If we have the intersection of the equator and the prime meridian as a starting point, and we move towards west, than the three oceans that we will encounter will be in the next order:

1. Atlantic Ocean; lies between Europe and Africa from one side (eastern borders), and North and South America on the other side (western borders). It is in fact our starting point.

2. Pacific Ocean; lies between Asia and Australia form one side (western borders), and North and South America from the other side (eastern borders).

3. Indian Ocean; lies between Southeast Asia and Australia (as its eastern borders) and Africa as its western border, and on the north it borders with South Asia.

The northernmost ocean on our planet is the Arctic Ocean, which is lying around the Arctic circle.

The southernmost ocean is the Southern Ocean which surrounds Antarctica with its waters.

The volcanoes of many Hawaiian island are extinct because
andre [41]

Answer:

b) the Pacific plate has carried the volcanoes away from the hot spot that formed them

Explanation:

The Hawaiian islands all have volcanic origin. Some are not active, while some still are. All of these islands have been active volcanoes at one point of time, and they have been created by a hot spot that lies beneath the Pacific plate. The hot spot has such a power that it actually manages to break through the central part of the plate where its crust is the strongest and densest. As the magma manages to come out above the water, it manages to create volcanic islands. The Pacific plate though is moving, it is not static, so it drags the volcanic islands away from the hot spot, causing their extinguishing. As those islands are moved away, the hot spot creates new volcanic islands, and the process constantly continuous, resulting in a volcanic island chain.

How does the vegetation surface affect the amount of runoff, and why?
Tcecarenko [31]
Vegetation catches precipitation on its leaves, slowing it down or holding it for a while. This gives the ground more time to absorb the water, so there's less runoff.
