Answer:
b) the Pacific plate has carried the volcanoes away from the hot spot that formed them
Explanation:
The Hawaiian islands all have volcanic origin. Some are not active, while some still are. All of these islands have been active volcanoes at one point of time, and they have been created by a hot spot that lies beneath the Pacific plate. The hot spot has such a power that it actually manages to break through the central part of the plate where its crust is the strongest and densest. As the magma manages to come out above the water, it manages to create volcanic islands. The Pacific plate though is moving, it is not static, so it drags the volcanic islands away from the hot spot, causing their extinguishing. As those islands are moved away, the hot spot creates new volcanic islands, and the process constantly continuous, resulting in a volcanic island chain.
In Geography, when you mention characteristics, it refers to the actions and the ideas of man that changes or changed the Earth. Characteristics in Geography can also refer to as the natural and current features seen all around the Earth.
Answer:
Solifluction
Explanation:
Solifluction involves the movement of soil particles or other materials which has been exposed to water down a slope. This process is common in areas with water bodies and a steep slope.
A major method by which material gets delivered to the Colorado River in the Grand Canyon is through the solifluction process as a result of the presence of water and steep slope.
