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.

Which of the following are human modifications of natural distribution patterns within biomes (select all that apply)? A. Artifi
Leya [2.2K]

ANSWER IS:

A. Artificial translocation of organisms

B. Physical removal of organisms

D. Habitation modification

EXPLANATION:

Natural distributions of biomes are often  severely modified by human activities through  physical removal, habitat modification and  artificial translocation of organisms.

Humans can alter natural distribution patterns astonishingly quickly

Artificial translocation of organisms :

It leads to introduction of exotic species that have an effect on crops and pets

Physical removal of organisms :

Physically organisms are removed by modification of landscape for civilization. It effects overall distribution patterns.

Habitat modification :

Habitat is the natural environment where an organism lives. Human activities are responsible for the alterations in the habitat of many organisms that leads to their extinction.

For example, because of tropical rain forest removal it leads to loss of 27 million acres of rain forest per year.

Ecosystem can also effects from rain forest removal. Biodiversity lost through extinction.

Can hydrogen Bonds form among hydrogen chloride molecules? Why?​
Kay [80]

Explanation:

<h3>Despite its electronegativity, size of a chlorine atom is larger and hence, the electron density is low. So, HCl does not have hydrogen bonding but, HF,NH3,H2O shows hydrogen bonding.The hydrogen bond does not form because the chlorine atom is too large. Despite chlorine's high electronegativity its big size lowers the negative charge density and it is not enough to attract a hydrogen atom in a stable phase. Nevertheless, there is a small dipole-dipole attraction between adjacent HCL molecules.</h3>
