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.

What are the cycles that have historically controlled natural climate variability? List the name of each cycle, its natural time
Verdich [7]

Answer:

As explained below.

Explanation:

  • Climate oscillation or climate cycles are a recurring oscillation within the global or regional climates and their fluctuations produce varying climatic cells and pressures often occurring on an interannual and multi annular basis.  
  • On a decadal and millennium timescales.Current examples of the ENSO, Pacific oscillation, Antarctica, and arctic oscillation. like ENSO is characterized by flooding and drought conditions and the distribution of extreme conditions in the form of heat and cold waves.
  • Other cycles like the Piora oscillation, Little ice age, medieval warm period, retreating of glaciers and warming of the planet. All these cycles move on earth from the equator to tropics to temperate to polar areas and the continuous warming and cooling periods have altered the rate of spreading of the seafloor and oceanic basin.
  • Present warming has drastically created a major change in the evolution of species causing extinction and quick decomposition of resources. The release of carbon and methane gases over these years have raised the greenhouse effect at alarming rates.
