i gonna help you next time post the question in earh science http://openstudy.com/study#/groups/Earth%20Sciences now let me see your question

OpenStudy (nickler38):

yeaaaaaaaaaa

OpenStudy (nickler38):

ty sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo much

OpenStudy (alexandervonhumboldt2):

ima not sure, but i would say D

OpenStudy (nickler38):

ok

OpenStudy (nickler38):

Volcanoes are often formed at plate boundaries. This is a convergent plate boundary. From the choices listed, pick the correct description of what happens before the volcano forms. A) Denser continental plate pushes oceanic plate down. Oceanic plate melts deep in the Earth, Magma rises up through weak spot. Eliminate B) The less dense oceanic plate subducts under the denser continental plate. Subducted plate melts due to heat and pressure. Melted plate, now magma, rises up to the surface. C) As the more dense oceanic plate subducts under the less dense continental plate, it pulls the front edge of the less dense plate down, creating a deep zone or oceanic trench. D) The more dense oceanic plate subducts under the less dense continental plate. Subducted plate melts due to heat and friction. Melted plate, now magma, rises up to the surface.

anyone here

OpenStudy (whpalmer4):

This sounds more like Earth Science than Biology!

OpenStudy (alexandervonhumboldt2):

i'm thinking

OpenStudy (nickler38):

oh i am not in science sry

OpenStudy (whpalmer4):

What, if anything, have you concluded by reading the question and answer choices? Any that you think can be ruled out?

OpenStudy (nickler38):

yes i have

OpenStudy (whpalmer4):

okay, share your thinking with us

OpenStudy (nickler38):

ok

OpenStudy (nickler38):

i think it is b

OpenStudy (alexandervonhumboldt2):

i would say so too

OpenStudy (nickler38):

yes

OpenStudy (nickler38):

As warm moist air from over the ocean moves inland over a city, the moving air mass is blocked by a mountain range. Which type of weather is MOST LIKELY to occur? A) rain B) snow C) sunny skies Eliminate D) low humidity

OpenStudy (whpalmer4):

Are you just posting all of your questions here for us to find the answers for you?

OpenStudy (nickler38):

no and yes first i think what my answer is then i post

OpenStudy (alexandervonhumboldt2):

what do you think it is?

OpenStudy (nickler38):

sunny skies

OpenStudy (alexandervonhumboldt2):

not good at weather. but probably you are correct

OpenStudy (nickler38):

ok ty

OpenStudy (nickler38):

Why are coastal areas cooler during the day than inland areas? A) It rains during the day in coastal areas. B) A cool breeze blows from the sea during the day. Eliminate C) Coastal areas experience storms every other day. D) The sea absorbs the heat of the air over coastal areas.

OpenStudy (alexandervonhumboldt2):

B maybe

OpenStudy (nickler38):

ok

OpenStudy (nickler38):

Usually, it is observed that climates in coastal regions are moderate as compared to climates in the interiors of continents. Why is this so? A) Regions along the coast receive rain throughout the year; regions inland do not. B) A cool breeze constantly blows from the ocean across the land at all times of the year. C) Conditions over the oceans change rapidly because water loses or gains heat faster than land. D) Conditions over the oceans change slowly because water takes more time than land to gain or lose heat.

OpenStudy (nickler38):

ty you sooo much

OpenStudy (nickler38):

u still here

OpenStudy (nickler38):

n0oooooooooooooooooo

OpenStudy (nickler38):
