Answer:
There is a gradual decline of volcanic age form the continental to the oceanic. As some of the volcanoes get eroded away.
Explanation:
- The hotspot volcanoes are transported by plate movements as they move away form the mantel plumes the hotspot volcanism decreases. Then eventually the hotspots become extinct.
- Thus on the basis of age the youngest are near the places active tectonism where the magma is directly ground underneath the ground surface.
Answer:
<u>D. Gradient decreases, discharge increases.</u>
Explanation:
- As steam is a body of water that carries rock particles and dissolved ions, discharge is measured in terms of volume/time (m3/sec). So when a river discharges its flow from a headwater to its mouth the velocity increases in the downstream direction.
- Thus the river load-carrying capacity increases downwards and so does the discharge rate. The discharge rate can also be influenced due to the rainfall patterns, volume of water and velocity of flow.
- Rock types also impact the streamflow if it is a porous rock, the surface will absorb more of moisture content and comparative more will be the water penetration towers the mouth of the flow.

Explanation:
After Fidel Castro came to power in Cuba, he did two things that upset the United States immediately, he implemented the communist doctrine in the country, and he allied with the Soviet Union.
The implementation of communism in Cuba meant that everything that was private went into the possession of the government, including lot of companies that were owned by US citizens. That move was seen as robbery by the United States, as their citizens literary got their possessions confiscated without being paid anything.
The alliance with the Soviet Union upset and scared the United States. That move meant that their arch enemy will have influence over the island, and also probably make a military base just right of the coast of the United States, so that put them in a very bad tactical and strategic position.
