Divergent volcanoes tend to have which of the following characteristics?

a. nonexplosive, moving along the sea floor with continental drift
b. explosive, producing large amounts of thermal energy
c. nonexplosive, producing large amounts of lava
d. explosive, producing large amounts of ash

Subduction zones form when an oceanic plate collides with another oceanic plate or continental plate. the continental crust is lighter and less dense than oceanic crust. continental crust's density is approximately 2.7 grams per cubic centimeter. oceanic crust is thinner and the average density is about 3.3 cubic centimeters. when the two crustal plates converge the oceanic plate always bends and subducts beneath a continental plate. once the oceanic crust subjects, the rocks are subjected to changes in heat and pressure. because of this, we would expect to find rocks in the area of a subduction. a) clastic b) igneous c) metamorphic d) sedimentary

The importance of the mind as a part of the body is an example of:

Achange in direction without a change in speed is called velocity
