Moscow is on a latitude of 55.7558° North, while Winnipeg is on a latitude of 49.8951° North, thus putting Moscow by 5.8607° further away from the Equator than Winnipeg is.
<u>Erosional deformation
</u> is not a form of rock deformation.
Answer: Option B
<u>Explanation:</u>
Rocks are all the time being subjected to force within the surface of earth because of which these rocks tend to twist, bend or get fractured. This causes the rock to change in their shape or size which is known as the deformation of rock and this deformation is affected by temperature, rock type, time and the pressure. Rocks deform in two ways which are ductile and brittle deformation.
Answer:
Option: D. It cooled very slowly.
Explanation:
Iceland is known as the Land of Fire. The country is present in the plate boundary of the North American and Eurasian tectonic plates. Being on the top of the Ring of Fire, it has active volcanoes. Hexagonal basalt columns formed from a volcanic eruption. Basalt columns are the result of a cooling process that changes the appearance of the lava. Basalt is a volcanic rock rich in iron and magnesium created from the heated magma that emerges as lava during an eruption.

Answer:
Option (C)
Explanation:
San Andreas is a prominent example of a transform fault, in which the plates namely the Pacific Plate and the North American plate slide past each other. The movement of the associated plates in this fault is in the right lateral, strike-slip. With the continuous and rapid movement of both the plates in its respective direction, the west side of the fault would get detached from the fault zone and lead to the formation of an island. The movement of the plates along this fault is responsible for the occurrence of shallow focus tremendous earthquakes.
Thus, the correct answer is option (C).
