Answer:
The Equator
Explanation:
The Equator is found at 0° latitude. 0° latitude divides the Earth into two equal hemispheres known as the north and south hemispheres.
The correct answer is - Magma generated from a hot spot burned through the overlying plate to create volcanoes.
The Hawaiian Islands are all formed as a result of volcanic activity of a hot spot. The hot spot is stationary, but the islands are in the shape of a chain, not all in the same place. Also, the rocks on the islands that do not have active volcanoes are older, than the ones that do have volcanic activity. This suggests that the Pacific plate is moving. According the direction in which the islands are arranged, the Pacific plate seems to move toward northwest. As it moves, it moves over the hot spot. Since the hot spot is stationary, as the Pacific plate moves, eventually the volcanic activity will stop on the island that has moved further away from the hot spot. The magma from the hot spot will penetrate through the crust that came to be over it. That will result in new volcanic island emerging from the sea over the hot spot. The process goes on for millions of years, and it can result in hundreds of islands of volcanic origin.
The answers are:
- air pollution; the bigger cities create lots of dust, there's always new building sites that contribute to dust and some of the working materials to pollute the air. Also there's big amount of vehicles that release toxic gases, as well as the industry.
- housing shortages; the more people there are at some city, the more difficult it is to have space for everyone, because usually the process of building new homes doesn't correspond with the amount of people coming in.
- overcrowding; the larger the population at some place, the more crowded it gets, be it in traffic, walking, in stores, institutions...
- water pollution; more people means more pollutants in the water they are using, which in return creates water shortages because big portion of the water can not be used afterwards.
- water shortages; the amount of fresh water is limited, so once the population surpases the optimal number problems with fresh water start to occur. To this also contributes the irresponsible usage of water.
Answer:
mid-ocean ridges
Explanation:
Seafloor spreading is a process that occurs at mid-ocean ridges, where new oceanic crust is formed through volcanic activity and then gradually moves away from the ridge.
