Pull-apart rift zones are generally associated with a divergent plate boundary.
<u>Explanation:</u>
In geology, rifts are those linear zones where lithosphere is getting pulled apart. Divergent plate boundary, also named as extensional boundary or constructive boundary is a linear characteristic that exist in between both the tectonic plates that tends to move away from each other.
Major rifts can be found alongside the central axis of mid-ocean ridges, where lithosphere and new oceanic crust is created between two tectonic plates in the path of a divergent boundary.
When the two plates pull apart, general faults or breakdowns are developed on both the sides of the rifts and the central blocks start to slide downwards thereby initiating the earthquakes.
The regions of light and unpredictable winds at about 30° No latitudes are called <u>trade winds</u>
Answer: Option A
<u>Explanation:</u>
Trade winds are the latitudes which cool and descend at 30 degree north and are areas with surface winds but these surface winds are light and unpredictable. These are the winds that blow towards the equator.
Trade winds blow at an average speed of about 5 to 6 meters per second and these winds are unpredictable. These winds are warm winds and therefore they pick up moisture and bring heavy rainfall.
Answer:
The largest amount of carbon is involved in natural fire biological processes in the oceans.
Explanation:
The exchange of carbon between the biosphere , hydrosphere , geosphere and atmosphere on the Earth , is called the Carbon Cycle.
The ocean contains a large active pool of carbon on the surface of the Earth , but in the deep ocean does not exchange with the atmosphere.
The amount of carbon from the biological process in the oceans is 50 % greater than any other.
