Earth's outer surface is made up of approximately 20 tectonic plates, which are massive sections of Earth's crust that fit together roughly and meet plate boundaries.

Plate boundaries are significant because earthquakes and volcanoes are frequently linked to them. When the tectonic plates of the Earth collide, enormous amounts of energy can be released as earthquakes.

Because magma, or molten rock, from deep under the Earth can move upward at these plate intersections, volcanoes are typically found close to plate boundaries. There are numerous types of plate boundaries.

For instance, portions of Earth's crust can slide past one another, come together and smash (convergent plate border), or spread apart (divergent plate boundary). Different geological features are connected to each of these types of plate boundaries.

The denser oceanic plate sinks beneath the less dense plate when the oceanic and continental crust collides. In oceanic trenches, the process known as subduction takes place.

A volcano rises above the water's surface to form an island volcano after building up on the ocean floor for millions of years. Typically, these volcanoes are arranged in groups known as island arcs.

The Marianas and the Aleutian Islands are examples of island arcs, and the trenches hold the key to understanding how they formed and why they frequently experience powerful earthquakes.

The descending plate or the underlying oceanic lithosphere can partially melt to produce the magmas that form island arcs. As the two plates interact and frequently produce moderate to strong earthquakes, the descending plate serves as another source of stress.

Acorns are appealing to deer because of their size, abundance, and nutritional content.

In the summer, deer switch to consuming fruit and nuts. In the fall, nature starts producing nourishing acorns that deer adore.

Acorns can be found between September and March, depending on the type of oak, and they provide food for deer for the rest of winter. Acorns are not only rich in nutrients and are healthy, but they are also high in protein, carbohydrates, lipids, vitamins, and minerals like calcium, phosphorus, and potassium.

Not every acorn is created equally. Compared to red and black oak species, white oak species have lower tannic acid concentrations.
