Geography
1 answer:
attashe74 [19]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

1 - Transform plate boundaries

2 - Convergent : Subduction

3 - Convergent : Collision

4 - Divergent

Explanation:

1 - The main reason why there are earthquakes at transform plate boundaries is, sometimes as they slide past each other they may stick for long periods of time and when they eventually release a shock wave is felt.

2 - Subduction occurs when the heavier tectonic plate, in this case the oceanic plate slides under the continental plate  

3 - Folding occurs when two continental plates crash into one another, no subduction occurs as they are the same mass instead the fold upwards to form mountains this is how the Himalayan mountain range was formed

4 - At divergent plate boundaries magma rises up this usually occurs underwater to form islands

What do scientists believe has caused global temperatures over the past 100 years to rise faster than ever before
wlad13 [49]
Global warming is what scientists conclude has caused the massive rise in temperature. Greenhouse gases are in the atmosphere, keeping heat trapped around Earth. The more these gases build up, the warmer or the more significant rise in temperature will take place. Greenhouse gases are released when we use fossil fuels, burn fires, etc. We are using more of these than ever, especially with the world's growing population. 

I hope this helps!
