Answer:

D. Hot mantle plumes rise toward the surface within a plate

Explanation:

Intraplate volcanism happens inside a plate, not at a plate boundary.

Thus, Options B and C are wrong.

In intraplate volcanism, a hot mantle plume slowly rises by convection from the lower mantle and creates a hot spot at the base of a plate, penetrating the crust and causing localized volcanic activity.

A. is wrong. Descending magma would not cause volcanic activity .

Which of the following hest explains why Latin America has no Truly Cold climate types?
Anika [276]

Answer:

Most of Latin America is located in a Tropical zone that receives the Sun's direct rays yearly.

Explanation:

Latin America, as a region, has almost exclusively tropical types of climates, with Truly Cold climates lacking from the region. The closest that climates get to truly cold types are the highest parts of the Andes and the southernmost part of the region in Patagonia and Tierra del Fuego, but none of them have polar-type characteristics all year round.

This climate situation in Latin America is due to its position relative to the Equator. The Equator passes through the widest part of the region, and the vast majority of the territory north and south falls into the tropical realm, and this is also helped by the fact that north and south of the Equator the territory shrinks and the influence of the ocean is greater. The majority of the region has a tropical wet climate, savanna-like grasslands, and tropical deserts.

vfiekz [6]

Answer:

northern

Explanation:

<u>Northern Hemisphere is the name to the top part of the Equator, one that goes on the north from it. </u>Earth is divided by the imaginary lined in the middle, and that line is called the Equator. The Northern Hemisphere includes the whole of North America and Europe, the bigger part of Asia, and some parts of Africa and South America.

It is much more populated than the southern hemisphere of the world, especially since countries with huge populations are on it (China, India, US). <u>Most of the counties in the Northern Hemisphere have a colder climate than countries in the Southern Hemisphere.</u> The most upper part of it, Artics, has a really cold climate, and both winters and summers are cold and snowy.

Maurya India characteristics
SpyIntel [72]

Explanation:

Mauryan empire, in ancient India, a state centred at Pataliputra (later Patna) near the junction of the Son and Ganges (Ganga) rivers. It lasted from about 321 to 185 BCE and was the first empire to encompass most of the Indian subcontinent.

Gupta Empire of Chandragupta II

After gaining power, Chandragupta II expanded the Gupta Empire through conquest and political marriages until the end of his reign in 413 CE. By 395 CE, his control over India extended coast-to-coast. Just like Ashoka, Chandragupta II made Pataliputra the capital of his empire and centralized the government there. He used tribute money from allies to fund government projects and salaries. Unlike Ashoka, Chandragupta did not rely on a network of spies or closely monitor the affairs of foreigners or allies. Instead, he let regions make their own decisions about administration and local governance.

Some scholars have argued that the Gupta empire was a golden age of India. The empire was marked by peace and public safety, and scholars flourished in this environment. Kalidasa, a poet of the time, is considered the greatest poet and dramatist of the Sanskrit language. Aryabhata, who lived during Gupta empire, was the first of the Indian mathematician-astronomers who worked on the approximation for Pi. Vishnu Sharma is thought to be the author of the Panchatantra fables, one of the most widely-translated non-religious books in history.

The Gupta empire ended with the invasion of the White Huns, a nomadic tribe of people from central Asia, at the end of the fifth century CE. Until the sixteenth century, there was no unifying empire; regional political kingdoms ruled India.
