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.

Which of the following statements describes the process of deposition? A. The surface area of rocks decreases because of acid ra
omeli [17]

The correct answer is - D. Materials are transported through erosion and are dropped in another location.

The process of deposition basically is a process in which the materials are left, dropped, deposited somewhere. This process needs two other processes to occur first in order for it to be possible. The first one is the weathering, the process in which the materials are broken down into smaller pieces. The second one is the erosion, the process in which the material is moved away from its initial location. Once the material is moved by certain agents (wind, water for example) it will eventually stop moving because of the loss of force of the agent. Once the agent losses its force it will not be able to carry the material anymore, thus the material will be dropped off, or rather deposited at those places.

enot [183]

Answer:

D. elevation

Explanation:

  • The best climate control elevation that clarifies the difference in vegetation and terrain between the two sides of the mountain - the basin floors beyond Leeward side.
  • The height determines the temperature of the area, which determines the vegetation. As more rainfall is recorded towards the wind, evergreen trees are also found there.
