ina has been onboard the research vessel Gustavo, off the coast of Chile, for several weeks now. She is measuring the depth of a

very deep trench in the ocean that runs parallel to the coastline. In the distance, she notes a great mountain range on the mainland. Suddenly, she is notified that a submarine earthquake just occurred below the trench, generating a tsunami. As Marina puts on her lifejacket, she recalls the type of plate boundary nearby that led to the trench formation.

The correct answer is - convergent plate boundary.

The western coast of South America is a home to a convergent plate boundary, between the Nazca oceanic tectonic plate and the South American continental tectonic plate.

The Nazca plate is lower and heavier, thus it subducts bellow the higher and lighter South American plate. This subduction is causing a lot of geologic activity in the region, with the Andes Mountain Range being one of the products, as well as the common earthquakes, and the volcanic activity.

Since there's often earthquakes that appear under water, the chances of a tsunami are always high, especially if it is a stronger earthquake, which is why the people living in this part of the continent are always on alert.

10<br>List three uses for natural gas.<br>(3 Points)​
dlinn [17]

Answer:

1) USING GAS IN THE HOME

2) USE IN THE INDUSTRIAL SECTOR

3) TRANSPORTATION

Explanation:

Aside from electricity, the residential sector of society uses natural gas to heat up buildings, water, cook meals, and dry clothing. Pretty much anything that needs to be done in the home or commercial building that involves heat, is able to get done thanks to the production of natural gas.

Antifreeze , Plastics,  Pharmaceuticals,  Fabrics,  Ammonia,  Methanol , Ethane,  Propane

According to studies, vehicles that utilized natural gasses emitted 60-90 percent less smog-producing pollutants and 30-40 percent less in greenhouse gas emissions.  Also, with its production and distribution within the United States, the cost for its use in transportation vehicles is substantially less than the gas that is imported from other nations.

It’s that longer-term trend that differentiates climate change from natural weather variability. Although climate change and global warming are often used interchangeably, global warming is the recent rise in the global average temperature near the earth’s surface is just one aspect of climate change.

The effects of global climate change on earth's climate are as follows:

1. Extreme weather condition

2. Air Pollution

3. Health risks

4. Rising seas

5. More acidic, warmer oceans

6. Imperiled global ecosystem

Explanation:

The effects of global climate change

World Economic Forum’s 2016 Global Risks Report, reported that the failure to mitigate and adapt to climate change will be “the most impactful risk” facing communities worldwide in the coming decade ahead even of weapons of mass destruction and water crises. Blame its cascading effects: As climate change transforms global ecosystems, it affects everything from the places we live to the water we drink to the air we breathe.
