The correct answer is - d. shield volcanoes.

The Hawaiian volcanoes are volcanoes that fall into the category of the shield volcanoes. They are slightly dome shaped volcanoes, spread out over a very large area, are not steep, and are volcanoes that tend to not have explosive eruptions as their magma is usually high in silica content.

The volcanoes on Hawaii are volcanoes that have formed over a hot spot, which means that they are not formed at the boundary of the tectonic plates, but instead, they are formed in the middle of the plate.

Mauna Loa and Mauna Kea are actually the biggest volcanoes in the world in the present day.

Which characteristics describe deep ocean currents? Check all that apply.
AnnZ [28]

Answer:

Options (1), (3), (4) and (5)

Explanation:

The deep ocean water refers to the water that is present at the bottom of the ocean. This deep water is highly dense, and are rich in essential nutrients including oxygen. Sunlight cannot penetrate into the deeper layer, as a result of which these water remains much colder and moves at a much slower rate in comparison to the surface waves. These deep ocean currents are generated by the density differences due to two factors namely, temperature and salinity.

These currents are moved from the equatorial region to the poles and again comes back from the poles to the equator, forming a circular pattern. This circulation of water is responsible for the various climatic conditions that occur at different places.

Thus, the correct answers are mentioned above.

The force that drives earthquake activity is _____. magnetic force kinetic energy potential energy plate tectonics
larisa86 [58]
<span>The correct answer is plate tectonics. The outermost shell of Earth, called the lithosphere, is partitioned into different tectonic plates (7 or 8 major ones). When a plate breaks along what are called faults, there is a release of energy, which causes seismic waves (the ground shaking). This shaking then causes several plates to rub against each other, and when they break, the earthquake results.</span>
