Answer:

"Island ArcsIsland arcs are long, curved chains of oceanic islands associated with seismic activity and mountain-building processes at certain plate boundaries. They occur where oceanic tectonic plates collide. Along one side of these island arcs, there is usually a long, narrow deep-sea trench.At island arcs, the denser plate is subducted and is forced into the partially molten mantle under the less dense plate. The islands are composed of the extrusive igneous rocks basalt and andesite. The basalt originates most likely from the plastic mantle. The andesite originates most likely from the melting of parts of the descending plate and sediments that had accumulated on its surface.Which list identifies minerals present in andesite from the greatest percentage by volume to the least percentage by volume? "
As the different situations and events gave rise to the seven different tectonic plates which comprises the over all structure of the planet, as there are a number of geological sites that took there shape because of the movement of the different planetary regions, layers, or the components which makes up the deep down trenches and the islands along with the different volcanic hotspots.
Mostly the subduction region is only due the movement or the sliding of the different tectonic plates which gives rise to a way different catastrophic events like the creation of the seismic way may generate the earth quakes inside the different regions.
Along, with that the different climates across the globe are also due the difference in such geological sites.

1. How does the Pampas region impact economic development in Latin America?

AVprozaik [17]

Answer:

The Pampas region has a big economic impact as it is the agricultural heart of Latin America.

Explanation:

The Pampas is a region that is mostly comprised of lowlands. Naturally, it is a biome where grasses dominate. The soil is highly fertile and the region as it is is relatively large. Humans have easily seen the potential of the Pampas and spend no time converting it in an agricultural landscape.

Latin America is a region that heavily relies on agriculture, both farming and raising cattle. Large, relatively flat land with fertile soil is excellent for farming, so the Pampas has been heavily exploited for the large-scale production of agricultural goods. Also, raising cattle is among the highest in the world in Latin America and it is constantly growing as a sector, and grasslands are needed to sustain the cattle, so the Pampas again is the place to exploit for it. While this has a big and positive economic impact, the effects on the flora and fauna of the Pampas have been devastating, to say the least.

In a market economy, what determines for whom goods are produded?

Galina-37 [17]

Answer:

C. supply and demand

Explanation:

In the system of the market economy, the decisions about economic processes are based on the of the people (how much they need and buy something) and the needs of the supply (needs for natural resources, goods, and things which can be bought).

A market economy also means the pricing of the goods is based on the demand for them. If products are not in demand and bought by the customers, it’s the price and supply goes down. Once the demand for the product grows, the profit is made.

The final goal is the price which is equilibrium, meaning goods are supplied exactly by the demand and with the fixed price that makes the process possible. This equilibrium should also provide the profit for the supplier.
