Answer:

A. volcanic activity

Explanation:

In a subduction zone, a noticeable increase in volcanic activity can be observed.

A subduction  zone is a plate margin in which a denser lithospheric plate goes beneath a lighter one. One such example is illustrated between an oceanic plate which subducts beneath a continetal plate.

When a plate subducts, it goes deeper into the earth and reflux melting of the plate occurs. The melting point of nearby rocks is considerably lowered by dewatering of the subducting plate. The water causes reflux melting and magma forms. Appropriate conduits like fractures can carry the magma to the surface to initiate volcanic activities. This is the origin of volcanic activities within the continent or continental volcanism.

Explanation:

North Africa receives less solar radiation from the sun as compared to Sub-Saharan Africa because north Africa is far from equator whereas the Sub-Saharan Africa is located near and on the equator zone. Those regions who are on the equator experience direct solar radiation of sun that leads to higher insolation as compared to areas which is far away from equator receives lower insolation so that's why North Africa have low insolation as compared to Sub-Saharan Africa.

GUIDING QUESTION How did colonialism influence the history and
Vikentia [17]

Answer:

Colonialism, that is, the policies carried out by the European powers to obtain territories abroad and exploit them economically within the framework of mercantilist economic production, forever marked the destiny of the different nations that emerged from the colonized territories.  

This was the case, among others, of the nations of Central America and the Caribbean, where powers such as Spain, England, France, the Netherlands and Portugal established different colonies, transferring their cultures to these territories, to the detriment of native cultures, which they were displaced and in many cases wiped out by the colonizers.

In this way, the nations of these regions are the product of said colonialist intervention: their peoples emerge from the mixture of Europeans, slaves, natives and later migrants, and their cultures are also a mixture between these nations. In addition, politically these countries have adopted Western systems, leaving aside the systems applied by the natives.
