Answer:

A) December  

B) March and September

C) June  

Explanation:

Earth is slightly tilted on its axis and that is the reason some regions have more or less sunlight at different times in a year. If earth was not positioned slightly tiled it would have stationed itself at a static position right above the equator. Which means there would be no season and sunlight falling on certain region of earth would be fixed. Hence, the concept of equinoxes and solstices would have never come into being.  

There are two solstices, winter solstice and summer solstice. Winter solstice happens in December 21st or 22nd and marks the beginning of winters. However summer solstice happens on June 20th or 21st and marks the beginning of summers. The days are shortest during winter solstices and longest during summer solstices. On the other hand Equinoxes occur around March 21st and September 23rd. at this time of year day and nights are of equal length as sun is right above the equator.

Use the earthquake distribution map and what you know about boundaries to answer the question. a map showing the tectonic plates
Galina-37 [17]

The most likely place for an oceanic-oceanic convergence to occur is the philippine plate converging with the pacific plate, forming Mariana islands.

<h3>What is an oceanic-oceanic convergence?</h3>

This refers to when two oceanic plates collide with each other which leads to the heavier plate sinking.

The Philippine plate and the Pacific plates are both oceanic plate so if they converged, this would be an oceanic-oceanic convergence.

What will happen to the Earth’s surface if the tectonic plates moved faster than usual?
jok3333 [9.3K]

If the tectonic plates had higher rates of movement than what they currently do, then the surface of Earth would have been much different. The first noticeable difference would have that the average elevation would be higher than it is now. The reason for that will be that the erosion rates will remain as they are, while the orogenic processes will speed up, so there will be much faster formation of hills and mountains.

The climate would vary much faster on global level, as faster movement of the continents will contribute to fast changes in the ocean currents, and the global wind patterns, all that can have been impact on the relief.

Another thing would be the merging and breaking up of the continental masses, so a formation of a super-continent will occur, and with it lot of new land forms around the areas that are boundaries of the plates, but also that super-continent will break up quicker, so new continental masses will form quickly as well.

With the directions of movement of the tectonic plates as they are, if the rates of movement speed up, Australia will very soon merge with the southern islands of Southeast Asia, Africa (Nubian plate), North America, and Eurasia will merge, while the Somali plate of Africa will move into the Indian Ocean and close it up. South America will isolate itself from North America and move deeper into what is now the Pacific, while Antarctica will move gradually toward the Equator, all of which will make the world look much different, and with constant rise of new land forms and changes of the surface of out planet.
