Base your answer on the passage below and on your knowledge of Earth science. Island ArcsIsland arcs are long, curved chains of oceanic islands associated with seismic activity and mountain-building processes at certain plate boundaries. They occur where oceanic tectonic plates collide. Along one side of these island arcs, there is usually a long, narrow deep-sea trench. At island arcs, the denser plate is subducted and is forced into the partially molten mantle under the less dense plate. The islands are composed of the extrusive igneous rocks basalt and andesite. The basalt originates most likely from the plastic mantle. The andesite originates most likely from the melting of parts of the descending plate and sediments that had accumulated on its surface. Which list identifies minerals present in andesite from the greatest percentage by volume to the least percentage by volume?

The hypothetical island country of gilder lies in the mediterranean sea off the coast of france. demographers have studied gilder for the past 50 years. at the beginning of the study, gilder had a population of 20 million. the demographers have measured birth and death numbers, as well as immigration and emigration numbers, as shown in the data table. from the data, calculate the population of gilder for each 10-year period by filling in the population (no) and population (nt) columns in the data table. use this formula to do your calculations: population size: nt = no + (b + i) – (d + e)initial population = 20,000,000
