Question 2 select all the statements below that accurately describe volcanic ctivity at various plate tectonic settings. although both formed by hot spots, hawall's volcanic eruptions are much different than yellowstone's volcanic eruptions. basaltic lava flows are typically more dangerous to human life than pyroclastic flows. most of the world's sub-aerial (exposed above sea level) volcanoes are found along convergent plate boundaries. continental rifts can lead to both basaltic and rhyolitic eruptions the underwater volcanoes along mid-ocean ridges erupt continuously predicting the exact timing of future volcanic eruptions is essentially impossible, but the probability of a volcano erupting can be assessed using recurrence intervals based on the geologic record.

the correct answers are:

a - pacific plate;

it is the biggest oceanic tectonic plate. surrounded on all sides by continental tectonic plates, it is submerging and gradually becoming smaller and smaller.

b - north american plate;

huge continental plate, occupying big portion of the northern hemisphere.

c -eurasian plate;

alongside the north american plate, it is one of the two dominant continental plates in the northern hemisphere.

d - indian plate;

a small continental plate, that has been part of gondwanaland initially, but after the break up of it, moved towards northeast and pushed into the eurasian plate that was once part of laurasia.

answer ( groundwater);

it is very hard for the climatologists to precisely predict how will the global temperatures be changing so there's lots of models, some of which differ significantly, this is due to multiple factors, and probably the most important is the human activity.

humans have been a key factor in climate change around the globe since the start of the industrial revolution, and in the past few decades the consequences are becoming more obvious. there's lots of emission of pollutants in the atmosphere as well as changing the environment on the surface itself, so it's really hard to predict how will that go in the future because there's some countries that are reducing the damage and are going towards green energy, while others are stubbornly continuing with pollution and damages to the environment.
