b. False

Hotspot volcanoes do not occur along subduction zones. They occur when plates pass over hot spots.

The correct answer is - b. False.

Hotspot volcanoes are found on places where a tectonic plate passes over a hotspot. Hotspots, unlike the other types of volcanoes that appear on borderlines between tectonic plates, are not like that, but instead they are on the pretty much same spot from their beginning till the end. Even when a tectonic plate passes over them they manage to break through the crust and come out on the surface and continue their activity, and their shift in position is minor and is caused by the stretching of the crust diagonally over time as the plate moves.

How does the life of a high mass star differ from the sun's life?
valentinak56 [21]
High mass stars are far more massive than the sun, and therefore have a much larger gravitational impact. A star of 100 solar masses (100x larger than the sun) has a much shorter life than that of the sun because the forces that cause the star to expand and "burn" have to work harder to overcome the much larger gradational impact. While the sun has a life span of approximately 8 billion years; the life of a red giant of 100 solar masses would be at best a few hundred million years because gravity will overcome the counteracting force of fusion. (resulting in a supernova, black hole, white dwarf, or other astronomical anomaly.)

A region's vegetation is LEAST likely to affect which of the following characteristics of a place?
ohaa [14]

A region's vegetation is LEAST likely to affect the preservation of folk culture.

That is because the presence of vegetation in a given land, while it is featured in the local people's culture (represented in their pictorial arts or in their cuisine, for example), does not necessarily endanger the <u>preservation</u> of the culture as a whole.

However, if the economy and/or the agriculture are reliant on this type of vegetation, a change in the vegetation can have direct consequences on these activities. Similarly, if a plant is important in the people's diet, they are more likely to gather around the areas where the plant grows (distribution of population). And if the plant is less available, the population may stop thriving, reproduce less, and maybe emigrate (size of population).
