Answer: South American plate and African plate

Explanation: Tristan de cunha is a volcano that has formed approximately 150 million years back when the plates namely, the African plate and the South American plate moved in the opposite direction. Due to this diverging plate motion, the Atlantic ocean was formed.

Tristan de cunha is a stratovolcano, having a total height of about 6000 m, of which, about 4000 m lies below the sea level and 2000 m lies above the sea level. It is located at about 500 km towards east of the Mid-Atlantic ridge. The volcano is surrounded by the lava flows and pyroclastic rocks that must have erupted from the volcano in the past.

Due to decreased light penetration, which area of rivers and streams will have less diversity of plant life?
harkovskaia [24]
Due to decreased light penetration, B. THE MOUTH of the rivers and streams will have less diversity of plant life.

The decreased light penetration is brought about by the murkiness of the water due to numerous deposits of sediments. Sediments that have been collected at the water travels towards the mouth of the rivers and streams causes the water to be muddy and murky making it impossible for light to penetrate.
