What is most likely at the location of the volcanoes and ocean trenches?

Answer:

Generally they lie seaward of and parallel to adjacent island arcs or mountain ranges of the continental margins. They are closely associated with and found in subduction zones. Hope this helps! =)

Answer:

Ocean trenches are long, narrow depressions on the seafloor. These chasms are the deepest parts of the ocean—and some of the deepest natural spots on Earth. Ocean trenches are found in every ocean basin on the planet, although the deepest ocean trenches ring the Pacific as part of the so-called “Ring of Fire” that also includes active volcanoes and earthquake zones.

Ocean trenches are a result of tectonic activity, which describes the movement of the Earth’s lithosphere. In particular, ocean trenches are a feature of convergent plate boundaries, where two or more tectonic plates meet. At many convergent plate boundaries, dense lithosphere melts or slides beneath less-dense lithosphere in a process called subduction, creating a trench.

Ocean trenches occupy the deepest layer of the ocean, the hadalpelagic zone. The intense pressure, lack of sunlight, and frigid temperatures of the hadalpelagic zone make ocean trenches some of the most unique habitats on Earth.

Subduction Zones

When the leading edge of a dense tectonic plate meets the leading edge of a less-dense plate, the denser plate bends downward. This place where the denser plate subducts is called a subduction zone.  

Oceanic subduction zones almost always feature a small hill preceding the ocean trench itself. This hill, called the outer trench swell, marks the region where the subducting plate begins to buckle and fall beneath the more buoyant plate.

Some ocean trenches are formed by subduction between a plate carrying continental crust and a plate carrying oceanic crust. Continental crust is always much more buoyant than oceanic crust, and oceanic crust will always subduct.  

Ocean trenches formed by this continental-oceanic boundary are asymmetrical. On a trench’s outer slope (the oceanic side), the slope is gentle as the plate gradually bends into the trench. On the inner slope (continental side), the trench walls are much more steep. The types of rocks found in these ocean trenches are also asymmetrical. The oceanic side is dominated by thick sedimentary rocks, while the continental side generally has a more igneous and metamorphic composition.

Some of the most familiar ocean trenches are the result of this type of convergent plate boundary. The Peru-Chile Trench off the west coast of South America is formed by the oceanic crust of the Nazca plate subducting beneath the continental crust of the South American plate. The Ryukyu Trench, stretching out from southern Japan, is formed as the oceanic crust of the Philippine plate subducts beneath the continental crust of the Eurasian plate.

More rarely, ocean trenches can be formed when two plates carrying oceanic crust meet. The Mariana Trench, in the South Pacific Ocean, is formed as the mighty Pacific plate subducts beneath the smaller, less-dense Philippine plate.  

In a subduction zone, some of the molten material—the former seafloor—can rise through volcanoes located near the trench. The volcanoes often build volcanic arcs—island mountain ranges that lie parallel to the trench. The Aleutian Trench is formed where the Pacific plate subducts beneath the North American plate in the Arctic region between the U.S. state of Alaska and the Russian region of Siberia. The Aleutian Islands form a volcanic arc that swings out from the Alaskan Peninsula and just north of the Aleutian Trench.

Not all ocean trenches are in the Pacific, of course. The Puerto Rico Trench is a tectonically complex depression in part formed by the Lesser Antilles subduction zone. Here, the oceanic crust of the enormous North American plate (carrying the western Atlantic Ocean) is being subducted beneath the oceanic crust of the smaller Caribbean plate.

The Anthropocene represents the first time that humans have played a pivotal role in the functioning of Earth as a system. There are both positives and negatives of this fact, and it is our responsibility to ensure that the positive impacts outweigh the negative ones in the future.

Now that humans have recognized how destructive unrestrained growth can be, they have set aside vast swaths of natural areas to be protected, such as Yosemite National Park
Burning fossil fuels by driving cars has led to large increases in air pollution, which has altered atmospheric chemistry and led to warmer air temperatures.
As cities grow, more people have access to amenities that are harder to access in rural areas, such as state-of-the-art health care
Humans have figured out how to selectively breed crops so that they have higher yields, allowing more people on the planet to be fed
Clearing forested land so that cities can expand has resulted in many plants and animals becoming extinct as their habitat is destroyed

In many parts of the world, there is a rock layer rich in the metal iridium. Iridium is very rare on Earth, but it is relatively common in meteorites and other debris that comes from outer space. All occurrences of this iridium layer are from the same geologic epoch, at the very end of the Cretaceous. Most of the fossils in rock layers below the iridium layer, including dinosaur fossils, do not appear in layers above the iridium layer.

Based on this evidence from the rock and fossil record,
A.
meteoroids and other space debris did not impact the Earth at the end of the Cretaceous.
B.
an asteroid impact likely caused a mass extinction at the end of the Cretaceous.
C.
meteorites and other space debris no longer contain the metal iridium.

A star that looks bright in the night time sky might really be a very dim star that happens to be nearby; conversely, a faint star might really be a very luminous star that is extremely far away. Astronomers need to know the true brightness of stars; the true brightness tells us how much power is emitted from the surface in the form of starlight, and it can be calculated once the distance to the star is known. What process causes stars to emit light energy?

A. nuclear fusion
B. oxygen fusion
C. oxygen fusion
D. hydrogen fusion
