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. Consider this image of a typical subduction zone. Where would you expect intrusive igneous rocks to form?

Suppose water is leaking from a tank through a circular hole of area ah at its bottom. when water leaks through a hole, friction and contraction of the stream near the hole reduce the volume of water leaving the tank per second to cah 2gh , where c (0 < c < 1) is an empirical constant. a tank in the form of a right-circular cone standing on end, vertex down, is leaking water through a circular hole in its bottom. (assume the removed apex of the cone is of negligible height and volume.) (a) suppose the tank is 20 feet high and has radius 8 feet and the circular hole has radius 2 inches. the differential equation governing the height h in feet of water leaking from a tank after t seconds is dh dt = − 5 6h3/2 . if the height of the water is initially 8 feet, how long will it take the tank to empty? (round your answer to two decimal places.)
