One of the themes of “On Another’s Sorrow” is that people are compassionate when they see others who are sorrowful.

Which pair of lines best supports this theme?


"And not sit beside the nest / Pouring pity in their breast;"

"He becomes a man of woe; / He doth feel the sorrow too."

"Think not, thou canst weep a tear / And thy maker is not near."

"Can I see a falling tear, / And not feel my sorrows share?" please hurry i need this correct and in like 3 minutes

Answers

Answer:

D. Can I see a falling tear, / And not feel my sorrows share?"

Explanation:

"On Another's Sorrow" is a poem by William Blake.

First three stanzas are composed of set of questions dealing with compassion and ability to empathize with others. Questions can be summed up to one: "How can one not share another's sadness and sorrow?".

So, when the author says "falling tear" he obviously refers to someone crying and expresses the human need to comfort that person, share the sorrow with him, make him feel better.

how do plates with less density react to a Convergent push from an Earthquake?

Answers

Answer:

Plate Boundaries: Divergent, Convergent, and Transform

Most seismic activity occurs in the narrow zones between plates.

June 2nd, 2:17 PM

Movement in narrow zones along plate boundaries causes most earthquakes. Most seismic activity occurs at three types of plate boundaries—divergent, convergent, and transform.

As the plates move past each other, they sometimes get caught and pressure builds up. When the plates finally give and slip due to the increased pressure, energy is released as seismic waves, causing the ground to shake. This is an earthquake.

Some of the plates have ocean water above them. Other plates include continents, and some plates include both continents and ocean. The movements of the plates help shape the geological features of our planet. The three main types of plate movements include:

Divergent (Spreading):This is where two plates move away from each other. Molten rock from the mantle erupts along the opening, forming new crust. The earthquakes that occur along these zones, called spreading centers, are relatively small. The Great Rift Valley in Africa, the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden all formed as a result of divergent plate motion.

Convergent (Colliding): This occurs when plates move towards each other and collide. When a continental plate meets an oceanic plate, the thinner, denser, and more flexible oceanic plate sinks beneath the thicker, more rigid continental plate. This is called subduction. Subduction causes deep ocean trenches to form, such as the one along the west coast of South America. The rocks pulled down under the continent begin to melt. Sometimes the molten rock rises to the surface, through the continent, forming a line of volcanoes. About 80% of earthquakes occur where plates are pushed together, called convergent boundaries.

Another form of convergent boundary is a collision where two continental plates meet head-on. Since neither plate is stronger than the other, they crumple and are pushed up. This can lead to the formation of huge, high mountain ranges such as the Himalayas.

When two tectonic plates slide past each other, the place where they meet is a transform or lateral fault. The San Andreas Fault is one of the best examples of lateral plate motion.
