Answer:
Explanation:
New Zealand is located in one of the most tectonically active regions of the world, the pacific ring of fire.
Volcanic activities is produced from uprising magma through the earth. They usually occur around plate boundaries on the surface of the earth.
New Zealand sits around an area where the Pacific plate subducts under the Indo-Australian plate. As the subduction occurs, the rocks beneath undergoes partial melting leading to the formation of magma. The magma reaches the surface in landward regions away from the subduction margins and series of volcanic arcs can form. These series of volcanoes typifies the tectonic setting of New Zealand and it is responsible for the vast volcanic activity in the region.

Answer:
D. Ocean - Atmosphere - Wind - Weather
Explanation:
- The El Nino (warm) and La Nina (cool) are the opposing phases of climatic patterns in the tropical pacific ocean and take place every 3 to 7 years. Combined they are called ENSO.
- First, in the El Nino ocean temperatures in the eastern tropical pacific ocean rise above average and this leads to rainfall over Indonesia and storms in central pacific. This rising air increases the air motion and leads to dryness and high surface pressure during the La Nina phase this condition gets reversed.
- During the El Nino, the northwestern pacific tends to be warmers and the southern tier of California tends to be cooler and wetter. These surface temperatures are caused and changed by the help of trade winds. These blows from east to west along the pacific ocean.
- These phenomena thus influenced the weather along the western and the eastern pacific ocean.
