What is the Amount of mass in a given volume it determines which plate will subduct at convergent boundaries?
At convergent boundaries, the amount of mass in a given volume, known as density, determines which tectonic plate will subduct. Typically, oceanic plates are denser than continental plates, so when they converge, the denser oceanic plate sinks beneath the lighter continental plate. This process is influenced by factors such as temperature, composition, and the age of the plates, with older oceanic crust generally being denser and more likely to subduct.

What is the effect of plate movement at a divergent boundary?
The effect of subduction at the boundary of two plates is the movement of one tectonic plate under another tectonic plate. This creates a subduction zone, which often occurs in convergent boundaries.
What type of plate boundary has the highest amount of heat flow?
Mid-ocean ridges, which are divergent plate boundaries, typically exhibit the highest amount of heat flow. At these boundaries, tectonic plates are pulling apart, allowing magma to rise from the mantle and create new oceanic crust. This upwelling of hot material results in elevated geothermal gradients and increased heat flow compared to other types of plate boundaries. In contrast, convergent and transform boundaries generally have lower heat flow due to different geological processes at play.

How are earthquakes formed at plate boundaries?
Earthquakes can occur at all types of plate boundaries, however the larger earthquakes tend to occur at transform and convergent boundaries. At these plate boundaries, one plate gets pushed under or into (convergent) or past (transform) the other. As this happens the two plates can become locked in place due to friction. This causes deformation of the rockmass around the boundary as the plates continue trying to move. As the stress builds up and the amount of deformation increases, the amount of energy stored in the rocks also increases (this is a lot like a compressed spring). Ultimately the stress will get so large it will exceed the frictional resistance and shear strength of the rock at the plate boundary causing a sudden movement. This allows all the energy to escape in one go in the form of seismic waves causing an earthquake.
Why does the Earth's size remains the same despite of what is happening at the mid-oceanic ridge?
An equal amount of oceanic crust is being subducted at the convergent plate boundaries as is being created at the mid-oceanic ridge.

What determines which plants to grow?
The amount of precipitation determines which plants to grow where.
