Answer:
Correct answer is: Due to interaction between Pacific and North American plate.
Explanation:
Mountain Redoubt is located in south Alaska. Mentioned mountain is in the vicinity of convergent plate boundary between North American and Pacific plate.
Convergent boundary means that those plates are <em>colliding</em>. One plate always slides beneath another, and in this case Pacific plate slides beneath North American. Area of collision is known as subduction zone.
Pacific plate is oceanic plate, and North American is continental plate. Oceanic plates <u>always slides</u> beneath continental ones. Reason for that is due to their density. Oceanic plates are denser, so they go under continental ones.
Pacific and North American plate interaction is typicall oceanic-continetal boundary where <em>earthquakes</em> (seismic activity) and <em>active volcanoes</em> are common. Some of the strongest earthquakes happened in this area. That was in 1964 in Prince William Sound in the south coast of Alaska. Magnitude was 9.2M, second strongest quake ever recorded in world's history.
Answer:
Option (4)
Explanation:
The radiation are defined as the energy that is liberated from atoms in the form of electromagnetic waves or minute particles of matter. For example, the radiations that are emitted from the sun in the form of light.
This radiations are mainly of 3 types. This includes-
(a) Alpha Radiation- These are the short ranged particles and are very heavy. This radiations cannot penetrate the human skins but they can cause harmful diseases.
(b) Beta Radiation- These are also the short-ranged particles but they lighter. This radiations can penetrate the human skin upto the depth where the new skins are created.
(c) Gamma Radiation- These are highly dangerous and are penetrable to the human skin. This type of radiations are often used for the medical purposes.
Thus, the correct answer is option (4).
