What happens when a continental plate meets another continental plate at a convergent boundary? One or two sentences please

Geography
1 answer:
Delvig [45]4 years ago
8 0

Answer:

A convergent boundary means they are pushing towards each other (not side by side nor away).  That causes pressure that will most likely cause earthquakes until it settles down in position.

The earthquakes might be felt by the human population or not, depending on the strength of the movements involved and where they occur, but they will be registered by the seismographs around the world for sure.  Every day, thousands of earthquakes happen all over the planet, and only a handful of them are felt by humans.

Decide whether each phrase is describing land or water
GREYUIT [131]
Higher specific heat -Land
Lower specific heat - Water
Heats up faster - Land
Heats up slower - Water
Cools down faster - Land
Cools down slower - Water
The land is heating up faster, and also reaches higher temperatures than the water, but it also cools down much quicker, and reaches much lower temperatures than the water.

Answer:

space

Explanation:

As air gets warm, the air molecules have more energy and move around more, taking up more space. As the warm air expands, it becomes less dense than the cold air, so rises up and floats above the cold air.
