Why do many oceanic volcanoes occur as long lines of volcanoes that are active at only one end? O The lithosphere moves over a s

table hotspot in the mantle. The mantle convection cell under the crust carries the magma source from one end of the line of volcanoes t O The mantle plume that feeds the volcano rotates around the Earth's core, tracing new volcanoes as it does O The spreading lithosphere pushes the underlying magma source across the ocean floor. O The active volcanoes are gradually moving away from the oceanic ndge.

Answer:

The active volcanoes are gradually moving away from the oceanic ridge.

Explanation:

  • Many oceanic volcanoes occur as long lines of the active end of volcanoes as here in the mid-oceanic ridges the plate is pushed far away from the ridge surface of the earth as these tend to move out in the direction of the movement of the plates.
  • Thus the volcanoes are generally found near the active zones or regions of the tectonic plate and associated with the earthquakes occurring on the fault line or shear lines of the plates.
  • Spreading of the ridges as a result of the seafloor spreading takes place and the mantel and plates from below are the driving forces that make the volcanoes and convection current that rises through the mantle pushes or spread the volcanoes to the sides like seen in the ring of fire.

Briefly describe how buoyancy, isostatic equilibrium, and epeirogenic processes are related.
nataly862011 [7]
<h2><u>Relation between buoyancy, isostatic equilibrium, and epeirogenic processes</u></h2>

                   Buoyant force or buoyancy, is the force exerted in an object which is fully or partially occupied in a fluid. Isostatic equilibrium is the gravitational equilibrium between earth's crust and underlying mantle. while epeirogenic process is the depression of land having long wavelengths.

Both epeirogenic process and  isostatic equilibrium uses the principle of buoyancy. The crust of the Earth or the lithosphere floats over underlying mantle at an elevation depending upon its density and thickness.

Why topics are called Cancer Copics Capricorn
Fiesta28 [93]
E Tropic of Capricorn or Southern tropic is one of the five major circles of latitude that mark maps of the Earth. It is the parallel of latitude at 23° 26′ 22″ south of the Equator, and is the farthest southern latitude that the sun can appear directly overhead, occurring on the December solstice. Its northern hemisphere equivalent is the Tropic of Cancer. Latitudes south of the Tropic of Capricorn are in the Southern Temperate Zone. North of this line are the Tropics. 

<span>The Tropic of Capricorn is so named because about 2000 years ago the sun was entering the constellation Capricornus on the December solstice. In modern times the sun appears in the constellation Sagittarius during this time. The change is due to precession of the equinoxes. </span>

<span>The Tropic of Cancer (cancer is Latin for crab), or Northern tropic is one of the five major circles of latitude that mark maps of the Earth. It is the parallel of latitude that lies currently 23° 26′ 22″ north of the Equator. </span>
