On subduction zones

Explanation:

Explosives volcanoes are most likely to be found on subduction plate boundaries where one plate subducts (goes under) another plate. The subducting plate is usually a plate made of denser oceanic crust and the upper plate usually consists of less dense continental crust. Because of the composition of the magma and the high silica content found in the continental crust, these eruptions are much more explosive than the gentler basaltic flows characteristics of oceanic hotspot eruptions or undersea divergent plate boundaries.

Ok so i just did that quiz and here are the answers: 1. how is continental crust different from oceanic crust? a. continental crust is more dense and contains a lot of basalt.b.continental crust is thinner and younger. < c. oceanic crust is thinner and younger.d.oceanic crust is thicker and contains a lot of granite.2. where do subduction zones often occur? a.where a continental plate is being split into two partsb.where an oceanic plate is moving toward a continental plate < c.where two oceanic plates are moving away from each otherd.where two continental plates are colliding3. at which type of boundary do lithospheric plates collide? a.convection boundariesb.contour boundariesc.gravitational boundariesd.convergent boundaries < 4. what is the best description of a convergent boundary? a.plates that move side by side past each otherb.plates that are attracted to each other by gravity c.plates that move away from each otherd.plates that move toward each other < 5. how can mountain formation be described according to the theory of plate tectonics? a.as two continental plates collide along a convergent boundary, mountains are formed. < b.as a continental plate and an oceanic plate come together at a divergent boundary, mountains are formed.c.as any two plates meet at a fault line boundary, mountains are formed.d. as two continental plates move past each other at a transform boundary, mountains are formed.

If you could drill a hole straight to the center of the earth, and keep track of what the hole is going through, youwould find: a) you would go through one sort of material, and then a different, denser material, and then a still-different, still-denser material, because the planet is made of concentric layers, sort of like an onion.b) you would go through one sort of material all the way to the center, because the planet is all mixed up.c) if your hole started at the north pole, you would go through different layers of different materials, but ifyour hole started at the equator, you would go through one sort of material all the way to the center.d) if your hole started at the equator, you would go through different layers of different materials, but if yourhole started at the north pole, you would go through one sort of material all the way to the center.e) you would strike diet pepsi when you got to the center.
