Lapita people and Polynesians were considered nomads before,
meaning no permanent settlement. These
people searched for places suitable for the type of living that they have. For example, that who settled in farmlands
and have animals to raise finds places suitable for farming. Others go near the
sea or rivers in order to go fishing.
Found at the lowest point of a large drainage area, these seasonal, marsh-like ponds collect and store water from rain and runoff. Unlike vernal pools, playas generally fill when temperatures are unsuitable for plant growth, and often the water is salty, alkali or both.

Answer:
The amount of tectonic activity along the margin
.
Explanation:
<u>Margins are categorized as passive when the tectonic activity along it is poor.</u> This is manifested through rare to non-existent <em>earthquakes</em> and <em>volcano eruptions</em> in the area.
On the other hand, <u>active margins are characterized by frequent tectonic activity.</u> This means <em>mountain formation, earthquakes, and volcano activity</em> are not strange here.
Half the mountain collapsed.
