Where do tectonic activities such as earthquakes or volcanic eruptions tend to occur

Geography
1 answer:
Lelu [443]3 years ago

Tectonic activities occur mostly at or near the areas near the surface of the earth where tectonic plates meet. These plates are like slowly shifting pieces to a puzzle that makes up the earth's outer skin. <span>Activity can also occur where the Earth's liquid mantle comes particularly close to the surface. </span>

The product of my number and twice my number is 128 what is half my number
Ad libitum [116K]

Let's call your number n. Twice your number is 2n. The product of your number and twice your number (so n multiplied by 2n) is 128.

Set up an equation:

n × 2n = 128

2n² = 128

Divide both sides by 2:

n² = 64

Square root both sides to isolate n:

n = 8


The question asks for half your number, so just half 8:

8 ÷ 2 = 4.


Half your number is 4.

What are common tectonic settings associated with volcanic activity?
algol [13]

Answer: Mantle plumes, Continental rifts, island arcs, and Continental arcs

Explanation:

Mantle plume is the mechanism of convecting abnormally hot rocks within the Earth's mantle. The plume head partly melts on reaching shallow depths, the plume is often invoked as the cause of volcanic hotspots.

Continental rift refers to the belt of the continental lithosphere where the extensional deformation (rifting) is taking place. Continental rift zones have important consequences and geological features, and if the rifting is successful, leads to the formation of new ocean basins.

Island arcs are long chains of active volcanoes with intense seismic activity found along convergent tectonic plate boundaries. Most island arcs originate on oceanic crust and have resulted from the descent of the lithosphere into the mantle along the subduction zone. They are the principal way by which continental growth is achieved.

Continental arc is a type of volcanic arc occurring as an "arc-shape" topographic high region along a continental margin. The continental arc is formed where two tectonic plates meet, and where one plate has continental crust and the other plate has an oceanic crust along the line of plate convergence, and a subduction zone develops.

discuss the historical significance of the Turkish Straits and the Tigris and Euphrates rivers. They all are waterways, but they
gregori [183]

Answer:

Until early 1970's the Turkish Straits were known as a rich and productive marine area. The Straits also used to play an important role as a biological corridor between the Mediterranean and the Black Sea, and acted as an acclimatization zone for the Mediterranean species.

The Tigris and Euphrates rivers provided Mesopotamia with enough fresh water and fertile soil to allow ancient people to develop irrigation and grow supplies surplus.

The role the Tigris and Euphrates river played in the development of civilization is that they enriched the soil and helped farmers grow supplies surpluses.
