It is clear that from 2006 to 2012, the average insolation reflected by the Greenland ice sheets is decreasing. This indicates that each year, the amount of solar radiation that the ice sheets are able to reflect is decreasing. The level of insolation reflected is dependent on the area of ice sheets capable of reflecting the solar energy. Since the insolation reflected has decreased, this may mean that the area of the ice sheets has decreased as well.

garri49 [273]

Answer:

The correct answer is C. 2, 4, 1, 3.

Explanation:

The Middle East is a region that has been having a lot of problems, especially in the last century and continuing in the present. There have been multiple factors that have led to this, varying from politics, religion, resources, the formation of new states, the terrorist organizations, etc.

The first major problems ocurred after the partitioning of the region, where the countries that ruled over it set borders in accordance with their views and interests. This led to a lot of disputes over territory, but also multiple ethnic groups being left without their own country.

After that, the granting of Israel to the Jews by the international community led to huge tensions. Several wars were waged between Israel and several Arab countries, where the new and small country managed to sustain the attacks and win each of those wars. The tensions are still present though and always on the verge of escalation.

The war in Iraq, in the early 2000s, happened because of allegations of using biochemical weapons, genocide, dictatorship, and terrorist organization layers. It led to the total destabilization of Iraq, but also led to larger-scale destabilization later on in the region.

Because the majority of the leaders in the Middle East are dictators, with people living in fear and being very restricted, decided to rebel. This led to mass rebellions against the governments in numerous countries, some of which were successful, while some not some much.

Which of the following are common tectonic settings associated with volcanic activity?Select all that apply.
bagirrra123 [75]

Answer:

Options (A), (B), (C), and (D)

Explanation:

The volcanic activity refers to the eruption of magma at the surface of the ocean floor and continental land areas, forming volcanoes.

Some of the tectonic settings that are associated with volcanic activity are as follows-

  • Mantle plumes- These are the large uprising bodies of magma that are generated due to the formation of convection current in the mantle. These are localized body and are located away from the tectonic boundaries. For example, Hawaii is formed as the plates moved over the mantle plumes.
  • Continental rifts- This refers to the eruption of magma at the surface of the continents, due to the divergent motion of two continental plates. It results in the formation of a rift, rift valley and then later forms an ocean.
  • Island arcs- These are formed due to the collision of two oceanic plates, where the volcanoes are formed on the lighter oceanic plate due to the rising up of magma.
  • Continental arcs- These are formed due to the collision between an oceanic and a continental plate, where the volcanoes are formed due to the uprising of magma in the lighter continental plates.

Why are composite volcanoes more steep than shield volcanoes?
Blababa [14]
They have less-runny lava, meaning that it doesn't travel as far before cooling, meaning that the layers build up more steeply, but don't go out as far. You also get layers of ash on the composite volcano to help build it up too
