Which statement correctly explains what is happening? oceanic and continental plates are colliding. oceanic and continental plates are shifting past each other. oceanic and continental plates are forming a large mountain. oceanic and continental plates are creating several island chains.

Oceanic and continental plates are colliding.

Explanation:

The collision of the ocean and continental plates makes the oceanic plates denser by overriding them by thicker and less thick continental plates. The ocean plates are forced to move down to the mantle through a seduction process. The melting, therefore, produces magma above the sub ducting ocean plates.

The magma chambers are usually not concentrated like the mantle material within the surrounding. The depth and size of the magma can be determined by mapping the earthquake activities happening around.

d. stage 4

explanation:

the existence of some kind of demographic transition is widely accepted in the social sciences because of the well-established historical correlation linking dropping fertility to social and economic development.[1] scholars debate whether industrialization and higher incomes lead to lower population, or whether lower populations lead to industrialization and higher incomes. scholars also debate to what extent various proposed and sometimes inter-related factors such as higher per capita income,lower mortality, old-age security, and rise of demand for human capital are involved.[2]
