The Olympic Peninsula, Mount Rainier, and the deep 'implosion' earthquakes are all formed/produced as a result of the subduction zone that occurs in this part of the Earth. The Pacific tectonic plate and the North American tectonic plate collide, or rather the softer Pacific plate is subducting under the harder North American plate.

if you start at the equator and travel to 10 degrees North latitude, approximately how many miles North of the equator will you
Anni [7]

Answer:

691.666 miles north of equator will be  

Explanation:

We have given circumference of the earth = 24900 miles

It is given that someone starts at the equator and travel to 10° north latitude

We know that if we complete one whole round of earth then we travel 360°

And we also know that 1 complete round is equal to the circumference of the earth

So in completing 360° we travel 24900 miles

So for 10° =24900\times \frac{10}{360}=691.666miles

So 691.666 miles north of equator will be
