<span>Seamounts form by submarine volcanism. After repeated eruptions, the volcano builds upwards into shallower water. If a seamount eventually breaches the water's surface, it becomes an island. ... They may form in groups or clusters, or can be found aligned in submarine volcanic mountain chains known as oceanic ridges.</span>
Answer:
Subduction is a geological process that takes place at convergent boundaries of tectonic plates where one plate moves under another and is forced to sink due to high gravitational potential energy into the mantle. Regions where this process occurs are known as subduction zones.
Answer:
GIVEN AS BELOW.
Explanation:
Environmental geology is the study of the interaction of humans with their environment, including the biosphere, hydrosphere, and lithosphere, to minimize the possible damages that result in a modified environment. It studies rocks and minerals. Studies fossils and their traces.
The biosphere includes soil, rocks and biota, plant and animal life.
A tentative explanation builds on strong supporting evidence of a hypothesis.
