Answer:
Measure that combat landslides are given as under:
Explanation:
1. Tree belt plantation
2. Controlling of overirrigation and overgrazing of soils.
3. introduction of the metallic elements which increase the shear strength.
4. The creation of a proper drainage pathway.
5. Use of thermal treatment on potentially unstable hillsides.
A, B, and C are coplanar. D is not coplanar with A, B, and C because D is located outside the plane, while A, B, and C are located inside the plane. Hope it helps... Have a great day!
A. 500,000 indigenous people living in Brazil.
Answer:
plate boundaries
Explanation:
Volcanoes and earthquakes are most likely to form along plate boundaries.
Earthquakes:
An earthquake is generated when two plates move relative to each other. The earthquake itself, is the movement felt on the surface caused by the movement of the tectonic plates at their boundaries. There are a few different types of plate boundaries, NOAA does a great job giving a brief description of each here:

Answer:
Correct answer is: Due to interaction between Pacific and North American plate.
Explanation:
Mountain Redoubt is located in south Alaska. Mentioned mountain is in the vicinity of convergent plate boundary between North American and Pacific plate.
Convergent boundary means that those plates are <em>colliding</em>. One plate always slides beneath another, and in this case Pacific plate slides beneath North American. Area of collision is known as subduction zone.
Pacific plate is oceanic plate, and North American is continental plate. Oceanic plates <u>always slides</u> beneath continental ones. Reason for that is due to their density. Oceanic plates are denser, so they go under continental ones.
Pacific and North American plate interaction is typicall oceanic-continetal boundary where <em>earthquakes</em> (seismic activity) and <em>active volcanoes</em> are common. Some of the strongest earthquakes happened in this area. That was in 1964 in Prince William Sound in the south coast of Alaska. Magnitude was 9.2M, second strongest quake ever recorded in world's history.
