What is usually found at an active margin but NOT at a passive margin?
Active and passive margins describe the various characteristics of continental margins that are a result of plate tectonics. An active margin usually has numerous volcanoes and mountains, while a passive margin typically do not have these formations.
What are active and passive systems?
Active systems have a much longer range than passive systems due to having an internal battery. Because of this an active tag will be much larger and more expensive than a passive tag. The passive tag will basically convert the RF signal from the Interrogator or reader and turn it into energy to return the signal. Active tags will often be found on larger sized shipping containers/products whereas a passive tag, due to its small form factor can be used on any variety of products, containers, boxes...etc. Passive tags are usually more durable than active tags. While some active tag batteries have a lifetime of 10 years, depending on the frequency of use, passive tags do not have the handicap of internal power requirements. Depending on the harshness of the environment, an industrial grade passive Read-Only tag can last longer than your average person.
Are the plate boundaries the same as the edges of continents?
No. Not all plate boundaries are at the edges of continents, nor do all edges of continents correspond with plate boundaries. Many plate boundaries are found in the middle of oceans, while the continent of Africa is being torn apart by a developing plate boundary. Some edges of continents, such as the west coast of South America are near plate boundaries. These are called active continental margins. Others, such as the east coast of North America, are nowhere near plate boundaries. These are called passive continental margins.

What are 2 differences about the cotineantal and oceanic crust?
1. Continental crust is thick while Oceanic crust is relatively thinner. 2. Continental crust is lighter while Oceanic crust is relatively denser.

What are passive and active transport?
Passive transport and active transport are transport of materials across membranes. Passive requires no energy, while active does.
How does active transport differ from passive transport-?
Active transport requires energy while passive transport does not.
Why active filters so called even though uses passive resistors?
It has to have resistors but an active filter will alsol have an active device, usually an op-amp, while a passive filter has only passive components and needs no power supply.
The different between passive transport and active transport?
Active transport requires energy; passive transport does not.
Difference between active and passive smoking?
Active smoking is the direct inhalation of smoke by an intended smoker while passive smoking is second hand smoking. This is a situation where smoke is inhaled (from the environment) by non intended smokers. Active and passive smoking are both harmful to the body.
Are Transitive active and transitive passive sentences both have a receiver of the action?
Yes, both transitive active and passive verbs have a subject or object as the action receiver. The only difference is that transitive passive has a subject receiving action while the transitive active has an object receiving action.
How are active and passive differ from from each other?
The most basic difference between active and passive transport is that active requires energy while passive does not. You would require active transport if the substance is going against the concentration of molecules inside and outside of the membrane or if the substance is particularly large. Passive is more for smaller molecules that go with the concentration of the molecules inside and outside of the membrane.
What is the main difference between active trasport and passive transport?
Active transport requires energy (ATP, GTP, etc) to work against the electrochemical gradient. Passive transport works with the electrochemical gradient and does not require energy. (Think diffusion)

Is this active or passive You listen to the top ten on the radio while cleaning your closet?
Passive... your initial activity is the cleaning - the fact that the radio is playing is incidental.
What is the difference between active and passive resistance?
Active resistance involves taking direct action to oppose or obstruct a certain force or authority, often through physical or vocal means. Passive resistance, on the other hand, involves nonviolent tactics such as noncooperation or civil disobedience to resist without using physical force.
