Answer 1
Answer:

Answer:

slab push, volcanic eruptions, and subduction

Explanation:

To understand better, let's consider an example. Make small pieces of paper and put them in a bowl containing water. Then heat the bowl. After sometime, you will see that the pieces are moving. This is because of same phenomenon (convection currents) forming inside the bowl of water. The water will warm move upward whereas colder water will come to its place. Convection currents in Earth are formed due to high temperature of magma (molten rock material) that rises up and colder magma takes its position.

This process results in slab push, volcanic eruptions, and subduction.

Slab pull: Slab pull is the force exerted by plates during subduction. Subduction is a process when a denser plate moves beneath the less denser plate. Thus slab pull is also caused by convenction currents.

Volcanic eruption: During subduction, denser plate moves beneath the less denser plate until it reaches magma. There, the lithosphere destroyes. On a weaker lithosphere zone, the magma moves upward and break the crust thus leading to volcanic eruptions.

Subduction: As mentioned above, during subduction, denser plate moves beneath the less denser plate which is driven by convectin currents.

One function of the immune system is to attack the foreign cells to protect the body. In organ transplants, the body recognizes that the new organ is made of foreign cells. What kind of medicine would you give a patient to increase the chances of transplant success?

Answers

The kind of medicine that is given to increase chances of transplant success is called anti-rejection medicine or immunosuppressant drugs.These are a class of drugs that reduce or suppress the strength of the body's immune system . Their primary function is to lower the body's ability to reject a transplanted organ such as liver, heart or kidney.By weakening the immune system, immunosuppressant drugs decrease the body's reaction to the foreign organ. The drugs allow the transplanted organ to remain healthy and free from damage.

Medicine that makes the immune system less effective.

What are the contour lines on a contour map

Answers

In cartography, a contour line joins points of equal elevation (height) above a given level, such as mean sea level. A contour map is a map illustrated with contour lines, for example atopographic map, which thus shows valleys and hills, and the steepness of slopes.
