Use the earthquake distribution map and what you know about boundaries to answer the question.
Studies have shown that there is a relationship between the type and location of boundaries and the distribution and depth of earthquakes along or near these boundaries. Many earthquakes, shown in the map as wide bands, occur along convergent areas. These areas experience varying depths of earthquakes.
Where would oceanic-oceanic convergence most likely occur?
A. Nazca plate converging with the South America plate, forming the Andes mountains
B. Philippine plate converging with the Pacific plate, forming Mariana Islands in the Pacific Ocean
C. Juan de Fuca converging with the North American plate, forming the Cascade mountains
D. North America Plate converging with the Eurasian Plate, forming a mid-ocean ridge
Answer:
B. Philippine plate converging with the Pacific plate, forming Mariana Islands in the Pacific Ocean
Explanation:
A convergent boundary is a boundary where tectonic plates collides with each other. Convergent boundary is a region of mild to high earthquake activity. The collision maybe between a continental plate and oceanic plate , continental plates or oceanic plates.
When two plates converge the result will depend on the type of plate they are made of. When oceanic plates collides with a continental plates the denser oceanic plates will subduct or plunge beneath the continental plates. The continental plate is less dense an more buoyant so it will conveniently override the oceanic plate.
Continental - continental plates collisions causes an uprising since both plates are buoyant and less dense. This kind of collision creates one of the highest mountain ranges.
When two oceanic plates collides the denser plate subduct into the mantle. This subduction result to an oceanic trench, volcanic arc and earthquakes. The Philippine plate comprises of oceanic crust while the pacific plate is an oceanic crust . Therefore,a collision between this two plates is an oceanic- oceanic plate collision. The collision between this two plates causes an Island arc known as Mariana Island.
B. Philippine plate converging with the Pacific plate, forming Mariana Islands in the Pacific Oceanplanation
One of the primary reasons that governments seek to encourage population growth in their country is to____.
A. Increase the social status of women.
B. Improve the standard of living for the population.
C. Reduce pressure on natural resources such as land
D. Address the challenges created by an aging population.
Answer: I would say the answer is D
Explanation: If population growth wanes the number of middle aged and younger people in the workforce drops. This slows down the production of many things leading to a plethera of problems. A good example of this is the current situation in Japan. They have virtually no population growth and an increasing amount of elderly with no care or support systems.

In what way are cities microclimates?
A. Cities are warmer than the areas immediately around them.
B. Cities have more precipitation than rural areas do.
C. Cities are smaller than the areas around them.
D. Cities have lower atmospheric pressure than rural areas do.
The answer is A.
This is because cities contain more people in one area, thus they contain more businesses like restaurants, cafes, etc. that produce more overall exhaust than say a more rural town with fewer people. Light pollution will also be largely greater over a city as opposed to a rural town.
Cities are warmer than the areas immediately around them is the way are cities microclimates. Hence, option A is correct.
What is cities microclimates?Due to human activity, an urban microclimate is hotter than its surroundings. Due to the fact that, in calm weather, temperatures are highest in the densely populated city center and decrease as you walk out toward the suburbs and countryside, urban zones are known as urban heat islands.
A microclimate is any area where the climate differs from that of its surrounds. Microclimates are naturally formed and can be quite small. They may even be rather large. For instance, as a city grows, its own climate patterns are formed, and these patterns become more significant.
Despite the fact that microclimates exist practically everywhere, they are more apparent in topographically active areas like hilly, island, and coastal locations.
Thus, option A is correct.

Explain how waves erode, transport & deposit material
Answer:
Longshore drift happens when waves approach the beach at an angle. The swash (waves moving up the beach) carries material up and along the beach. Longshore drift provides a link between erosion and deposition. Material in one place is eroded, transported then deposited elsewhere.
Explanation:
Answer: The energy in waves can break apart rocks. Over time waves make small cracks bigger. ... Waves can also erode rock by abrasion. As a wave comes to shallow water it picks up sediment.
A wave transports its energy without transporting matter. Waves are seen to move through an ocean or lake; yet the water always returns to its rest position. Energy is transported through the medium, yet the water molecules are not transported.
The waves push material at an angle up the beach via the swash and it is then deposited on the beach. The backwash will then collect the material and pull it down the beach in a vertical direction back out to sea. Another wave will then collect that material and carry it obliquely towards shore again.

Find the sum of the measures of the interior angles of a 102-gon
Answer:
18000
Explanation:
we know, the sum of the interior angels of a polygon is,
s = 180 = (n−2)
for the polygon with 102 sides,
s = 180 (102−2)
= 180 × 100
= 18000

If the moon was farther away from the earth what do you think happened to the earth tides they would
Answer:
The Earth's tides will not be as obvious
Explanation:
Earth's tides are caused by gravity from the Sun and Moon. If the moon was further away, it would be less effective to the tides. However, this doesn't mean that we won't have tides because they are still effected by gravity from the Sun.

Anna has 2 purple lipsticks, 3 red lipsticks and 3 pink lipsticks in her kit. She picks one lipstick, records its color, puts it back in the kit and draws another lipstick. What is the probability of taking out a purple lipstick followed by the red lipstick?
Answer:
3/32
Explanation:
Since she is putting all of the lipsticks back in the kit, that means she will always have the same "denominator" for all the probabilities.
The equation would look something like this: 2/8 * 3/8 = 6/64 = 3/32

The perimeter of a square garden is 348 feet. How long is each side?
Answer:
87 ft
Explanation:
Perimeter = sum of all sides
Since a square has 4 equal sides, we can divide its perimeter by 4 to get 348/4=87
Answer:
87 feet
Explanation:
square means all sides are equal. perimeter is total distance around, which is the four sides added up. Thus, the perimeter, 348, divided by the four sides, is 87 feet
