<u>Answer:</u>

"Debt-for-nature swaps" are just "financial transactions"  from which a part of a nation's (Developing nation) foreign debt is forgiven. This is done in exchange of "local investments" for the purpose of environmental conservation measures.

<u>Explanation:</u>

  • The model for "debt-for-nature swaps", was outlined in  the EAI (Enterprise for the Americas Initiative), was extended  in the "Tropical Forest Conservation Act" (TFCA) to include the countries  present around the world  with 'tropical forests'.
  • With the help of the program, "debt can be restructured" only in eligible  countries, and 'funds' generated through this transactions are used to support programs for "conserving  tropical forests" within the 'debtor country'.
  • 124.8 million dollars has been spent under the 'TFCA' to restructure loan agreements in '13  countries' and nearly 218.4 million dollars in 'local currency' will be generated in the  next 12-26 years for 'tropical forest conservation projects'.
  • Thus, "debt for nature swaps" encourages  the protection of "tropical rain forest".

Answer:

<u>3. Hot spots , 4. S shaped mid oceanic ridge,  pacific ocean</u>.

Explanation:

  • The Hawaiian islands are located on the hotspots that are formed by the collision of two strong plates and the presence of volcanoes and high magnitude earthquakes as the pacific plate is continuously moving on the western side as its subducting under the North American plate and hence shrinking in size.
  • The s-shaped Atlantic ocean has mid atlantic ridge and as this ocean spreads the lava is up welding across the ocean floor and hence the opening of the atlantic plate is seen.
