Answer:

Correct answer is: Due to interaction between Pacific and North American plate.

Explanation:

Mountain Redoubt is located in south Alaska. Mentioned mountain is in the vicinity of convergent plate boundary between North American and Pacific plate.

Convergent boundary means that those plates are colliding. One plate always slides beneath another, and in this case Pacific plate slides beneath North American. Area of collision is known as subduction zone.

Pacific plate is oceanic plate, and North American is continental plate. Oceanic plates always slides beneath continental ones. Reason for that is due to their density. Oceanic plates are denser, so they go under continental ones.

Pacific and North American plate interaction is typicall oceanic-continetal boundary where earthquakes (seismic activity) and active volcanoes are common. Some of the strongest earthquakes happened in this area. That was in 1964 in Prince William Sound in the south coast of Alaska. Magnitude was 9.2M, second strongest quake ever recorded in world's history.

Answer:

On the oceans of the Earth, gravity and inertia work in opposition, causing tidal bulges on opposite sides of the planet. The moon's gravitational force pulls the ocean's waters toward it on the "near" side of the Earth (the side facing the moon), resulting in a bulge.

A country whose economy can be described as "developing" is most likely to engage in which kind of economic activity.

Leya [2.2K]

The correct answer is - industry.

The developing countries are most often occupied with making the economies heavily focused on the industry, so the countries engage into a big industrialization process.

The industries are usually based around manufacturing of the natural resources that the country has, and most often those are the metal ores, the agricultural products, creating materials...

The developing countries usually have a relatively big economic growth, and that is due to the bad economic basis that they had as a starting point.
