Hello!
As you know, the Ring of Fire is a string of active and dormant volanic sites and seismic activity stretching from the Americas to Asia and down to Australia in the Pacific Ocean. This area has around 450 volcanoes (if not more) and is full of many trenches, which are deep and narrow excavations.
In this case the most likely cause of volanic activity in the area is best said to be b. The movemenet of mantle rock through the cracks between tectonic plates
These movements are also the same reason that explains the earthquakes that primarily occur in this region.
Hope this helps and if you need anymore clarifaction feel free to ask.
Answer:
Movements along faults can make it harder for geologists to determine the relative ages of rock layers.
Explanation:
The absolute age of a sample is its age in years. This method of determining absolute age is called radiometric dating, and it involves the decay, or breakdown, of radioactive elements. Using radiometric dating, scientists can determine the actual age of a rock.
The correct answer is - hot and dry.
The CT air masses are air masses that originate from deep inside the land masses in the tropical regions of the Earth. The ''C'' actually stands for continental, thus indicating the formation of the air mass over a land mass, while the ''T'' stands for tropical, thus indicating the tropical region of where the land mass over which this air mass forms.
Because these air masses form over land in the tropics, they are hot and dry. The hot and dry characteristics come from the bigger heating of the land masses, as well as the lack of water vapor over the land masses.
