Answer:

As discussed below.

Explanation:

  • Predicting earthquakes is a very complex task as compared to that of the volcanic eruptions that take place as a consequence of these quakes. Not even the USGS can accurately predict these earthquakes as an earthquake occurs from deep within the layers of the earth and thus it is quite difficult to predict how shallow these depths are.  
  • <u>Monitoring and predicting the behavior</u> of an active or extinct or dominant type of volcano is much easier as they can be studied based on magma and lava, for example, the swelling inside a volcano can predict that magma has accumulated near the surface.
  • Movement of magma and gases through the hydrothermal vents can be done through the thermal monitoring system also a volcano can bee seen on the surface and a earthquake in the seismic wave form underneath the surface is not.

List and describe the evidence used to support the plate tectonics theory.
umka2103 [35]
The basic theory of plate tectonics is that along seafloor spreading zones, the continents are separating from one another. As they spread apart, magma comes to the surface and becomes new continental crust. As the tectonic plates move away from spreading zones, they collide with one another.

Areas with relatively scarce sand and constantly shifting winds will develop ________ dunes.Group of answer choiceslongitudinalb
fredd [130]

Star dunes are mountains that can form in areas with relatively sparse sand and ever-changing winds.

<h3 /><h3>Where is the star dune easiest to find?</h3>

They are easily found in deserts, and will be formed with the transport of sediment by changing the direction of strong winds.

Therefore, the dunes are ecosystems formed by fine grains of sand from the action of the winds, forming mountains and hills of different shapes.

Why does a maritime tropical (mt) air mass tend to bring humid weather<br>and showers?​
klemol [59]

Answer:

Maritime tropical air masses originate over the warm waters of the tropics and Gulf of Mexico, where heat and moisture are transferred to the overlying air from the waters below. The northward movement of tropical air masses moves warm moist air into the United States, increasing the chances for precipitation.
