Tropical storms, humidity, and frequent rainfall.
Well, Ecuador is a country filled with rainforests, which occur where it rains a lot, the western side of mountain ranges, where storms build up and stall, and it could be during el nino, which means a large abnormal amount of storms in pacific tropical areas.
The correct answer for the question that is being presented above is this one: "2.) Plate tectonics, plate boundaries ." Plate tectonics cause earthquakes and volcanic activity at plate boundaries.
Here are the following choices:
1.) Fault lines, laccoliths
2.) Plate tectonics, plate boundaries
3.) Plate tectonics, the Ring of Fire
4.) Heat from Earth's mantle, fault lines
Answer: Thermal inversion
Explanation: Thermal inversion or change the position of the air layer, when the warmer layer of air is above the cold layer, which is usually not the case. It happens due to a change in the normal temperature gradient, i.e. when the gradient becomes inverted. Such thermal inversions can occur in oceanic areas with a lot of upwelling near the coasts. Thermal inversion also occurs when sun radiation is less than radiation from the earth, which is the case during the night. The significance of these inversions is great, especially for air quality in polluted environments such as urban. The strongest inversions are during the winter and can then be dangerous due to poor air quality, which is measured by the AQI (Air Quality Index). The higher the AQI index, the greater the risk of bad air, that is, the worse air.
