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

Geography
1 answer:
Delvig [45]3 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.

Question 5 ListenA ball is thrown straight upward from the surface of Earth. Which statement best describes the ball’s velocit
mars1129 [50]

Acceleration is non zero but the velocity is zero.

Answer: Option 2.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Acceleration is the speed that an object gains with in a short period of time. In the language of Mechanics, Acceleration is the change in the velocities of the objects with respect to the time. So when a ball is thrown up in the air, there will be some acceleration and there will be some speed that the ball will gain when thrown up.

Velocity is the speed of an object but in a particular direction. Velocity of an object is the rate of change of the position of the object with respect to the frame of reference of that frame. So the velocity of the ball up in the air is zero.

scoundrel [369]

Answer:

Convergent plate boundaries cause tsunamis

Explanation:

The breaking rocks allow the overriding plate to slip over part of the subducting plate all along the fault line. The plate movement on the ocean floor can cause a tsunami.
