Well ok here goes 
Tectonic plates

Tectonic plates are segments of the Earth's lithosphere, the hard rocky outer shell composed of the crust and the uppermost mantle. This shell is divided by lines of faults, ridges of plate creation, and zones of plate destruction. All in all, there are roughly 30 tectonic plates which cover the entire surface of the planet. 

The movement of the plates is caused by the convection currents of heat from the Earth's interior.This Mostly occurs in the middle of the ocean, This heat rising toward the surface through the mantle causes s volcano to form in the middle of the Ocean. when all the Lava/Molten finishes the magma then cools and life starts to form on the volcano and thats how islands are created.

STatiana [176]

Chris's city is in a wet tropical climate.

High amount of precipitation, and warm humid climate is typical for the regions around the Equator, thus the climate in which Chris's city is located seems to belong to a tropical wet climate type, somewhere around the Equator.

Mark's city is in a cold desert climate.

The big variation of temperatures, with having hot summers and cold winters, as well as extremely low amount of precipitation, are typical for the cold deserts that are mostly dispersed in Asia, thus the city in which Mark lives will belong to a cold desert climate.
