   Ring of Fire, also called Circum-Pacific Belt or Pacific Ring of Fire, long horseshoe-shaped seismically active belt of earthquake epicentres, volcanoes, and tectonic plate boundaries that fringes the Pacific basin. For much of its 40,000-km (24,900-mile) length, the belt follows chains of island arcs such as Tonga and New Hebrides, the Indonesian archipelago, the Philippines, Japan, the Kuril Islands, and the Aleutians, as well as other arc-shaped geomorphic features, such as the western coast of North America and the Andes Mountains. Volcanoes are associated with the belt throughout its length; for this reason it is called the “Ring of Fire.” A series of deep ocean troughs frame the belt on the oceanic side, and continental landmasses lie behind. Most of the world’s earthquakes, the overwhelming majority of the world’s strongest earthquakes, and approximately 75 percent of the world’s volcanoes occur within the Ring of Fire.

Why can category 1 tropical cyclones be more destructive than category 5 tropical cyclones?
Arturiano [62]

When dealing with the degree of cyclones we have to consider the place where a cyclone can occur.

<h3>Why does a Grade 1 cyclone have more consequences?</h3>

This is due not only to the degree of the cyclone but where it occurs, so a cyclone of degree 1 in a city will have infinitely greater consequences than a hurricane of 5 in the middle of the ocean.

When will the waves at the shore be the smallest and calmest?
xeze [42]

Answer:

When the wind is not blowing

Explanation:

Wave moves from one place to another when a force is applied by the wind on the surface of water. So, when a tide comes or recedes then it means a force is applied by wind, movement of earth etc.

Therefore, a sound will also produce due to the movement of these waves and also there will be some height of the waves.

Hence, this means that upwelling of wave, receding or coming of tide will be high and not calm.

Whereas when no wind is blowing then water will move very slightly. Therefore, in that case the waves at the shore be the smallest and calmest.

marin [14]

Answer:

<u>B surface map; isobaric chart</u>

Explanation:

  • A surface map is a map used in weather analysis to view the geographical areas from the weather perspectives through the use of ground-based stations. This map shows all the surface phenomena like the winds, rainfall and cloud cover, etc.
  • The isobars show the variation in atmospheric pressure over the high and lower pressure areas when the air pressure is lower the bars are spaced and when the pressure is higher the bar is closely spaced.
  • Thus the isobaric charts show us the areas that are well defined in terms of equal areas of atmospheric circulation of the map. Displacement of warm and cold air also tells us the type of formations of pressure formations
