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).

Choose the 2 reasons some atoms are radioactive. a. the number of additional neutrons of an isotope is too large b. the nucleus
uranmaximum [27]

Answer:

The correct options are: a. the number of additional neutrons of an isotope is too large; d. the number of additional neutrons of an isotope is too small

Explanation:

The chemical elements that have the same number of protons in the nucleus but different number of neutrons are known as isotopes. Isotopes can be stable or unstable.

The isotope having an unstable nucleus, due to the presence of additional neutrons in the nucleus of the atom, is known as a radioisotope.

Also, chemical elements that have atomic number greater than 83 have unstable nuclei and thus they are called radioisotopes.

Which of the following conditions will produce the largest waves? a. strong, long duration winds in a large fetch weak, b. short
Alisiya [41]

Answer:

strong, long duration winds in a large fetch weak

Explanation:

A fetch is an area of the ocean or sea where wind blows in a fixed direction, this consistent wind leads to waves.

Fetch length is the distance reached by the wave generating winds when measured in from a horizontal direction. The wind creates wave by forming a drag and a frictional drag, the wind the flow over the wave making it grow. Therefore, a strong, long duration winds in a moderate fetch or weak fetch will produce largest waves.
