What's porosity?

Geography
2 answers:
Leviafan [203]3 years ago

Answer:

D. A measure of the amount of open space within unconsolidated sediment or rock

Explanation:

The porosity is a measure that tells us how much of a rock or sediment is actually an open space. This is a very important characteristic of the rocks and soils, as it determines how much, how easily, and to what depth a water can go inside the rocks or soils. Pretty much all rocks, and all of the soils underlie under this measurement, as most of them have at least very small open spaces in them, while some have much larger and more prominent spaces that are easily noticeable.

What are common tectonic settings associated with volcanic activity?
algol [13]

Answer: Mantle plumes, Continental rifts, island arcs, and Continental arcs

Explanation:

Mantle plume is the mechanism of convecting abnormally hot rocks within the Earth's mantle. The plume head partly melts on reaching shallow depths, the plume is often invoked as the cause of volcanic hotspots.

Continental rift refers to the belt of the continental lithosphere where the extensional deformation (rifting) is taking place. Continental rift zones have important consequences and geological features, and if the rifting is successful, leads to the formation of new ocean basins.

Island arcs are long chains of active volcanoes with intense seismic activity found along convergent tectonic plate boundaries. Most island arcs originate on oceanic crust and have resulted from the descent of the lithosphere into the mantle along the subduction zone. They are the principal way by which continental growth is achieved.

Continental arc is a type of volcanic arc occurring as an "arc-shape" topographic high region along a continental margin. The continental arc is formed where two tectonic plates meet, and where one plate has continental crust and the other plate has an oceanic crust along the line of plate convergence, and a subduction zone develops.

South Asia is actually a ____________, a large landmass within a continent
bulgar [2K]
I don't know whether this was one of your options, but South Asia can be very well characterized as  a Sub-continent.

In fact, it's is commonly referred to as "the Indian Subcontinent" or even simply "Subcontinent". One of the reason for a distinction of this part of the land is that it lies on a different tectonic plate.
