Compact: closely and neatly packed together; dense
Prorupted: an extension that protrudes from the main territory. Thailand is an example of a prorupted state.
Elongated: Something that's elongated is stretched out, or extended so that it's longer than usual. Some painters, like El Greco, are known for their strange, elongated figures.
Fragmented: an adjective that describes things that have been reduced or divided into fragments—pieces that have been broken off of or detached from the whole. The related adjective fragmentary means something different: consisting of or reduced to fragments—disconnected or incomplete, as in fragmentary evidence.
Perforated: pierced with a hole or holes
Explanation:
Volcanoes play an important role in creating land since they are the sources of magma, which once above ground normally cools to create new land. In the ocean, this land normally forms at divergent and convergent boundaries or hot spots. At divergent boundaries (where two plates move apart), magma constantly erupts along a trench deep below the ocean's surface. This magma rarely piles upward and instead is pushed to both sides of the trench. This is how new seafloor forms. Convergent boundaries can create island arcs like Indonesia as magma erupts bit by bit. Hot spots occur in the middle of plates. They are instances where the mantle pierces through the crust and begins to erupt directly onto to seafloor. Over time, these eruptions will pile up and create underwater volcanoes until they potentially make it above sea level, thereby forming an island. This is how Hawaii was and continues to be formed.
Clear-cutting will result in the suffering and death of many of the animals who live in the rainforest. It will adversely affect the hunting territories of indigenous forest-dwelling people. Moreover, it will destroy the whole forest ecosystem. Lastly, it will result in the extinction of animal and plant species whose generic material is essential to future drug.
