sesenic [268]3 years ago

Answer:The abundance of volcanoes and earthquakes along the Ring of Fire is caused by the amount of movement of tectonic plates in the area. Along much of the Ring of Fire, plates overlap at convergent boundaries called subduction zones. A significant exception is the border between the Pacific and North American Plates.

zvonat [6]

Explanation:

Stomata are small pores found on the leaves of plants, through them occur an exchange of water and gases and <em>when moisture leaves the plants, a process called transpiration happens, this leads to a process similar to the evaporation.</em> Additionally, <em>plants release water vapor as a product of photosynthesis and help to prevent soil erosion by elevating groundwater.</em>

What landforms are created by divergent boundaries
kvasek [131]

Answer:

New crust, sometimes islands/mountains

Explanation:

Divergent boundaries are when two tectonic places are moving away from each other. In the current configuration of Earth, that happens in the ocean.

When plates move away from each other, they leave a gap.  That gap is filled with lava that solidifies quickly and forms now crust.  If the ocean floor is relatively shallow, and the lava pressure is big enough, that can lead to the formation of new islands, mountains/volcanoes on top of the gap.  That's basically how the Galapagos islands were created.
