided by time).

For a great distance and small time, speed is a large value.

For a small distance and a great time, speed is a small value.
