Where would you be if the Polaris is seen at the zenith?
Ipatiy [6.2K]

If you joined Santa last Christmas at the north pole (90 degrees latitude), you would have seen Polaris straight overhead and the celestial equator on your horizon. The point straight overhead on the celestial sphere for any observer is called the zenith and is always 90 degrees from the horizon.

So the answer is the North Pole.

What is one reason that a culture might develop unique characteristics?
Alex Ar [27]
Cultures most typically develop without a conscious planning (but there are exceptions! So i would say that while B) and C) are not typically or commonly true, they could be true!).

They are usually simply a product of the interaction of people and their environment.

The most reliable way in which cultures are unique is when they''re not influenced by other cultures, so the best answer is A) The climate of the area may isolate the culture, preventing outside influences.

The many volcanoes located along the edge of the Pacific Ocean make up the Ring of Fire. How does subduction play a role in the
sertanlavr [38]
<span>The most volcanically active belt on Earth is known as the Ring of Fire, a region of subduction zone volcanism surrounding the Pacific Ocean. Subduction zone volcanism occurs where two plates are converging on one another. One plate containing oceanic lithosphere descends beneath the adjacent plate, thus consuming the oceanic lithosphere into the earth's mantle. This on-going process is called subduction. As the descending plate bends downward at the surface, it creates a large linear depression called an oceanic trench. These trenches are the deepest topographic features on the earth's surface.

</span>
<span>The crustal portion of the subducting slab contains a significant amount of surface water, as well as water contained in hydrated minerals within the seafloor basalt. As the subducting slab descends to greater and greater depths, it progressively encounters greater temperatures and greater pressures which cause the slab to release water into the mantle wedge overlying the descending plate. Water has the effect of lowering the melting temperature of the mantle, thus causing it to melt. The magma produced by this mechanism varies from basalt to andesite in composition. It rises upward to produce a linear belt of volcanoes parallel to the oceanic trench, as exemplified in the above image of the Aleutian Island chain. The chain of volcanoes is called an island arc. If the oceanic lithosphere subducts beneath an adjacent plate of continental lithosphere, then a similar belt of volcanoes will be generated on continental crust. </span>
