Oceanic-oceanic plate convergence also results in the formation of undersea volcanoes. Over millions of years, however, the erupted lava and volcanic debris pile up on the ocean floor until a submarine volcano rises above sea level to form an island volcano.est Answer: When two oceanic plates converge one is usually subducted under the other and in the process a deep oceanic trench is formed.
Significant Figures is important in scientific calculations because it deals with a problem of measurements. Without significant figures, it is difficult for some scientist to â¦ calculate very large and small measurements.
Example: 101.1203 has seven significant figures: 1, 0, 1, 1, 2, 0 and 3; Leading zeros are not significant. For example, 0.00052 has two significant figures: 5 and 2. Trailing zeros in a number containing a decimal point are significant. For example, 12.2300 has six significant figures: 1, 2, 2, 3, 0 and 0. The number 0.000122300 still has only six significant figures (the zeros before the 1 are not significant). In addition, 120.00 has five significant figures since it has three trailing zeros. This convention clarifies the precision of such numbers; for example, if a measurement precise to four decimal places (0.0001) is given as 12.23 then it might be understood that only two decimal places of precision are available.
