Answer:

Option (1)

Explanation:

Hotspots are the regions where the magma rises towards the surface due to the presence of large mantle plumes. The force exerted by the magma here is very high. When the lithospheric plates move over these regions, the magma comes out to the surface forming volcanoes. And as the plates move away from the region of hotspot they eventually cool. These hots spots are fixed at a place. There are numerous hotspots on earth.  for example, the Hawaiin island chain, below which there are regions of hotspots.

Thus, the hotspot regions are not associated with the plate boundaries.

Hence, the correct answer is option (1).

mixer [17]

Answer:

  1. Reduced snow accumulations
  2. Earlier snowmelt in the Spring
  3. Spring flooding
  4. Less water in streams
  5. Reduced water availability

Explanation:

Less snow will fall in Winter due to the higher temperatures and, thus, will not accumulate. When there is less accumulated snow on the ground and the snowpack is thinner, then the snowmelt will occur earlier and faster in the Spring.  

Quicker snowmelt in the Spring will result in rivers overflowing their banks because they cannot hold such a rapid influx of water. Rapid water cycle runoff will cause Spring flooding.

The snowpack will, therefore, be depleted early in the Spring season, and due to the earlier and faster snowmelt, there will be less water in the streams during the Summer.

The consequential lack of slow mountain snowmelt during the summer season will result in rivers flowing much less vigorously and with less volume over water. This means that downriver communities will face summer water shortages.

<h3>What is frost weathering?</h3>

Frost weathering is physical weathering that involves freezing and thawing of waters in an area with extremely cold weather. When water freezes its size expands and damages the area.

Its best example is when water collects in small in a rock then freezes. The expansion of the water while frozen causes the rock to break into pieces.
