Answer:

D. Earthquakes cannot occur along transform plate boundaries.

Explanation:

Earthquakes occur both along plate edges and along faults lines in the Earth’s crust.. Most earthquakes occur along the edge of the oceanic and continental plates. Earthquakes can also occur far from the edges of plates, along faults. Normal faults are the cracks where one block of rock is sliding downward and away from another block of rock.

Faults are basically cracks in the continental or oceanic plates triggered due to plate tectonics. The crust is highly unstable in the vicinity of fault lines and disturbances along the fault lines might trigger massive earthquakes.

Global atmospheric circulation creates winds across the planet and leads to areas of high rainfall, like the tropical rainforests, and areas of dry air, like deserts.

For example, if employees must work high above the ground, the hazard can be eliminated by moving the piece they are working on to ground level to eliminate the need to work at heights.

how do location near the coast and prevailing wind patterns affect climate in the southern united states
Sunny_sXe [5.5K]

The southern part of the United States is heavily influenced by the sea/ocean and the wind patters that occur because of it. The warm waters that surround the region are making it more stable temperature-wise and the weather is warm and wet for big portions of the year. The precipitation is high as well. But this also brings in problems in the shape of the hurricanes, tornadoes, intense big rainstorms, and floods.
