Hotspot in geology is the surface manifestation of a plume that rises from deep in the celestial body's mantle.
Divergent margins also known as rift zones, shield volcanoes tend to form as two oceanic plates pull slowly apart and magma effuses upward through the gap.
The sites based on history that has volcanism related to a hot spot or divergent margin are Hawaii and the mid-ocean ridge. Hawaiian volcanoes within the Pacific Plate are caused by anomalous volcanism.
Answer:
If the contour lines are close together it means that the change in elevation is very steep.
Explanation:
A is not correct because if the topography is almost flat, the contour lines would be very far apart.
B is correct because the closer the contour lines are, the steeper the topography is, meaning that the terrain is very steep.
C is not correct because if the elevation is not changing, the contour lines will be missing from that part of the map.
Stalactites hang from the ceiling of a cave while stalagmites grow from the cave floor.
Answer: The following event shows an effect of human-led climate change in a tropical climate zone:
Higher temperatures cause drier conditions in the Amazon rain forest.
Explanation: The mean rise in the global temperature has directly resulted in the growing prevalence of loss of vegetation. This has, in turn, affected the average precipitation levels in the Amazon rain forest. Decreasing rains in the region have decreased the availability of the water making in reach negatives and it is thus intensifying drier conditions.
