Answer:

b) the Pacific plate has carried the volcanoes away from the hot spot that formed them

Explanation:

The Hawaiian islands all have volcanic origin. Some are not active, while some still are. All of these islands have been active volcanoes at one point of time, and they have been created by a hot spot that lies beneath the Pacific plate. The hot spot has such a power that it actually manages to break through the central part of the plate where its crust is the strongest and densest. As the magma manages to come out above the water, it manages to create volcanic islands. The Pacific plate though is moving, it is not static, so it drags the volcanic islands away from the hot spot, causing their extinguishing. As those islands are moved away, the hot spot creates new volcanic islands, and the process constantly continuous, resulting in a volcanic island chain.

Hello:) anyone able to help me with the 3rd point? I don’t understand it :( thank you !
Stels [109]

The two tectonic plates meet at point one. One is moving under the other, shown by the two arrows on the top pointing towards each other. The denser plate (left side) is subducted. This means the denser plate begins to go under the less dense plate. The lithosphere (crust/tectonic plate) is mainly solid rock. As it begins to go into the mantle it will begin to heat up as the mantle is hotter than the surface. The solid surface becomes a molten rock, known as magma. It melts as it goes down.

What do worms eat? Why are whale remains able to support so much life?
Ymorist [56]

Answer:

Some of the things that worms eat include dead plants, live plants, dead animals, animal poop, and other microscopic animals. After they eat, they grind up and digest their food and pass the rest as waste, called castings, which go back into the soil and help plants grow and stay healthy.

Whale skeletons support so much life because they contain an enormous amount of oil. Before this happens, they must release enough eggs or larvae so that some tiny proportion will be transported by the ocean currents and survive until they can find and colonize another whale carcass.
