Geography

VMariaS [17]3 years ago

Answer: Subduction of Pacific plate under Phillipine plate

and, subduction of Phillipine plate beneath the Indo- Australian plate

Explanation: The formation of volcanoes at the Phillipine region is because of the collision between the Pacific plate and the Phillipine plate at the eastern side of Phillipine plate, where the denser Pacific plate gets subducted beneath the Phillipine plate. Again towards the western and the northwestern side of the Phillipine plate, the Phillipine plate is getting subducted beneath the Indo-Australian plate.

Due to this constant collision between this three plates, the volcanoes have started to form at the phillipine island and it also lies in the region of the Pacific's ring of fire, so it is a tectonically an active region.

What caused the climate of the Sahara to change beginning about 5300 years ago
murzikaleks [220]

Answer:

The orbit of the Earth

Explanation:

It is widely speculated that orbital mechanics were responsible for the period of lushness that the Sahara desert and Northern Africa lived only 6000 years ago. Due to the changes in the Earth's orbit around the Sun, it is thought that the monsoon effect (season variations in wind patterns that produce a heavy rainy season) was more pronounced across the northern latitudes and resulted in the Sahara being much wetter than it is today.
