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.

One cause for plate motion is plate pull. which of the following best describes plate pull
Stella [2.4K]

Answer:

C. When the oceanic lithosphere, which is more dense, sinks and pulls the plate with it

Explanation:

Slab pull and other mechanisms are responsible for the motion of plates. Every tectonic plate is driven by mantle convection.

  • Convection is a form of heat transfer in fluids.
  • It is as a result of differences in density and temperature values.
  • The oceanic crust is denser and colder.
  • As hot magma from deep within the subsurface rises and move through cracks, the oceanic lithosphere is drawn down and deeper.
  • This cycling between the cold lithosphere and hot rising plumes provides the mechanism that drives plate motion.

World oil reserves amount to about 10,000 EJ, and humankind uses energy at the rate of roughly 18 TW. If all our energy came fro
Volgvan

Answer:

t=17.61 years.

Explanation:

Given that

Reserve of energy = 10,000 EJ

Energy used by human = 18 TW

We know that

1\ E= 10^{18}

1\ T= 10^{12}

So

Reserve\ of\ energy = 10,000 \times10^{18} J

Reserve\ of\ energy = 10^{22} J

Energy\ used\ by\ human = 18 \times10^{12}\ W

Lets t time after energy will be  exhaust

So

18 \times10^{12}\times t=10^{22}

t=\dfrac{10^{22}}{18 \times10^{12}}\ s

t=5.55\times 10^8 \ s

We know that

1 year = 365 days

1 year = 365 x 24 hr

1 year = 365 x 24 x 3600 s

1year =3.15\times 10^7\ s

So

t=\dfrac{5.55\times 10^8 }{3.15\times 10^7}

t=17.61 years.
