It has to be True. Hawaii is one of the two states that are away from the continental US but the only state that has islands. If you think about it most of the islands almost all of the islands have active volcanoes which could be a huge risk for the people that are living / visiting Hawaii. Hawaii may sound a nice, relaxing place to get away from crowds but there are other things to look out for in Hawaii

Answer:

<u>True</u>.

Explanation:

  • As the volcanic islands of Hawaii are still considered to be in an active zone, as the Hawaiian islands are believed to be formed on the hotspot of eruptions ie. the active plate boundaries from below the surface these tend to move westwards direction from the main island of Hawaii.
  • As we go from east to west the chain of rocks gets older and then forms a ring-shaped pattern hence called the ring of fire. Thus there is a great risk of volcanic hazard as these are fault lines being associated with high magnitude tectonic earthquakes.
  • They can have a seriously damaging impact upon other islands as well and this considered to be highly hazardous. As various vents and mounds of volcanic nature lie within the oceans of the Pacific plate.

Many times a map scale will show distances in both miles and
fiasKO [112]

The correct answer is - kilometers.

Very often, the map scale is showing distances in both miles and kilometers. The reason for this that the majority of the countries in the world use the metric system, thus the kilometers are a must, but also there countries that do not use this system, thus they include the miles. In this way, the map scale can be used by people that both use and not use the metric system in their daily lives.

The map scale is a very important element on the maps. Its purpose is to enable the reader of the map to be able to measure the distance from one place to another, thus to be aware of the real distance in the real space.

Inga [223]

Answer:

Much of the X-ray and UV radiation from the Sun is absorbed in the thermosphere. When the Sun is very active and emitting more high energy radiation, the thermosphere gets hotter and expands or "puffs up".
