Answer:
Options (A), (B), (C), and (D)
Explanation:
The volcanic activity refers to the eruption of magma at the surface of the ocean floor and continental land areas, forming volcanoes.
Some of the tectonic settings that are associated with volcanic activity are as follows-
- Mantle plumes- These are the large uprising bodies of magma that are generated due to the formation of convection current in the mantle. These are localized body and are located away from the tectonic boundaries. For example, Hawaii is formed as the plates moved over the mantle plumes.
- Continental rifts- This refers to the eruption of magma at the surface of the continents, due to the divergent motion of two continental plates. It results in the formation of a rift, rift valley and then later forms an ocean.
- Island arcs- These are formed due to the collision of two oceanic plates, where the volcanoes are formed on the lighter oceanic plate due to the rising up of magma.
- Continental arcs- These are formed due to the collision between an oceanic and a continental plate, where the volcanoes are formed due to the uprising of magma in the lighter continental plates.
A property of fine-grained clastic rocks is that they are easily eroded.
<h3>Why are these rocks easily eroded?</h3>
Fine-grained clastic rocks have small fragments and grains which make them lighter than other rocks.
As a result they are more susceptible to weathering which then allows them to be easily carried off by water or air.
In conclusion, option A is correct.

I have done my research and checked my textbooks it is C
The correct answer is D) a wide area of dry land located along the southern edge of the Sahara.I'm 100% sure for this answer.
Answer:
A. technology can be used to overcome physical barriers and boundaries
Explanation:
The ability to dam water and use of improved transportation are clear proofs of how we can overcome physical barriers and boundaries.
- Dam water is an engineering revolution by which water can be made available all year round.
- Also, damage to the ecosystem caused by excess water is circumvented.
- Roads that are pliable are of huge important in breaching geographical imitations. A good transport system can make use of this connectivity.
- Air transportation has improved the ease of travel and reduced travel time greatly.
- Both dams and good transportation are clear engineering solutions to overcome limitations of nature.
