-- The latitude at the northern end of the main runway at
Yakutsk Airport is 62.106° N. That point is roughly 460 miles
from the closest point on the seacoast.
-- The latitude at the northern end of the main runway at
Anchorage International Airport is 61.199° N. That point is
roughly 0.32 mile from the closest point on the seacoast.
Using these points of comparison, Yakutsk is 0.907° of latitude (62.7 miles)
more northerly than Anchorage, and Anchorage is roughly 460 miles closer
to the ocean than Yakutsk is.

Answer:
Geysers
Explanation:
New Zealand lies on the edge of tectonic plates, this causes one plate to go up and the other to go down. This pushes up the earth creating mountains, geysers, etc
Answer:
The plates converge, diverge or move past each other (sideways)
Explanation:
The earth crust is divided into different tectonic plates. The manner and way this separated plates moves determines the earth structure and topology of the earth. Even this movement causes hazardous event like volcanic eruption.
The plates movement can be converging, diverging or moving past each other .
Convergence occur when two plates collides with each other . The boundary where this phenomenon takes place is called the convergent boundary. The colliding of this plates causes earth deformation and extensive uprising . In the case where a continental plates collides the collision produces mountains . The continental plates are less dense and very active. Continental plates contains more of granitic rocks and this is what contributes to their less dense nature. The collision of this active plates causes an up-welling to form mountain belts . The highest mountain(mountain Everest) was formed through this process. There can also be convergence when oceanic plates collides with a continental plates. The more dense oceanic plates subduct , this subduction leads to introduction of molten magma to the earth surface through volcanic eruption.
At the divergence boundary , two plates move away from each other . This divergent boundary is dominant in the oceanic crust . It can also occur in the continental crust. The plates diverge into two parts . The mid oceanic ridge forming the point of separation. Volcanic eruption introduces magma through the crest of the oceanic ridge to form a new crust.
At the transform boundary, plates moves past each other in a side way manner. The transform movement produces many faults. example San Andrea Fault.
