The correct answer is - C. volcanoes and earthquakes.

Latin America is a very active place, geologically speaking, and this is due to the multiple tectonic plates that interact in this region, such as the North American, Caribbean, Pacific, Cocos, South American, and Nazca tectonic plates. At the places where there's boundaries between the plates, the pressure, high temperatures, and magma from the mantle layer bellow, manage to rich the surface, and by doing that, they create a lot of unrest on the crust, creating volcanoes and earthquakes along the way.

Tema [17]

Answer:

3. along

Explanation:

If an oceanic trench formed along the East Coast of North America, the deepest earthquakes related to the subduction of the oceanic plate beneath North America would occur along the eastern coastline.

Oceanic trenches results from the convergence of two plates, they are a common site for earthquakes. Since the trench is along the East Coast of Northern America, the earthquake will most likely occur along the Eastern coastline.

How is energy from the sun distributed around earth?
amm1812
There are a few different answers to this question, depending on what you are asking. I'll go over the main ones.

1. The Earth's axis is tilted in comparison to the Sun, so days get shorter in the winter months. This is due to less light, and therefore energy, hitting the Earth directly. Instead, that energy either misses entirely, or hits nearer to the Equator. This is why the poles have twenty-four hour days and nights depending on the season. (Night in the winter, day in the summer.)

2. In terms of the food chain, energy from the sun is converted to basic sugars by plants in a process known as photosynthesis, inside the plant's cloroplasts. Small animals such as mice and insects consume the plants, and the energy those plants converted from sunlight. This continues up the food chain until you get to apex-predators (tigers, bears, wolves, owls, etcetera).

3. In terms of electricity, solar panels are made of tons of 'solar cells' which tend to be lots of silicon atoms, which like to share electrons, and a conductive backing. (Pardon me if some of this section is incorrect, I only have a basic understanding of solar panels) When a photon (that is, a light particle) hits the silicon, it bumps off an electron, and the conductive backing catches it, resulting in a electrical current. This current is incredibly small per solar cell, so you need a ton of them to make any sort of useful power out of them. Solar panels do degrade over time, but incredibly slowly, there are some from the 1970's that still generate just as much power as they did originally (if not, only ever so slightly less).

I hope I answered what you needed to know! If you wanted a different answer, feel free to comment with some clarification and I would love to fill you in :)
