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 type of plate boundary is the mid-atlantic ridge a part of
Harlamova29_29 [7]
Mid- Atlantic ridge is a part of constructive plate boundary or divergent plate boundary. This linear feature lies in the midst of a two tectonic plates that are apart from each other. Active divergent plate boundaries usually take place in the middle of oceanic plates then become mid-oceanic ridges. In fact that a Mid- Atlantic Ridge is mainly an underwater feature, some of its segments have an altitude that extends above sea level. Its boundary is situated along Atlantic Ocean's bottom and areas of the world's longest mountain range.

The ""normal"" high temperature for a given day is determined from the ____ averaged high temperature for that day. a. 30-year b
Sunny_sXe [5.5K]

Answer: 30 year

Explanation:

The normal high temperature for a given day determined by the temperature of a place averaged over a period of time, often 30 years. This is also described as climate information. Climate information includes the statistical weather information that tells us about the normal weather, and also the range of weather extremes for a location. Most weather forecasters rely of past weather to predict the normal high temperature of a given day.

The average high or low temperature is the normalized high or low temperature for at least a 30 year period. Therefore, an average high is a statistical average. Records need to be kept at least 30 years for an average high temperature, for the information to be statistically meaningful.
