Answer:
Oil spills
Explanation:
It is the release of petroleum hydrocarbon in the environment like marine ecosystem by human activity which has bad repercussions for both animal and human life as the sea water pushed away by the impact of the air currents it drifts and mixes with the seawater internally altering its chemical composition. Thus influencing coasts and sea shores by producing toxic affluents degrading the quality and quantity of water.

Answer:
(A) The Coriolis force is the force that acts on an object due to the rotation of the earth. The basic rule of this force is that it causes the deflection of wind when it blows from one place to another. The magnitude of this Coriolis force directly depends upon the latitude at which the object is located. This force is maximum at the poles and minimum at the equator.
(B)- Correct answer is Option (2) i.e this force can indicate the wind direction in the northern and southern hemisphere,
When the air in a particular area becomes warm due to heating, then it becomes less dense and rises up. This area forms a low pressure zone. This low pressure zone is filled with the air from the high pressure zone. The wind that blows from the region of high pressure to the region of low pressure does not move in a straight line. Due to the Coriolis force, this wind gets deviate and reaches the low pressure zone.
<u>Thus, this force indicates the direction from which a wind blows in both the southern and the northern hemisphere. In the southern direction it moves in anticlockwise direction, whereas in the northern hemisphere it moves in clockwise direction.</u>
Answer:
<u>South America, Central America, and the Cascade Volcanoes are an example of this type of subduction. Japan, Indonesia, and the Aleutian Islands are examples of this type of subduction</u>
Explanation:
- Subduction is a process of destruction of the old lithospheric plate at the construction of a new plate through the divergent boundary of the mid-oceanic ridge.
- For subduction to take place the plate or slab need to pass through a trench or subduction zone and can occur through the collision of oceanic crust and the collision of continental and oceanic crust which one is lighter goes under and hence volcanic and mountains are formed as a surface feature.
- Evert plate is moving at a well-defined rate of subduction either in east or west direction as the seafloor continues to spread.
