What could be 10 facts about Australias natural hazard fires​

I’m assuming you’re not talking about their typical fire season, but rather the recent outbreak. I’ll list some facts about the current situation, but if you’re actually asking about what’s normal, just let me know and I’ll correct my list.

1. So far, twenty four people have been charged with assisting the spread of the fire.

2. Although fire seasons are typical in Australia, this years has been far more intense, and actually started earlier than usual. Scientists believe this to be due to climate change.

3. Last year, scientists actually warned the people that future years fire seasons (This years!) would be more intense than what they’ve seen before. Their prime minister ignored this warning.

4. So far, 26 people have died in the fires.

5. An estimated 1 billion animals have died at the hand of the fire so far.


6. It’s thought that the fires are caused by a prolonged drought (in addition to climate change.)

7. In December, the smoke in Sydney was calculated to be about 11 times the hazardous amount.

8. Strong winds are helping the fire spread rapidly.

9. Imagine Central Park. Now, imagine 21,309 Central Parks all lined up next to each other. That’s about the amount of land that has been burnt so far.

10. Prime Minister Scott Morrison offers to pay up to 6k to those who volunteer to work more than 10 days fighting fires.

PLZ HURY ON A TIMER Which statements explain what happens at deep-ocean trenches? Check all that apply.
Marat540 [252]
The answer are: mountains are formed, crust become molten rock and denser plates slides under lighter plates.

Let's look into the options one by one:

Crust is formed.

-This is in correct.

-At the ocean trench, plates subducts and were destroyed. No process of construction occurs as it is located at a destructive plate boundary.

Mountains are formed.

- This is correct.

- As it is located in the destructive plate bondary, two plates collide and create compressional force. The lighter continential will be compressed and foldes up to form fold mountains. One of the examples is the Rocky Mountain.

Seafloor spreading occurs.

-This is incorrect.

- Seafloor spreading occurs at constructive plate boundaries, however ocean trench occurs at destructive plate boudary and thus seafloor spreading does not take place.

Crust becomes molten rock.

- This is correct.

- When ocean trench is formed, denser oceanic plate subducts under the less dense continental plate and meets the hot magma. The crust material will then melt under high temperature and become molten rock.

Denser plates slide under lighter plates.

- This is correct.

- At deep ocean trenches, denser oceanic plate slide under the lighter continential plate as it is located the destructive plate boundary.

It might not be on time, but I hope it helps explain the question. :)
