why does the oceanic crust sink beneath the continental crust at a subduction boundary?
Answer:
This is because Oceanic crust is denser than continental crust. At a subduction zone, the oceanic crust usually sinks into the mantle beneath lighter continental crust. (Sometimes, oceanic crust may grow so old and that dense that it collapses and spontaneously forms a subduction zone.
at which type of boundary is new oceanic crust created
Answer:
divergent boundary
Explanation:
A divergent boundary occurs when two tectonic plates move away from each other. Along these boundaries, earthquakes are common and magma (molten rock) rises from the Earth's mantle to the surface, solidifying to create new oceanic crust.
Why does economic growth lead to higher levels of pollution in emerging countries
Answer:

2.1.1. Igneous rock contains (fossils / no fossils). 2.1.2. Sedimentary rock erode (easily / difficult). 2.1.3. Coal is an example of (sedimentary / metamorphic rock). 2.1.4. Metamorphic rock is rocks that (have / have not) changed in form. 2.1.5. Crystal are (present / not present) in sedimentary rock.
hey
Igneous rocks do not contain any fossils. This is because any fossils in the original rock will have melted when the rock melted to form magma

For a named river you have studied, explain the causes of flooding.
Answer:
Severe flooding is caused by atmospheric conditions that lead to heavy rain or the rapid melting of snow and ice. Geography can also make an area more likely to flood. For example, areas near rivers and cities are often at risk for flash floods. A flood is an overflow of water onto land that is normally dry. River flooding can happen when there is debris in the river or dams that block the flow of the water. Speaking of dams, broken dams are another cause of flooding. Older infrastructure can fail when heavy rains come and water levels rise.
