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.

Identify the true statement. Choose one:
steposvetlana [31]

Answer:

Option (C)

Explanation:

The outer core of the earth is liquid in nature, where they are comprised of dense molten rocks, which flows continuously due to the heat energy radiated from the extreme core of the earth, having a very high temperature. This flow of liquid rocks across the present magnetic field lines of force generates an electric current which subsequently produces the magnetic field. This process of producing magnetic fields is commonly termed as advection.

Thus, the correct answer is option (C).

Assuming that the long term rate of displacement along the San Andreas Fault (about 3.5 cm/year) remains the same and that the l
Kisachek [45]

Answer:

17.71 years

Explanation:

  • As the crust of the San Andrea is continuously moving due to the tectonic activity and is the main manifest of the tectonic boundary of the North America and the pacific plate. This fault along with the pacific plate will move towards the Los angles and eastern San Francisco as it moves about 3.5 cm per year.
  • As  1 km equals to about 100 000 cm , then the distance of 620 km =  62, 000,000 cm  and 62,000,000 will be divided by 3.5 equal to  17. 71 years to collide with the eastern side.

In a paragraph of 125 words, discuss the relationship between history and geography in the Baltic nations.
Ostrovityanka [42]

Answer:

Much of the relationship with the history and the geography in the Baltic States is very similar to that of the rest of Europe. The States fought with each other in attempts to gain land and resources for the ruler to have power. If you look up the history of the Balkans, you will find that it will be a shorter version, with less names of both people and other countries, of the history of Europe, of which still continue today.

Or you could say...

The Baltic nations went through a lot of history and geography just like the other Eastern. They have gained and lost land and resources. They have fought in wars and have been unfair to other states.

i have no idea if thats either 125 but i hope it helps <3 ;)
