Geography

Answer:

The Hawaiian Islands were formed by such a hot spot occurring in the middle of the Pacific Plate. While the hot spot itself is fixed, the plate is moving. So, as the plate moved over the hot spot, the string of islands that make up the Hawaiian Island chain were formed.

On the Earth's outer crust, there are plates of rock that move called tectonic plates. When the Earth's tectonic plates come together, they form volcanoes. The islands of Hawaii actually sit in the middle of the Pacific Plate on a hot spot.

A hot spot is an area that is so warm that magma, or lava that sits inside of the rocks in a volcano, erupts and falls to the bottom of the ocean. Since Hawaii is located on a hot spot, it is very common for volcanoes to form and erupt there.

Over millions of years, five volcanoes erupted to create the eight islands of Hawaii. These volcanoes are Mauna Kea, Mauna Loa, Hualalai, Kilauea, and Kohala.

Why are floods in urban areas particularly dangerous?
Igoryamba
In urban areas, there are more people, therefore not a lot of farmland. (that eliminates C) If city buildings don't allow flood waters to recede, that could be dangerous in many ways. (So A is still a reasonable answer) If most cities are built in flood zones, there should be some form of shelter if houses aren't safe. Pollutants and diseases being carried in water are already dangerous, but easier to spread with rapid flood waters that are sweeping everywhere. So your best answer would be either A or B.

From the locations of past coastlines and possible future coastlines, what conclusion can be made about how sea level is tied to
pashok25 [27]

The sea level is tied to glacial growth as a result of the changes that occur.

The glacial growth brings about a decrease in sea level.

Glacial growth occurs when water is evaporated and forms ice which is the

sold state of water as a result of the low temperature in the environment.

The ice formed brings about a decrease in sea level.

However, when the ice melts it leads to an increase in the sea level as the

liquid water formed from the ice which flows into the water bodies thereby

bringing about an increase.
