Answer:

Earthquakes occur at transform plate boundaries.

Explanation:

The tectonic plates have different types of interactions, which is because of their different directions of movement that put them in different positions relative to each other. There are three basic types of plate boundaries, convergent, divergent, and transform, all of which can occur on land or in the ocean waters.

The transform plate boundaries are plate boundaries that are found where tectonic plates are sliding past each other. By doing so, the area near the boundary is constantly under immense pressure, which causes stress and breaking of the crust. Because of the crust's cracking, there are a lot of adjustments happening in it, meaning that a lot of earthquakes occur. The earthquakes are often not very strong, but every now and then there is an earthquake that has a catastrophic effect.

Answer:

Tropical - 1

Polar - 5

Moderate - 3

Dry - 4

Continental - 2

Explanation:

The map that is presented is a climate map, meaning that it is a map that shows the climate zones in the world. The climate differs from one area to another, and the reasons for that range from latitude, wind patterns, ocean currents, exposure to sunlight, topography, water bodies, etc.

  • The tropical climate types on this map are colored with green. They consist of tropical rainforests, dry tropical forests, and savanna, all being located close to the Equator.  
  • The dry climate types are colored pale yellowish. They are found between the tropical and modearte climates, and their main characteristics are high temperatures and very little precipitation.
  • The moderate climate types are colored orange. They are located at the mid-latitudes, having relatively good amounts of precipitation and a mild climate.
  • The continental climate types are colored yellow. They are located in the interior of the continents at the mid-latitudes, having high temperatures in summer and very low in winter, as well as being drier than the moderate climates.
  • The polar climate types are colored with white. These climates are found around the poles. They are the coldest in the world and throughout the year the temperatures tend to be very low.
