1. A scientific law is a statement of fact that describes an action or set of actions. Laws are accepted as fact because they are always observed to be true.
Examples of scientific laws are Newton's laws of motion. These laws describe
the motion of moving objects.
a) Give an example of a scientific law you have studied or heard of. (Think about
what happens when an apple falls from a tree.) (2 points)

Subduction zones form when an oceanic plate collides with another oceanic plate or continental plate. the continental crust is lighter and less dense than oceanic crust. continental crust's density is approximately 2.7 grams per cubic centimeter. oceanic crust is thinner and the average density is about 3.3 cubic centimeters. when the two crustal plates converge the oceanic plate always bends and subducts beneath a continental plate. once the oceanic crust subjects, the rocks are subjected to changes in heat and pressure. because of this, we would expect to find rocks in the area of a subduction. a) clastic b) igneous c) metamorphic d) sedimentary
