Answer:
Philippine plate converging with the Pacific plate, forming Mariana Islands in the Pacific Ocean
Explanation:
Oceanic convergence is the process resulting from the impact generated by the collision of two oceanic plates. This impact causes the heavier plate to sink to the point of being below the less heavy plate. The stronger the impact, the lower the heavier ocean plate will descend and the further it descends, the more it will be heated by the earth's mantle. As this plate is heated, the materials that melt and are incorporated into the mantle that increases in volume to the point of creating cracks in the terrestrial surface. This is how volcanic islands are formed, as well as cracks, similar to trenches on the seabed, are also created. Most of these volcanic islands are located in the Pacific, in the most easterly region. A strong example of this type of phenomenon is the Mariana Islands in the Pacific Ocean.
Hello. You did not present the answer options, which makes it impossible for this question to be answered accurately. However, I will try to help you in the best possible way.
To produce electricity for a city in a developed country, photovoltaic solar farms would need to occupy a large amount of land, as the demand for electricity in developed cities is very high and this would require a high production of solar energy. The occupation of such a large piece of land could hinder the sustainability of the region and of this energy production system. This is because the occupation of large areas of land could promote the destruction of habitats, deforestation and water and soil pollution due to the hazardous materials that are used to build solar panels, such as lead, gallium arsenide, diselenide from copper-indium-gallium, among others. This would cause the production of a non-polluting type of energy, causing pollution due to its installation.
A comet is a smaller celestial body orbiting the sun, often with a tail made of debris. Debris from a comet can turn into a meteor, which means that is has entered into Earth's atmosphere and burns due to the friction with the Earth's atmosphere. If a meteor is large enough, it can survive this fall into Earth's atmosphere and strike the Earth, on land this would leave an impact crater, or a collision site where the meteor met the surface. This can also happen in water, but may be difficult to see and may not leave an impact crater. Simply, Comet to Meteor to Impact crater.
<u>Answer:
</u>
An example of human environment interactions include settlements is a TRUE statement.
<u>Explanation:
</u>
- Though there are very few environmental factors evident where there are human settlements, the interaction between humans and the surrounding environment keeps on happening ceaselessly.
- As we breathe, as we eat, as we go out into our surroundings, we continue to interact with the environment.
- Many of our activities are associated with the environment like the ones mentioned above. Hence, human-environment interactions include settlements can be considered to be true.
Answer:
The displacement of spectral lines toward longer wavelengths (the red end of the spectrum) in radiation from distant galaxies and celestial objects
Explanation:
Red shift' is a key concept for astronomers. The term can be understood literally - the wavelength of the light is stretched, so the light is seen as 'shifted' towards the red part of the spectrum.
