<span>The reason for this activity is because of where Japan is situated, on the joint of four different plates.</span>
Answer:
active margins :- g. mid-ocean ridge, a. formation of igneous rock, b. submarine lava eruptions,
passive margins:- d. gentle continental slope, f. few or no earthquakes, h. continental rise, k. broad continental shelf, l. can be adjacent to thick continental crust, j. formation of sedimentary rock
both:- e. accretionary prism, c. trench etc.
Explanation:
- An active margin is found at the leading edges of the continents where it collided with the oceanic plate. It is commonly the site of tectonic activity. Earthquakes volcanoes and the mountain building and the formation of new igneous rocks.
- While the passive margins include the continental rise abyssal plains and few or nor earthquake. formation of sedimentary rocks. Broad shelves and thick crust.

Answer:
Green revolution, great increase in production of food grains (especially wheat and rice) that resulted in large part from the introduction into developing countries of new, high-yielding varieties, beginning in the mid-20th century. Its early dramatic successes were in Mexico and the Indian subcontinent. The new varieties require large amounts of chemical fertilizers and pesticides to produce their high yields, raising concerns about cost and potentially harmful environmental effects. Poor farmers, unable to afford the fertilizers and pesticides, have often reaped even lower yields with these grains than with the older strains, which were better adapted to local conditions and had some resistance to pests and diseases.

Answer:
Man needs the lithosphere because it provides us with forests, grazing ground for agriculture, and human settlements, as well as a rich source of minerals. The lithosphere is made up of several types of rocks, including igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic rocks, and it aids in the provision of essential nutrients to plants.
