5 0

No, this is false although it's not very far from it!

Etymology means the study of the meaning of the word, and especially the way this meaning has changed over time. So the fact that a word has a German origin (for example Bratwurst) would be the etymology of this word

Anit [1.1K]

Answer: (C) A hot spot

Explanation:

A hot spot is created in the volcanic peaks and it is basically developed over the plume. The mantle plumes are the areas of the up-welling and the hot mantle areas. Magma created by the problem area ascends through the unbending plates in the lithosphere layer.

It produces the dynamic volcano at the surface of the earth. In the mantle area, the hot spot are generated in which the rocks are get melted for generating the magma. The hot spot generated the heat are basically comes from the middle of the earth.

murzikaleks [220]

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.

Subtropical / tropical wetlands are wetlands found along the coasts of subtropical or tropical regions. The Everglades in Florida, for example, is a well-known example of subtropical wetlands. These wetlands are often, but not always, dominated by mangrove trees. The

Northern Hemisphere includes North America, northern South America, Europe, the northern two-thirds of Africa, and much of Asia. The Southern Hemisphere includes most of South America, Africa, Australia, one-third of Antarctica, and some Asian islands.

The Northern Hemisphere refers to half of the planets north of the equator, and the Southern Hemisphere includes all planets south of the equator. Some continents pass through both hemispheres, but Europe and North America are all in the northern hemisphere.
