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.

Blababa [14]
Well, it almost sounds like a rhetorical question. Who can? Well, probably someone higher in power with the help of technology. They already have cameras being built into the suits due to the reports of unfair treatment from police officers. We could possibly have people from the government watch over footage from the cameras or have supervisors go with them. Anyway, that's my possible answer/opinion to that subject. Maybe that can give you some insight (-:

39 points. What is a "drunken forest" and what does it have to do with the topography of Eastern Europe?
irina [24]

They are found in the tundra regions of Eastern and central Europe. Mostly covered in permafrost, in some areas this frost has melted. The Drunken forest is the reference to the shallowness of where the trees roots are and then the trees start to tip over (Like a drunk man LOL). But within the Northern Hemisphere it alters the life around it and also destroys roads and buildings
