An ocean basin will form in what location, relative to the major tectonic plates?

Ocean basins can form at rift basins where continental crust is pulled apart and subsequently subsides, or at subduction zones where one plate dives beneath another. Ocean basins influence the size and movement of tectonic plates and can close over time, possibly leading to supercontinent formation.

An ocean basin is likely to form at a location where continental crust is being pulled apart due to the process of rift basin formation. As the crust on both sides of the rift subsides, the area initially becomes a narrow sea and, if rifting continues, eventually develops into an ocean basin. The East African rift basin is an example of an early stage in this process. Additionally, other types of basins such as trench basins, forearc basins, and foreland basins are associated with different tectonic settings such as subduction zones and the mass of volcanic ranges.

Ocean basins are relatively young geological features, not exceeding 180 million years in age. The formation of ocean basins can significantly influence the size of oceanic and continental plates, such as the expansion of the Atlantic Ocean due to the mid-Atlantic ridge spreading, which is not counteracted by subduction except in certain regions like the Caribbean. In contrast, the Pacific Ocean is slowly getting smaller because its formation rate is outpaced by subduction processes, such as under North America at the Cascadia Subduction Zone.

Over geological time, as oceanic crust subducts beneath continental crust, ocean basins can close, leading to continental collision and the potential formation of a supercontinent. Known cycles of supercontinent formation and breakup have occurred throughout Earth's history approximately every 500 million years.

What is NOT the purpose of the DSM?

A polling agency is investigating the voter support for a ballot measure in an upcoming city election. The agency will select a random sample of 500 voters from one region, Region A, of the city. Assume that the population proportion of voters who would support the ballot measure in Region A is 0.47.

(a) What is the probability that the proportion of voters in the sample of Region A who support the ballot measure is greater than 0.50 ?

The polling agency will take another sample from a different region, Region B, of the city. The agency plans to select a random sample of 400 voters. Assume that the population proportion of voters who would support the ballot measure in Region B is 0.51.

(b) Describe the sampling distribution of the difference in sample proportions (Region B minus Region A).
(c) What is the probability that the two sample proportions will differ by more than 0.05 ?
