Answer:

false

Explanation:

The rock cycle is powered by the sun

The rock cycle is driven by two forces: (1) Earth's internal heat engine, which moves material around in the core and the mantle and leads to slow but significant changes within the crust, and (2) the hydrological cycle, which is the movement of water, ice, and air at the surface, and is powered by the sun.

Which of the following scenarios best describes how the Hawaiian Islands formed in the Pacific Ocean? View Available Hint(s) Whi
pogonyaev

The correct answer is - Magma generated from a hot spot burned through the overlying plate to create volcanoes.

The Hawaiian Islands are all formed as a result of volcanic activity of a hot spot. The hot spot is stationary, but the islands are in the shape of a chain, not all in the same place. Also, the rocks on the islands that do not have active volcanoes are older, than the ones that do have volcanic activity. This suggests that the Pacific plate is moving. According the direction in which the islands are arranged, the Pacific plate seems to move toward northwest. As it moves, it moves over the hot spot. Since the hot spot is stationary, as the Pacific plate moves, eventually the volcanic activity will stop on the island that has moved further away from the hot spot. The magma from the hot spot will penetrate through the crust that came to be over it. That will result in new volcanic island emerging from the sea over the hot spot. The process goes on for millions of years, and it can result in hundreds of islands of volcanic origin.

Effects of UHI on the humans​
Elina [12.6K]

HI is most noticeable during the summer and winter. The main cause of the urban heat island effect is from the modification of land surfaces. Waste heat generated by energy usage is a secondary contributor. As a population center grows, it tends to expand its area and increase its average temperature.

What planet can come closest to the earth in its orbit and look brightest in our skies?
Naya [18.7K]

Venus can come closest to the earth in its orbit and look brightest in our skies.

Venus is extremely bright because it is the nearest planet to Earth and because most of the sunlight that reaches it (about 70%) is reflected back into space by its thick clouds. The brightest object in the sky, Venus is frequently seen within a few hours after sunset or before sunrise.

The Earth and Venus is 38 million kilometres away at the closest point of opposition. This is the planet's closest approach to Earth. Venus has never travelled more than 261 million kilometres from Earth. the fact that the distance between Venus and Earth may change by a staggering 223 million kilometres.
