29. the ring of fire is an area along the edge of the pacific ocean with many volcanoes. most of the volcanoes are formed as a result of one tectonic plate sliding underneath another tectonic plate. which of these geologic areas is where rock is recycled by one tectonic plate sliding underneath another tectonic plate?\na) a rift valley b) a strike - slip fault\nc) a subduction zone d) a divergent boundary\n30. felix has lunch and later the same afternoon plays a game of soccer. this is an example of which type of energy transformation?\na) sound energy to chemical energy b) radiant energy to chemical energy\nc) thermal energy to mechanical energy d) chemical energy to mechanical energy\n31. how did charles darwin describe the process of natural selection?\na) individual organisms show how evolution has happened. b) organisms evolve through traits that are passed on by chance.\nc) the environment helps all organisms stay alive so they can reproduce. d) organisms evolve through favorable traits that help them survive to reproduce.

Answer

# Brief Explanations: - For question 29: In a subduction zone, one tectonic plate slides beneath another, recycling rock. A rift valley is formed by divergence, a strike - slip fault is for horizontal sliding, and a divergent boundary is where plates move apart. - For question 30: When Felix has lunch, he takes in chemical energy from food. When he plays soccer, he uses that energy to move, which is mechanical energy. So it's chemical energy to mechanical energy. - For question 31: Darwin described natural selection as organisms evolving through favorable traits that help them survive to reproduce. # Answer: 29. c) a subduction zone 30. d) chemical energy to mechanical energy 31. d) Organisms evolve through favorable traits that help them survive to reproduce.
