Answer:

As explained below.

Explanation:

  • The distribution of earthquakes defines the boundary of the earth tectonic plates as earthquakes have the seismic energy that gets transferred to the landscape and as result to this the transform, divergent and convergent boundaries along the plate margins can be found.
  • Deep focus earthquakes are those that have shallow bases and origin in trenches where the lands are subdued under the plates and are associated with prominent oceanic features like the mid-oceanic ridges, deep-sea ridges, and seamounts, guyots and canyons, etc.
  • The ocean floor of convergence that creates the deep-seated earthquake as being collided with land and an oceanic plate or being collided with an oceanic and oceanic plate boundary. Physical features are faults and rift valleys.
  • The tonga trench is located near the tonga island and in the southwestern pacific ocean, is the second deepest trench on earth. Pacific plate is being subdued under this tench with an in convergence rate of 15 cm/year. Thus the rigid slab of lithosphere plate is being pulled towards this zone of convergence.

3) What are the implications of conventional agricultural methods on the environment, such as monoculture, chemical and fossil f
Nutka1998 [239]

Answer:

3) Conventional methods have a bad impact on environment because they usually don't consider the quality of the soil. Monoculture, known as the plantation of one single crop for a long time and in a large area, is very harmful for the land because it takes all the nutrients from the soil, usually making it useless for future crops.

For pesticides and fertilizers, is important to understand that it doesn't only affect the plants that you want to grow, but all the nature living around the plantation. It affects the wild plants, the non-harmful insects and animals, and of course, it pollutes the soil and any water that is nearby. It also polutes the air.

The GMOS also threathen the lives of all animals and plants around the plantation. It could change the characteristics of the soil microbial population, that carries nitrogen and other essential elements. And one of the most known, it could affect human beings by eating the genetically modified food or by breathing air contamined with the GMO products.

4) To improve your health and help the environment, one of the main things you have to do is keep an organic diet. Usually organic produts are a little more expensier and sometimes they don't last as long as the regular ones, but it is a good trade when it counts to your health and estimulates farmers to keep an organic plantation to help the environment. Try keeping an eye on the label, if it says non GMO and organic, it is better for you. Usually what helps the environment and whats healthier for us goes together, because usually what comes straight from nature (if its not poisonous or anything like that) is whats best for us.
