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.

Which of the following is NOT a positive affects of a nation comparative advantage on international trade?
soldier1979 [14.2K]

Answer: D) eliminates the need for trade with other nations

Explanation:

Having comparative advantage on the production of a good or service means that a country can produce that good or service cheaper and be able to exchange it for other goods and services that other countries are offering.

International trade is therefore very important to countries acting on comparative advantage because the country will not produce all that it needs but rather what it is good at producing. This means that trade with other countries is still needed to provide those goods that they need but find it expensive to produce.
