Technology allows us to extend our own ideas into the physical world using tools and generally, the goal of this is to improve the quality of life for ourselves or others. <span>One of the downsides to adapting technology to improve our lives is that in the process, we very often hurt something else such as the ecosystem and in turn, this hurts our quality of life.</span>
If this is a true or false question, the answer is false. United States do share land borders with Mexico as well as Canada along with Russia, Bahamas and Cuba. United States then is north of Canada and south of Mexico. Hope this is the answer.
Answer: Mantle plumes, Continental rifts, island arcs, and Continental arcs
Explanation:
Mantle plume is the mechanism of convecting abnormally hot rocks within the Earth's mantle. The plume head partly melts on reaching shallow depths, the plume is often invoked as the cause of volcanic hotspots.
Continental rift refers to the belt of the continental lithosphere where the extensional deformation (rifting) is taking place. Continental rift zones have important consequences and geological features, and if the rifting is successful, leads to the formation of new ocean basins.
Island arcs are long chains of active volcanoes with intense seismic activity found along convergent tectonic plate boundaries. Most island arcs originate on oceanic crust and have resulted from the descent of the lithosphere into the mantle along the subduction zone. They are the principal way by which continental growth is achieved.
Continental arc is a type of volcanic arc occurring as an "arc-shape" topographic high region along a continental margin. The continental arc is formed where two tectonic plates meet, and where one plate has continental crust and the other plate has an oceanic crust along the line of plate convergence, and a subduction zone develops.
Answer:
On their mode of formation
Explanation:
The classification of rocks into three major categories is strictly based on their mode of formation.
Rocks are naturally formed aggregates of minerals. Based on mode of formation, they can be classified into;
- Igneous rocks: these rocks are formed by the cooling and solidification of molten magma.
- Sedimentary rocks are formed by the compaction and lithification of sediment.
- Metamorphic rocks: these are changed rocks that have been formed by subjecting rocks to pressure and temperature conditions which causes an alteration of their minerology.
I wanna say D.
Sorry if I’m wrong:(
