Answer:

B. both earthquakes and volcanoes are common.

Explanation:

Transform Plate Boundaries are locations where two tectonic plates slide against one another. There are three types of plate boundaries: convergent, divergent, and transform.

When the plates rub against each other, huge stresses can cause portions of the rock to break, resulting in earthquakes. Places where these breaks occur are called faults.

A well-known example of a transform fault is the San Andreas Fault in California and the Alpine Fault of New Zealand.

Volcanism occurs at convergent boundaries (subduction zones) and at divergent boundaries (mid-ocean ridges, continental rifts), but not commonly at transform boundaries.

Plate boundaries are also associated with the creation of other topographic features such as mountains, volcanoes, mid-ocean ridges, and oceanic trenches. However, except there is a deep break into the earth's crust, the volcanoes are not noticeable.

Which of the following occurrences is a major cause of earthquakes in the Indian Subcontinent?
choli [55]

Answer:

The landmass of India is pushing into that of Asia.

Explanation:

The Indian subcontinent is located in the southern part of Asia. Even it is considered as part of Asia, it is actually lying on its own tectonic continental plate, the Indian plate. The Indian plate has moved away from the ancient supercontinent Gondwana and by moving toward the north it has collided and pushed against the Eurasian plate.

These two plates make up a convergent plate boundary. Because they push against each other, there is constant pressure on the crust at and near the plate boundary, so the crust cracks deeps inside and adjusts itself. By doing so, earthquakes occur near the plate boundary, so they are from the northwestern part of the Indian, through the northern part, and the northeastern part, are facing regular earthquake activity. Fortunately, most of these earthquakes are not very strong, but unfortunately, there is the occasional that can cause enormous damage and loss of human lives.
