Coals occur in seams. why?​

Geography
1 answer:
valentinak56 [21]3 years ago
6 0

Explanation:

Coal seams are formed from dead and decaying organic matter. Generally, this matter came from ancient peat bogs that died and fell into shallow, stagnant waters. As this material decayed, it became peat over time. As this peat was buried under sediment, the temperature increased and the pressure became greater.

Coal seams originate and are formed by the consolidation of biota, minerals, and natural chemicals through geologic time. Compression, heat, sedimentation, erosion, and chemical energy are agents of the coal formation process.

What is the cause of volcanic activity in New Zealand?
andreyandreev [35.5K]

Answer:

Explanation:

New Zealand is located in one of the most tectonically active regions of the world, the pacific ring of fire.

Volcanic activities is produced from uprising magma through the earth. They usually occur around plate boundaries on the surface of the earth.

New Zealand sits around an area where the Pacific plate subducts under the Indo-Australian plate. As the subduction occurs, the rocks beneath undergoes partial melting leading to the formation of magma. The magma reaches the surface in landward regions away from the subduction margins and series of volcanic arcs can form. These series of volcanoes typifies the tectonic setting of New Zealand and it is responsible for the vast volcanic activity in the region.
