Answer:
Correlation
Explanation:
Correlation simply means matching rocks or strata's of the same age. This rock units or sedimentary strata's may be matched from same region or even different continents.
In correlation the major task is to establish time equivalency of various rocks or sedimentary strata's.
In correlation of rock unit or sedimentary strata, Geologist looks at the physical continuity. For example a sedimentary strata from a region having a particular sequence of rock or sedimentary strata . That same pattern of sequence may be found in another region . With the similarity in the sequence stratigraphy ( sediment layering), Geologist can infer the similarity in age of both strata's.
Fossil contents present in different strata; if similar fossil contents found in different regions, geologist can determine the age similarities.
The first picture indicates strata correlation using fossil similarities while the second picture uses the physical continuity like lithology to correlates strata's
Answer:
Options (A), (B), (C), and (D)
Explanation:
The volcanic activity refers to the eruption of magma at the surface of the ocean floor and continental land areas, forming volcanoes.
Some of the tectonic settings that are associated with volcanic activity are as follows-
- Mantle plumes- These are the large uprising bodies of magma that are generated due to the formation of convection current in the mantle. These are localized body and are located away from the tectonic boundaries. For example, Hawaii is formed as the plates moved over the mantle plumes.
- Continental rifts- This refers to the eruption of magma at the surface of the continents, due to the divergent motion of two continental plates. It results in the formation of a rift, rift valley and then later forms an ocean.
- Island arcs- These are formed due to the collision of two oceanic plates, where the volcanoes are formed on the lighter oceanic plate due to the rising up of magma.
- Continental arcs- These are formed due to the collision between an oceanic and a continental plate, where the volcanoes are formed due to the uprising of magma in the lighter continental plates.

Answer:
These two plates will form mountains.
Explanation:
This is an example of convergent boundaries. Convergent Boundaries are formed when two plates move towards each other. Converge means to come together from different directions and meet at one place
In the case of you question, India and Asia are an example of a Convergent Boundary. According to the theory of Continental Drift - India crashed into India. The two land masses buckled and folded - forming the Himalayas!
The answer is C, sailboats could carry large cargos!
