Answer:

The Nazca plate is moving in a southwestern direction.

Explanation:

The Galapagos Islands are a chain of islands that have been formed by hot spot volcanism. This means that they are volcanic islands formed on top of a plate, not near the boundary of the plates. The hot spot is static, while the plates move, so as the plate moves one volcanic island away from the hot spot, a new one is formed.

The direction in which the islands are relative to each other is an excellent indicator of the direction in which the plate is moving. The smaller islands are the oldest ones, while the larger ones are the younger ones, so the direction in which the plate is moving is from the point of the largest island toward the smallest islands. In this case, we can see that if we make a line from the largest island toward the smallest islands the direction comes to be roughly in a southwestern manner.

Explain how these geological processes and interactions have changed Earth's surface through the years. Be sure to use evidence
fenix001 [56]

Answer:

The geological process and interactions like earthquakes, volcanic eruption, cyclone etc, are responsible for the changes because these are very fast and sudden.

Explanation:

It is 4.5 billion years that Earth has been formed and there have been changes since then. Earthquakes, volcanic eruption, cyclone etc, are some of the geological process and interactions are the reasons for change in earth's surface. An earthquake usually split or divide the surface into many pieces in a very few seconds. While lava erupted from a volcano makes the land fertile by spreading around within minutes whereas a day of rainfall can lead to a flood in the neighborhoods and results in many losses.
