Answer:

Options (A), (B), (C), and (D)

Explanation:

The volcanic activity refers to the eruption of magma at the surface of the ocean floor and continental land areas, forming volcanoes.

Some of the tectonic settings that are associated with volcanic activity are as follows-

Mantle plumes- These are the large uprising bodies of magma that are generated due to the formation of convection current in the mantle. These are localized body and are located away from the tectonic boundaries. For example, Hawaii is formed as the plates moved over the mantle plumes.

Continental rifts- This refers to the eruption of magma at the surface of the continents, due to the divergent motion of two continental plates. It results in the formation of a rift, rift valley and then later forms an ocean.

Island arcs- These are formed due to the collision of two oceanic plates, where the volcanoes are formed on the lighter oceanic plate due to the rising up of magma.

Continental arcs- These are formed due to the collision between an oceanic and a continental plate, where the volcanoes are formed due to the uprising of magma in the lighter continental plates.

These statements describe the Nile River.

aalyn [17]

Answer:

After reading the statement for answer, I noticed that some were true and some were false. So, I'll assume your question is related to that fact.

Here's an analysis of the statements:

Ancient civilizations once lived along the Nile.

TRUE. That's why we encounter the pyramids in that region.

Fertile lands surround the Nile.

TRUE, since the Nile is THE most important source of water in the area, it's logical for it to be the location of agriculture.

Few people live near the river.

FALSE. In Ancient times and today, the Nile shores host most of the population of Egypt, a large part of the country being essentially a chunk of the Sahara desert.

The Nile provides irrigation for surrounding farms.

TRUE. The Nile is virtually the only source of abundant water in the area.

The Nile runs through Libya and Tunisia.

FALSE. Libya and Tunisia are WEST of the country of Egypt and have nothing to do with the Nile.

So, depending if you had to find the TRUE or FALSE statements in this list, make your pick. I hope that helps.

What is the relationship between the density and position of each earth layer?

kipiarov [429]

The atmosphere and Earth's interior are layered by density. Gravity pulls more strongly on denser materials so denser materials are at the center of things. Earth's core, at its center, is denser than its crust.
