Why are there so many volcanoes in the ring of fire.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The abundance of volcanoes and earthquakes along the Ring of Fire is caused by the amount of movement of tectonic plates in the area. Along much of the Ring of Fire, plates overlap at convergent boundaries called subduction zones. That is, the plate that is underneath is pushed down, or subducted, by the plate above

Which type of radiation from earth is the long-wave radiation absorbed by greenhouse gases?.

Answers

Answer: Longwave infared radiation

Explanation:

Greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, such as water vapor(H2O) and carbon dioxide(CO2),  absorb most of the Earth's emitted longwave infrared radiation, which heats the lower atmosphere. Once in the Earth's atmosphere, clouds and the surface absorb the solar energy. The ground heats up and re-emits energy as longwave radiation in the form of infrared rays. Earth emits longwave radiation because Earth is cooler than the sun and has less energy available to give off.

Answer:

The Cascadia Subduction Zone is where the Explorer, Juan de Fuca, and Gorda plates move towards the east and are being pushed below the much larger North American Plate at the continental divide.

Explanation:

Although culturally, socially and to some extent geologically there is a wider region called the Cascadian bioregion that shares patterns of natural characteristics like watersheds and weather that extends from Northern California up to the southernmost points of Alaska and the Yukon territory, technically the Cascadia Subduction Zone describes the area from Northern Vancouver Island to Cape Mendocino in the north of California. It is 1000 km or 620 miles long and it is a region with a lot of seismic activity because it separates the Explorer, Juan de Fuca, Gorda, and North America plates.  Tectonic processes affecting large cities in this area like Vancouver, British Columbia, and Portland, Oregon are accretion and deep earthquakes due to the subduction between the plates. Active volcanos are present in the Cascades like Mount Rainier and Mount Saint Helens.
