Which of the following are common tectonic settings associated with volcanic activity?

Geography
1 answer:
Bumek [7]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

Options (A), (C), (D) and (E)

Explanation:

The tectonic setting usually refers to the plate tectonic activity, where the earth's crust is divided into numerous small and large plates that move over the layer of the asthenosphere. This motion of plates gave rise to the formation of different geological settings on and under the earth's surface.

Some of the common tectonic activities that are associated with the volcanic activity are as follows-

  • Continental rift refers to the splitting of the continental areas, where the rift valley is formed eventually and due to this divergent motion of the crust, there form volcanoes in the adjacent side of the plate boundary.
  • Mantle plumes refer to the region where the hot and less dense magma rises up from the interior of the earth, forming large convection cells in columns. When plates move over this region, there form volcanoes. For example, Hawaii.
  • Island arcs and continental arcs are commonly formed in the convergent plate boundaries, where the subduction zone is formed and as the magma rises upwards towards the surface in the over-riding plate, it forms volcanoes.

Thus, the correct answers are options (A), (C), (D) and (E).

How stable is the quantity and quality of freshwater supplies in the United States?
zaharov [31]

Answer:

The United States has a good amount of freshwater supply over most of the territory, because the American territory is ripe with lakes, rivers, streams, and groundwater.

The quality of these water sources varies from area to area, and many water bodies have been deeply polluted by human activity. However, the United States is a developed country with generally good  water treatment facilities.

Notwithstanding, the United States faces two important challenges: one is the growing population of the country, which will put more pressure on freshwater sources in the future. The other one is that a few areas of the country are devoid of water supply sources, and they are among the fastest growing regions of the U.S (Nevada, Arizona, New Mexico). This poises a great challenge for U.S. authorities in the near future.
