Why are volcanoes not found at transform boundaries?
irina1246 [14]

The transform fault boundaries are not having the same characteristics as the convergent or divergent plate boundaries. The movement at the convergent and divergent plate boundaries is caused by pressure from below, thus vertical one, and also when they collide one of them moves diagonally downwards, or rather subducts. That leaves gaps at the plate boundaries and big cracks through which the magma can penetrate. At the transform boundaries it is a different situation. The plates engaged in this type of boundary are neither moving away from each other, nor they are colliding, but instead they slide past each other. By sliding past each other, the plates actually close in any gap that might have enables for magma to come out on the surface, so we don't see volcanoes along this type of boundaries. What is typical about the transform plate boundaries is the formation of faults that form because of the stress, and are parallel to the boundary.

Which of the following statements about the migration of workers to other countries is false?
OLEGan [10]

Answer:

Remittances represent a capital flow from the home country to the host country is a false statement.

Explanation:

Remittances represent a capital flow from the host country to the home country. This happens fairly often, and most found among migrants that have moved to another country to work by themselves, while their families have remained in the home country.

This process is positive on one side and negative on another. The positive aspect of it is that the migrants support their families and enable them a better life. The negative aspect is that they damage gradually the economy of the host country in which they work, as they take money out of it and send them to another country. If there is a higher percentage of people doing this in the long run, the economies of the host countries will face difficulties and will start to decline, which is not good for anyone.
