<h2>Answer:</h2>

The "ring of fire" is volcanic island arc extending from the southwestern pacific through Indonesia. The island arc formed as a result of <u>oceanic tectonic plate</u> collision.

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

The ring of fire is the major volcanic erupting and earthquake prone area in Pacific Ocean. The main reason of formation of ring of fire is the subduction of tectonic plates especially in the northern region.

Due to this reason most of the study of volcanic eruption starts from Alaska. Due to the collision of the tectonic plates in this region there is frequent occurring of earthquake and volcanic eruption. About 81% of major earthquake in earth occur in this region.

Romashka [77]

Answer:

They are youngest close to the ridges,

Explanation:

At the ocean ridges, there is divergence at their margins.

Therefore, new materials upwell from the mantle below to the surface.

  • The basaltic materials cools and solidifies at the margin.
  • This action forces the old lithosphere backwards as the plate pulls away.
  • At the margin of the ridge, the rocks are younger.
  • Away from the margin, the crust begins to grow older.

So, at the margin the age of the rocks are more younger than those away from the margin.

What type of forest stays green all year
Inga [223]
I agree with the answer above - boreal forests are the kind of forests that remain green all year, because evergreen trees can be found there. Opposite of this, temperate forests do not stay green all year, because they have deciduous trees, which means their leaves fall off.
