Answer:

<u>divergent plate</u>

Explanation:

  • The red sea represents a rift zone where the two tectonic plates spread from the centers. That is the African and the Arabian plate. It forms an extension of the dead sea transform fault system.  
  • Magnetic anomalies suggest that this plate spreads at a rate of 1 cm/year. And is followed by a major seafloor spreading and the rift zone includes a basaltic strata volcano located at the northwest passage of the red sea.

Answer:

Denver

Explanation:

Denver, Colorado, is the city from the list that has the least chances to have a tropical wet/dry climate. This city actually has summers that are considered as mild, with the temperatures being in the the lower 30's C degrees, while the night temperatures drop to twice less than the daily temperatures. The winters on the other hand, are cold and snowy, which is not a trait of the tropical climates, but instead of the continental climate types, with the temperatures regularly being bellow the freezing point throughout the winter months.

The many volcanoes located along the edge of the Pacific Ocean make up the Ring of Fire. How does subduction play a role in the
sertanlavr [38]
<span>The most volcanically active belt on Earth is known as the Ring of Fire, a region of subduction zone volcanism surrounding the Pacific Ocean. Subduction zone volcanism occurs where two plates are converging on one another. One plate containing oceanic lithosphere descends beneath the adjacent plate, thus consuming the oceanic lithosphere into the earth's mantle. This on-going process is called subduction. As the descending plate bends downward at the surface, it creates a large linear depression called an oceanic trench. These trenches are the deepest topographic features on the earth's surface.

</span>
<span>The crustal portion of the subducting slab contains a significant amount of surface water, as well as water contained in hydrated minerals within the seafloor basalt. As the subducting slab descends to greater and greater depths, it progressively encounters greater temperatures and greater pressures which cause the slab to release water into the mantle wedge overlying the descending plate. Water has the effect of lowering the melting temperature of the mantle, thus causing it to melt. The magma produced by this mechanism varies from basalt to andesite in composition. It rises upward to produce a linear belt of volcanoes parallel to the oceanic trench, as exemplified in the above image of the Aleutian Island chain. The chain of volcanoes is called an island arc. If the oceanic lithosphere subducts beneath an adjacent plate of continental lithosphere, then a similar belt of volcanoes will be generated on continental crust. </span>
