Islands form an arc when two oceanic plates converge (come together, approach)  creating a row of islands above the overriding plate. The older, heaver plate gets forced below the lighter plate. That old plate heats up and descends into the lithosphere. The edge of that plate begins to melt as it gets deeper into the earth. The melting plate feeds magma chambers that supply volcanic islands that forms an arc <span>when the molten rock erupts onto the ocean floor of the overriding plate.</span>

Taya2010 [7]

Answer:

Cold weather

Explanation:

The reason that Alec should limit his driving time/distance in all of the following areas or conditions except for cold weather is because of a concept called temperature inversion. Temperature inversion means that in winter season there is a warm layer of air trapped between two cold layers of air. This happens in winter as the air at altitude is always cold but now the surface temperature or air is also cold. Hence, the warm air above the surface and at lower altitude traps air pollutants contributing to smog occurrence. This is a natural phenomenon and therefore, Alec cannot reduce the chance that he will contribute to a major smog occurrence during cold weather by limiting his driving.

Paul [167]

Answer: Experience more stress than usual.

Hospital procedures often focus on the technical and physical aspects of patients' care alone. Usually, the hospital staff don't pay enough attention to the emotional aspects of hospitalization; they fail at explaining to their patients the purposes of testings and medications they are being subjected to. Also, the wait, delay, and communication problems can lead them to feel distressed and to experience a lack of control over their lives.
