Mount st helens plates involved in its formation

Geography
1 answer:
n200080 [17]3 years ago
6 0

The tectonic plates that are involved in the formation and activity of Mount St Helens are the North American tectonic plate, and the Juan de Fuca tectonic plate.

For millions of years, the Juan de Fuca plate has been subducting bellow the North American plate. Because of this subduction, the surrounding area has started lifting up, creating mountain ranges. One of those mountain ranges are the Cascade Mountains, which are the parent mountain of the St Helens volcano.

This area is known for volcanic activity, falling under the Cascade Arc, and being part of the Pacific Ring of Fire. Because of the rising magma from bellow, numerous volcanoes have formed, and one of them is St Helens. It is a very young volcano, unlike the others, and it has only formed around 40,000 years ago. It is a volcano that has a bad reputation because of the damage it has done in its 1980 eruption, when over 50 people died, and very big material damage was done in the surrounding area.

How did the US and the Allies succeed or<br> fail at fighting a "Just War”?
otez555 [7]
Just war theory deals with the justification of how and why wars are fought. The justification can be either theoretical or historical. The theoretical aspect is concerned with ethically justifying war and the forms that warfare may or may not take. The historical aspect, or the “just war tradition,” deals with the historical body of rules or agreements that have applied in various wars across the ages. For instance, international agreements such as the Geneva and Hague conventions are historical rules aimed at limiting certain kinds of warfare which lawyers may refer to in prosecuting transgressors, but it is the role of ethics to examine these institutional agreements for their philosophical coherence as well as to inquire into whether aspects of the conventions ought to be changed. The just war tradition may also consider the thoughts of various philosophers and lawyers through the ages and examine both their philosophical visions of war’s ethical limits (or absence of) and whether their thoughts have contributed to the body of conventions that have evolved to guide war and warfare.

"Which is characteristic of globular star clusters"?
Andrew [12]

Answer:

Old age and hundreds of thousands of stars, only about 30 ly wide

Explanation:

A globular cluster is a collection of stars which are bound by a very strong force known as gravity (gravity is the force of attraction between two bodies). The gravity then causes globular clusters to have a spherical shape with a high number of stars closer to the center (where the gravity is strongest).

These stars are usually very old and the diameter of the clusters are usually only 30 lightyears wide because of the strong gravity.
