<u>Answer:</u>

<em>Convergent boundary </em>

<em></em>

<u>Explanation:</u>

It is easy to compare the relationship that exist between earthquakes and boundaries. Through the divergent boundaries, earthquakes are usually common but are restricted to a small zone that lies close to the ridge and less than 30 km in depth. Shallow earthquakes are commonly experienced in many parts of the country.

However, in places that they are common, earthquakes are abundant and they happen to be deep on the subduction as well as the landside where they cause major destruction when they occur.

What would happen if there was no more van Allen belts?
defon

Answer:

Actually the radiation belts are a negative side effect of the earths magnetic field as well as the Suns magnetic field. As cosmic particles collide with particles in the atmosphere they decay into energetic protons while the outer belt is mostly electrons made in geomagnetic storms.

if it didn't exist we could launch more satellites or have larger space stations without the worry of perpetual radiation exposure as for earth there would be no negative consequences to the loss of the energy.
