Kilauea, above, is one of five volcanoes on the Big Island of Hawaii. They get their fuel because the island sits over a hot spo

t. Hot spots occurs at abnormally hot centers known as mantle plumes. Scientific models depict these plumes of molten rock almost like a lava lamp, with a rising bulbous head fed by a long, narrow tail that originates in the mantle. This type of volcanism, hot spot volcanism, is unique. Why?
Because the resulting volcanoes always produce islands.
B) Because it occurs where two tectonic plates converge and this is usually the site of mountain-building.
C) Because it does not occur at the boundaries of Earth’s tectonic plates, where all other volcanism occurs.
D) Because the volcanoes that occur at hot spots rarely result in mountain building; they are a destructive process.

You would need 22 more dimes to buy the final soda.

776 / 42 =18.476

View the population pyramid that reflects the current world population distribution by selecting 2015 in the drop-down menu to t
Scilla [17]

Answer:

Analyze the shape of the pyramid. What points of information from the pyramid stand out to you?

The pyramid has indeed the shape of a pyramid, although it is a bit narrow.

What stands out the most is that people younger than 24 still represent the age brackets with the largest share of the population. However, the difference is very small compared to the age brackets of people in adulthood.

People older than 60 still represent the smallest groups.

Compared to the population pyramid of 1965, what shifts in the world’s population do you notice?

The shape of the pyramid of 1965 was much broader at the bottom, this means that the lower age brackets represented a larger share of the world's population.

For example, the youngest group: those aged 0-4, represented in 1965, 14.3% of the world's population, while in 2015, they represented 9.1% of the world's population. This tells us that the world population is aging.
