Answer:

The places mention like Tokyo, Anchorage, and Los Angeles lies along the margin of the plates or on the fault line of plates

While the places like New York, London, or Paris lies far away from these margins

Explanation:

The earthquakes are caused due to the movement of the tectonic plates and slipping of the plates.

The places mention like Tokyo, Anchorage, and Los Angeles lies along the margin of the plates or on the fault line of plates. Thus, the earthquakes are more likely to occur at these places.

While the places like New York, London, or Paris lies far away from these margins i.e more on the planar region, thus, the earthquakes are not that frequent at theses places.

Which of the following best explains why Earth is tectonically active?
IgorLugansk [536]

Answer:

C. Earth's solid surface layer sits on a moving, semiliquid layer.

Explanation:

Earth is highly tectonically active because the solid layer of the earth sits on a moving, semi-liquid layer.

The earth's crust is broken into slabs. Together with part of the upper mantle, they form a layer called the lithosphere. These solid lithospheric bodies are called tectonic plates.

  • Under the plates is a semi-molten layer under great temperature.
  • As the molten layer moves, it carries the lithosphere on top of it.
  • This causes the movement of the plates in different directions.
  • The semi-liquid layer is called the asthenosphere

This is the reason why the earth is tectonically active.
