Explanation:

Tectonic Earthquakes

Earthquakes caused by plate tectonics are called tectonic quakes. They account for most earthquakes worldwide and usually occur at the boundaries of tectonic plates.

Plate tectonics

Induced Earthquakes

Induced quakes are caused by human activity, like tunnel construction, filling reservoirs and implementing geothermal or fracking projects.

Volcanic Earthquakes

Volcanic quakes are associated with active volcanism. They are generally not as powerful as tectonic quakes and often occur relatively near the surface. Consequently, they are usually only felt in the vicinity of the hypocentre.

Collapse Earthquakes

Collapse quakes can be triggered by such phenomena as cave-ins, mostly in karst areas or close to mining facilities, as a result of subsidence.

O que você sabe a respeito das características econômicas do continente africano?
ikadub [295]

The African countries can easily be described and generalized, in the sense of the whole continent, as the economies are predominantly dependent on one or two products.

That dependence on one or two products is making very big problems, and it is also a very big mistake of the governments. When there's a slight variation in the prices on the certain product, the economies are heavily influenced, often in a bed manner.

It is weird though that the African countries have orientated their economies in this way, especially because the continent is very rich in lots of natural resources.

Time space compression is affects culture in terms of thoughts, benefits and value systems.

Explanation:

  • Time-space compression is a concept given by David Harvey referring to the phenomenon that alters the relationship and quantities of space. It occurs as a result of innovation in technology.
  • Time-space compression can be used to understand the facets of contemporary life. Today the world is viewed as one where various cultures are constantly interacting have similar ideologies and belief systems.

A/An ____________________ ____________________ forms where two plates carrying oceanic crust converge.
umka21 [38]

Answer:

Subduction zone and trench is formed

Explanation:

When two tectonic plates that are comprised of oceanic crust shares a convergent type of plate boundary, then the denser one subducts below the less dense one. Due to this convergent plate motion, a subduction zone is created, which is marked by the presence of an oceanic trench. As the subducting plate penetrates downward into the deeper zone, the process of partial melting takes place, which leads to the melting of the crust and eventually the constituent minerals are mixed with the magma. This magma again comes upward due to the force exerted by the convection current and thereby results in the formation of volcanoes in the over-riding plate.

Thus, the collision of two oceanic plates gives rise to the formation of a subduction zone and a trench.
