Answer:

Aleutian  Islands

Explanation:

Aleutian islands mean the lands of Aleuts. The subduction of the Pacific plate beneath the North American plate forms the Aleutian island trenches and volcanic arc. Its a chain of 14 large volcanic islands and 55 small ones all in Alaskan states located in the north pacific ocean. Island has 57 volcanoes all in the pacific ring of fire. Geologically motion between the Kalu plate and North American plate along the margins of the Bering shelf ended in Eocene epoch and thus led to the formation of Aleutian Basin and the island arcs.

What is the estimated perimeter of an ellipse if the major axis has a length of 15 ft and minor axis has a length of 7.5 ft? rou
vlabodo [156]
The formula for the perimeter of an ellipse is given by:
P = 2π√((a² + b²)/2)

where a and b are the semi major and semi minor axes.
So, a = 7.5 and b = 3.75

Substituting the values:
P = 2π√((7.5² + 3.75²)/2)
P = 37.25 ft

The closest answer is 
C. 37.3 ft

What role does water play in the formation of stratovolcanoes?
g100num [7]
The magma forming stratovolcanoes rises when water trapped both in hydrated minerals and in the porous basalt<span> rock of the upper oceanic crust is released into </span>mantle<span> rock of the </span>asthenosphere<span> above the sinking oceanic slab. The release of water from hydrated minerals is termed "dewatering", and occurs at specific pressures and temperatures for each mineral, as the plate descends to greater depths. The water freed from the rock lowers the </span>melting point<span> of the overlying mantle rock, which then undergoes partial melting and rises due to its lighter density relative to the surrounding mantle rock, and pools temporarily at the base of the </span>lithosphere<span>. </span>
