If two cont. crusts collide then you get a collision zone. If cont. crust collides with oceanic crust then you get a subduction zone.

How does porosity affect infiltration?
Porosity affects infiltration because it determines the speed of the infiltration whether it will be fast or not
What determines the grain shape of a rock such as conglomerate?
The mineral composition of the conglomerate determines the grain shape as well the the type of weathering or erosive elements (wind, water, chemicals) that the rock is is exposed to because grain shape is heavily dependent upon whether the rock has been subjected to erosion or not.
What determines whether an object is a net absorber or a net emitter of radiant energy at a given time?
All substances above absolute zero emit radiant energy. Whether the object emits more than it absorbs depends on its temperature compared to the temperature of its surroundings. An object warmer than its surroundings will usually be a net emitter.
What is a subduction zone and how can you identify whether you live near one?
A subduction zone is the area where an oceanic plate is being pushed downward in a collision with a continental plate. There is usually an offshore trench and several inland volcanos whose eruptions are of the explosive type (due to trapped water in the lava). Another form of subduction zone produces island arcs containing volcanos instead of producing inland volcanos.
What determines whether it will float in water?
Whether your foot is on it or not.
What is the momentum of marbles after collision?
Same as before the collision. This applies whether the collision was elastic (no loss of kinetic energy) or inelastic (some kinetic energy lost).
What determines whether there will be a high or low tide?
The moon determines if there will be high or low tides.
