Are an oceanic plate colliding with a continental plate to form the sierra Nevada mountain range?

An oceanic plate colliding with a continental plate formed the Sierra Nevada. That collision is no longer happening, though, as that oceanic plate. the Farallon Plate, is mostly gone, with remnants to the north and south.


What are the factors affecting primary productivity of the marine environment?

Available nutrients are usually limiting factors. This includes the usual elements like Nitrogen and Phosphorous to name a few; there are many others nutrients required as well.There are other abiotic (maybe less obvious) factors that affect primary production in marine environments:-turbulence and critical depth-light-biosphere production-pollution (note: this is not typically considered to have a large influence, though I still find it worth mentioning :p)There are biotic factors that influence primary production as well, just on a small scale in the grand scheme of things.


What boundary is it called when an oceanic plate descends beneath a continental plate?

It's called destructive plate margin/boundary, or convergent plate margin though this term applies to all plate margins where two plates are moving towards each other (such as continental + continental or oceanic + oceanic).


What is the difference between oceanic crust and oceanic lithosphere?

Geologists and geophysicists split the Earth up into different layers. They do this based on various properties.One system is dependent on the composition of the material (i.e. it's chemistry). If you use this system, then the Earth is split broadly into the crust, upper and lower mantle and the outer and inner core.Another system is based on the mechanical properties of the Earth (e.g. how it responds to stress). In this system, the Earth is split into the lithosphere, asthenosphere, mesosphere and outer and inner core.The oceanic crust is composed of mafic (magnesium and iron rich rocks) such as basalt and gabbro that have formed from the partial melting of the material that forms the upper mantle. As such they have differing chemical properties and so are classed as differing layers.The lithosphere is that portion of the Earth which responds to stress in a brittle manner. It is formed of the crust AND the upper mantle as they both meet the criteria for failing in a brittle manner (and so have the same mechanical properties) even though they have differing compositions. As such they are described as a single mechanical layer, even though they are part of different compositional layers.


What factors can you control that would slow down reproduction of bacteria?

If you change the temperature around the bacteria, I believe that it can slow down their reproduction because when they are in the right temperature, they reproduce at their fastest rate. If they are not in the right temperature, they will not reproduce as fast. Even though you migt not need to know this..............BIEBER FEVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What are pluton's and how are they classified?

Plutons are intrusive igneous rock bodies, formed though mountain-building processed and oceanic-oceanic collisions.They are classified by their size, shape, and relation to the surrounding rock.Hello Trevor. XD


Why is water not considered as a nutrient?

Water is not considered a nutrient even though it contains nutrients because it is considered a transporter of nutrients. It transports the nutrients throughout the body.

Can you take thyroid Medicine with supplements and other pain killer medicine at the same time?

Taking supplements naturally messes with your thyroid levels, so no, you shouldn't take them while trying to correct your levels. The pain killers shouldn't harm your thyroid levels though, depends on the pain killer though.
