The answer is - B. It includes the northern edge of Alaska.


The Pacific Ring of Fire is an uninterrupted chain of volcanoes, intense seismic activity, earthquakes... It is a result of the plate tectonics. In here we have the Pacific tectonic plate surrounded multiple other tectonic plates like the Eurasian, North American, South American, Australian, and also some smaller ones like the Nazca tectonic plate. All of the tectonic plates that are bordering the Pacific plate are continental tectonic plates and have denser crust, which causes submergence of the Pacific plate on all sides. This submergence causes intense seismic activities, most of the active volcanoes in the world are located along the borders of the plates, and this is all 'complimented' with earthquakes on a daily base, also the deepest point of the ocean is located along the western border of the Pacific plate because of the submergence below the Eurasian plate.

Answer:

Air rises at the equator, leading to low pressure and rainfall. Global atmospheric circulation creates winds across the planet and leads to areas of high rainfall, like the tropical rainforests, and areas of dry air, like deserts. And for the hazards, Physical removal of the hazard is the most effective hazard control. For example, if employees must work high above the ground, the hazard can be eliminated by moving the piece they are working on to ground level to eliminate the need to work at heights.

FrozenT [24]

Answer:

A. cool climates compared to climates further inland.

Explanation:

As water can resist temperature changes due to the bonding of relatively hydrogen bonds that breaks giving rise to relatively average temperature. Large bodies of water such te oceans and lakes and seas affect the climate of areas as water absorbs latent heat and keeps climate in ranges.

As the weather is modified by earth's rotation, mountains oceans and currents as the warm air rises and the cold air descend and thus moves from west to east in the direction of rotation motion when moving away from the equator.
