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.

inysia [295]

Answer:

Basalt, sedimentary rock.

Explanation:

  • The reason why the continental crust differs from the oceanic crust is much different in its compositions. The continental crust is thin and less dense , is made of sedimentary and metamorphic rocks than the oceanic crust and is made of lighter elements. The tectonic plates move the composition to the rocks.

Please select the word from the list that best fits the definition, region with a marine west coast climate
Mkey [24]
<span>The marine west coast climate is a biome characteristic of being located midway between the tropics and arctic or Antarctic regions of the world, most often between 35 and 60 degrees north. This climate's major characteristics are mild summers and winters and abundant annual precipitation. This ecosystem is highly influenced by its proximity to the coast and to mountains. It is sometimes known as the humid west coast climate or the oceanic climate. In additional to coastal plains and mountains, this type of climate is often characterized by glacial valleys and fjords.

Marine west coast climates are typically found to the west of large mountain ranges that cause fronts to collide and release all of their precipitation. Wet warm air from the coast rises and cools as it goes over the mountain. This causes the water in the air to cool and condense, resulting in rain, drizzle, and fog. Then drier air proceeds inland. This is known as the rain shadow effect, which in basic terms is when a mountain blocks the advance of wet weather, creating a dry biome on the other side and a wet biome on the ocean side. This results in a very special climate.

Think of areas such as British Columbia in Canada, Washington and Oregon in the United States, and most of the continent of Europe. Parts of Africa and Australia are also considered marine west coast despite not being located on a west coast of the continent.</span>
