Asthenosphere is the answer of this question. It best describes the all above mention properties. 


Asthenosphere is the the upper layer of the earth's mantle, below the lithosphere, in which there is relatively low resistance to plastic flow and convection is thought to occur.

How do hurricanes affect Central America and the Caribbean?
serious [3.7K]

The hurricanes have negative, often devastating effects on the Caribbean and Central America.

Explanation:

Both, the Caribbean an Central America, are located in areas where there is high hurricane activity. These two regions are not well developed, but instead they are developing, and there is large scale poverty, which unfortunately doesn't go well in a combination with the hurricanes. Every year, several hurricanes of varying sizes hit these regions, and the effects are devastating more often than not.

Because the people are poor in general, as well as the countries themselves, the infrastructure is of very bad quality. The systems for warning are either non-existent or not very efficient. When stronger hurricanes hit these two regions suffer badly as most of the infrastructure gets destroyed. The bad organization results in lot of people ending up without any help or with little to no medical assistance. Hundreds of thousands of people every year end up homeless, badly injured, or dead, and part of the reason for that is that the warning systems often don't work properly and don't notify the people on time to take cover in safer grounds.

Some of the countries that often have huge problems because of hurricanes are:

  • Haiti
  • Dominican Republic
  • Belize
  • Cuba

Ilia_Sergeevich [38]

The Andes in western South America is an example of a landform that arises from the movement of the tectonic plates.

The Andes mountain range is the mountain range that runs along South America's whole Pacific Ocean coast in the west. It is the world's longest continental mountain range, stretching 8500 km.

It was created by the convergence of the South American and Nazca plates towards the end of the Late Cretaceous, at the end of the Mesozoic era. In the relief configuration, seismic movements and consequent volcanic activity have been more significant than external erosive processes.

There are high mountain ranges in the existing morphology, as well as broad high plateaus, deep longitudinal valleys, and vast mountain ranges. Except for in the Argentine-Chilean Andes, transversal valleys are uncommon.

To learn more about the Andes refer to:
