Answer:

Option (A)

Explanation:

In terms of geology, an accretionary wedge is usually defined as the accumulation of sediments that are formed from the scraping of the subducting oceanic crust during the time of the collision. These sediments are deposited in association with the ocean floor sediments and it marks the presence of a convergent plate boundary. This takes the shape of a prism which is found at the edge of the continental plate boundary.

Thus, the correct answer is option (A).

Which of the following statements is true about a light year?
Afina-wow [57]
<h2>Right answer: It is used to measure long distances in space</h2>

A light year (ly) is a distance unit that is approximately 9.46×{10}^{12}km.

By definition it is <em>the distance that a photon would travel in vacuum during a Julian year (365.25 days) at the speed of light (299 792 458 m/s) at an infinite distance from any gravitational field or field magnetic. </em>

<em> </em>

In other words:

It is the distance that light can travel in a year.

This unit is used to measure large distances in space. Therefore the correct answer is D.

How was the Arizona-Sonoran region developed a separate identity that is neither American nor Mexican?
Valentin [98]

Answer:

Arizona and Sonora share the same ecosystem, the Sonoran Desert region. They share common history, several Native American tribes on both sides of the border, and they have six border twin towns. The natural boundary is 361 miles long and it has never been a totally closed border. Arizona needed Sonora's miners and ranchers and they have been the biggest source of migrants to the USA.

Because of the constant flow of people across the border, the Arizona-Sonora region developed its own separate identity. Many people living there are bilingual and commute daily to the other side of the border for work. Their value system has been affected by the proximity of a different culture. As a result of that, intercultural and interracial mixing took place that created a generation of people who feel a connection to both countries at the same time. Prejudices have been reduced and stereotypes abolished.

The interdependence between the USA and Mexico has always been and still is business related. Starting with vegetables trading, the cross border shopping and manufacturing developed into big industry today. A major economy connection has developed through the maquiladora sector. Arizona based companies operate about 30% of maquiladoras in Sonora and Sonora's economy is dependent on this and the automobile industry in Arizona.

Cross-border shopping, tourism ( for pleasure and medical reasons), joined environmental projects, bilingual schools and cultural events are all parts of the interdependence between the two countries.
