How are plate boundaries related to volcanoes

Geography
1 answer:
Arlecino [84]3 years ago
4 0

The connection between the plate boundaries and the volcanoes lies in that that they are both part of the geological activity on the planet, and that they are both found on roughly the same places.

On the places where there's plate boundaries, apart from the continental-continental convergent plate boundaries, there's a lot of geological activity. There's cracks that form through the crust, extremely high pressures, adjustments of rocks inside the crust, opining gaps between two plates. That leads to suitable conditions for the high pressure of the mantle layer to be able to push upwards the magma through this places. The magma is very hot, and supported by the high pressure from bellow, it manages to reach the surface relatively easily. Once the magma reaches the surface, it starts to lift up the surrounding area, forming a cone shaped feature, and once the crust is not able to stretch anymore, the magma breaks through it and in the form of lava comes on the surface, forming new crust. If we take a map where the volcanoes and the plate boundaries are marked, we can easily see that their locations correspond, expect for the volcanoes on Hawaii which are formed because of a hot spot.

Marina86 [1]

Answer:

surfaces of uniform composition

Explanation:

  • Air Mass is a volume of air characterized by temperature and water vapor content and stretched for 100 kilometers.
  • Classified according to the latitude and the source regions, like cold air mass found in cooler polar regions and warm masses form over the hotter and drier regions of continents and maritime air mass are found at the seas and oceanic masses.
  • As air mass differs based on there densities they have humid and temperature conditions and can be modified in various ways, an increase or decrease of temperature is also affected by the large scale environmental conditions.

Select the reasons why most professional telescopes are reflectors rather than refractors.
Julli [10]

Answer:

d). It is easier to make a large reflecting telescope than a large refracting telescope.

f). A reflector can collect more light than a refractor.

Explanation:

A telescope is a device that is used to observe distant objects by the use of lenses and mirrors. It is also used to observe different distant objects by their reflection, absorption, emission or the reflection of the electromagnetic radiations.

Most of the professional telescopes are reflectors because :

1. The reflected telescope is able to receive more of the light when it reflects all the light falling on surface. And it is easier for making a large telescope rather then making large lenses for the refracting telescope. So it is easier to make large reflecting telescope than a large refracting telescope.

2. A reflected telescope receives all the wavelength of the light and it reflects all the light falling on the surfaces where it is refracted telescope that contains lenses cannot absorbs all the light and causes the chromatic aberration.
