How is the circum-pacific belt represented on the map?
shtirl [24]

The correct answer is - With full, red line.

The circum-pacific belt is represented with a full red line. The line marks all of the belt uninterruptedly, starting from New Zealand, through the islands of Southeast Asia, along the coast of East Asia, bellow the Bering Strait, and along the western coasts of North and South America, ending at Patagonia.

This line, roughly represents the tectonic plate boundaries of the Pacific plate with the other plates with which it is in contact, or rather getting submerged bellow them. Because the plate boundaries are convergent, with the Pacific plate submerging bellow the others, there's intense geologic activity, manifested through earthquakes, volcanic activity, tsunamis.

What are pros of living near a canyon
babunello [35]

Answer with Explanation:

A canyon is a natural area where both living and non-living organisms are found. Residing near it brings several benefits. <u>One of these is having the opportunity to exercise.</u> A person may access the canyon for his daily jog or walk. He may also do a little bit of hiking.<u> Another benefit is having good quality of water (free from pollutants).</u> The vegetation in the canyon prevents the urban runoff (usually from storms) from polluting the bodies of water.<u> Lastly, it gives the person a chance to see wildlife.</u> Many of the canyons are being preserved; thus, it's an opportunity to see many endangered habitats in it.

Occasionally earthquakes occur as a result of collisions along oceanic-continental convergent boundaries. Where do these earthqu
Valentin [98]

Answer:

 on land but close to oceans

Explanation:

A boundary between an oceanic plate and a continental plate will be near a coastline., not "far from the coast" or "in the middle of oceans."

Often, mountains are also near that boundary, but mountains may also exist elsewhere, so "anywhere there are mountains" is not an apt description.

The best choice is "on land but close to oceans."

_____

<em>Additional comment</em>

The 2011 Tohoku earthquake near Japan was offshore by 67 km. It came from the subduction zone where the Pacific plate dives beneath the Eurasian plate. It is an example of a plate boundary quake that occurred offshore, rather than on land.
