(2) mantle hot spot
(3) divergent boundary
(4) transform fault

Answers

Answer 1
Answer:

The Canary Islands were formed principally as a result of their proximity to a divergent boundary. It's best to choose C.

What is Canary Islands?

The Canary Islands, usually referred to colloquially as the Canaries are an archipelago of Spanish islands in the Atlantic Ocean, off the coast of Micronesia.

They are 100 kilometers (62 miles) west of Morocco, where they are the closest to the continent of Africa. They are the most southern Spanish autonomous community.

The islands are the most populous special territory of the European Union with a population of 2.2 million.

The seven major islands, one minor island, many small islets, and the Canary hotspot all originated as volcanic islands. The only location in Spain where volcanic eruptions have been documented throughout the Modern Era is the Canary Islands, where some volcanoes are currently active.

Thus option C is correct.

How is the environment affected by a large-scale oil spill?a.Large-scale oil spills are the largest contributor to air pollution.
b.Large-scale oil spills lead directly to wetlands becoming deserts.
c.Large-scale oil spills are damaging to water quality, aquatic life, and bird populations.
d.Large-scale oil spills can lead to an increase in sea levels through glacial melting.

Answers

Large scale oil spills are damaging to water quality, aquatic life and bird populations is the way the environment get effected by large oil spills. The correct option among all the options that are given in the question is the third option or option "c". This kind of oil spills can disturb the natural balance of that place.

The correct answer is - c. large scale oil spills are damaging to water quality, aquatic life, and bird populations.

Oil spills are very big disasters that affect the environment and the ecosystems in the worst way possible. The water is contaminated to a degree where it can not be used for anything, and the oil it self needs lot of time to dispose so that the water returns to its previous state. The aquatic life dies out rapidly, all of the species affected by this die out of poisoning and the ecosystem in that place is totally ruined. The sea birds are also affected heavily because they dive into the water to hunt, and when there's oil their wings and bodies get covered in it and they are not able to fly, and either drown or slowly die on the shores.

WILL MARK BRAINLIEST IF CORRECT :)Many earthquakes occur near mid-ocean ridges but do not destroy or form new crust. Instead, plates slip past each other. Which kind of boundary is found at these earthquake locations?

A. transform boundary between two ocean plates
B. transform boundary between two continental plates
C. convergent boundary between two ocean plates
D. convergent boundary between two continental plates

Answers

Answer:

The answer would be *drumroll* A!

Explanation:

A transform boundary is a fault along a plate boundary where the motion is predominantly horizontal. It ends abruptly where it connects to another plate boundary, either another transform, a spreading ridge, or a subduction zone. Most such faults are found in oceanic crust, where they accommodate the lateral offset between segments of divergent boundaries, forming a zigzag pattern.

or,

A transform boundary is a boundary that rubs against another, creating faults(earthquakes) on the Earths crust.

I hope this helps and you have a great rest of your evening! :) :D
