Suppose a country uses a majority system for elections, and the next election leads to the following results: Candidate A gets 45% of the vote, Candidate B gets 35% of the vote and Candidate C gets 20% of the vote.  Under a majority system, what happens next?

3a.  Seismology  The diagrams below show cross sectional views of seismic tomographic images obtained at three different subduction zones (cross-sectional lines at the top of the tomographic images [for example A-A’] relate to the locations in the underlying geography map).  Answer the questions located below the location map. (a) [2pts] The dashed lines in the tomographic images highlight the edges of subducting oceanic plates (shown in Blue).  What properties of the ocean lithosphere might lead seismologists to interpret these blue regions in the asthenosphere as subducting plates. (b) [8 pts] Along the A-A’, B-B’, and D-D’ lines, which directions (N, S, W, E, NE, NW, SE, or SW) are the subducting plates dipping. Write the correct dip direction for A-A’, B-B’ and C’C’.
