Answer:

Explanation:

New Zealand is located in one of the most tectonically active regions of the world, the pacific ring of fire.

Volcanic activities is produced from uprising magma through the earth. They usually occur around plate boundaries on the surface of the earth.

New Zealand sits around an area where the Pacific plate subducts under the Indo-Australian plate. As the subduction occurs, the rocks beneath undergoes partial melting leading to the formation of magma. The magma reaches the surface in landward regions away from the subduction margins and series of volcanic arcs can form. These series of volcanoes typifies the tectonic setting of New Zealand and it is responsible for the vast volcanic activity in the region.

Quadratic Equation
True [87]

Explanation:

This is a product of two expressions that is equal to zero. Note that any xxx value that makes either (x-1)(x−1)left parenthesis, x, minus, 1, right parenthesis or (x+3)(x+3)left parenthesis, x, plus, 3, right parenthesis zero, will make their product zero.

begin{aligned} (x-1)&(x+3)=0

swarrow quad&quadsearrow x-1=0quad&quad x+3=0 x=1quad&quad x=-3 end{aligned}

(x−1)

↙

x−1=0

x=1

(x+3)=0

↘

x+3=0

x=−3

Substituting either x=1x=1x, equals, 1 or x=-3x=−3x, equals, minus, 3 into the equation will result in the true statement 0=0, equals, 0, so they are both solutions to the equation.

Most of the time in the atmosphere, the upward-directed pressure gradient force is exceeded by the downward pull of gravity.
Lisa [10]

Answer:

Ture

Explanation:

  • The pressure gradient is the force that is produced due to the rotation of earth pressure cells that creates lighter air to move upwards and heavier to move downwards due to the difference in densities of air.
  • As the air above consists of lighter elements the oceanic air mostly consist of diatomic molecules of oxygen and nitrogen thus containing a large amount of water vapor, all these molecules have a mass that are pulled down by the gravity and this pull of gravity on columns of gas applies a force what we see an atmospheric pressure.
  • The gas particles and molecules of heavy and denser matter get stuck at the ground, similarly, as the air cools is descends and warm air rises. Thus upwards and downward motion of air causes convergence and divergence of molecules.
