Option B is correct.

The type of landform that develops at plate boundaries where one oceanic plate descends beneath another is volcanic island arc.

Further Explanation:

Volcanic island arc: It formed from the collusion or subduction of one tectonic plate under another in the ocean, and sometimes parallel to an oceanic trench

Justification for correct and incorrect answer:

Rift valley: This option is incorrect.

It is lowland between mountain ranges or highlands created by the force of a fault or geologic rift.

Volcanic island arc: This option is correct.

It formed from the collusion of one tectonic plate under another under the ocean, and sometimes parallel to an oceanic trench.

Mountain formed by a batholith: This option is incorrect.

It is a large igneous rock that is formed beneath the surface of the Earth by the solidification and intrusion of magma.

Lava plateau: This option is incorrect.

They are formed from liquid basaltic lava that is erupted from the number of successive volcanic eruptions through the number of vents.

Therefore, option B is correct.

The answer is B. In a destructive plate boundary, the descending plate, usually the oceanic plate begins to melt as it descends below into the mantle. This forms magma that rises and erupts onto the overlying continental plate through fissures. This volcanic activity is responsible for geographical features such as the volcanic island arc, which lies parallel to the subduction zone.

11. The dominant sediment type found along the equatorial Pacific Ocean is ______.

timurjin [86]

Large ocean basins are the only places where pelagic sediments are found. The main types of deposits are globigerina ooze and red clay.

<h3>What common dominant sediment type in Pacific Ocean? </h3>

Diatom oozes are only found in a ring that spans the North Pacific Ocean and an almost continuous belt that surrounds Antarctica.

Nutritional requirements of diatoms and are more common in the warmer seas towards the equator.

As a result, siliceous radiolarian ooze predominates in the equatorial coastal Pacific, while siliceous diatom ooze predominates in the polar regions.

Therefore, The dominant sediment type found along the equatorial Pacific Ocean is biogenous

Which countries in the Middle East export petroleum?

Zielflug [23.3K]

Hey there! I'm happy to help!

The countries in the Middle East that export petroleum are Saudi Arabia, Iran, Iraq, United Arab Emirates, Kuwait, Qatar, Oman, and I think there are a few more but those are the main ones. Lots of Middle Eastern countries export it but these are the main ones. Places like Saudi Arabia and Iran have lots of oil fields available, so they would naturally export lots of petroleum.

Have a wonderful day! :D

A CT air mass is hot and wet cold and dry hot and dry cold and wet

Arturiano [62]

The correct answer is - hot and dry.

The CT air masses are air masses that originate from deep inside the land masses in the tropical regions of the Earth. The ''C'' actually stands for continental, thus indicating the formation of the air mass over a land mass, while the ''T'' stands for tropical, thus indicating the tropical region of where the land mass over which this air mass forms.

Because these air masses form over land in the tropics, they are hot and dry. The hot and dry characteristics come from the bigger heating of the land masses, as well as the lack of water vapor over the land masses.
