<span>One environmental factor that produces precipitation extremes is the proximity to large bodies of water. For instance, in order for there to be large amounts of precipitation, such as in a rainforest, the rainforest must be located near a large body of water, such as a lake. A desert lacks precipitation because it is very far from large bodies of water. Another factor that effects the amount of precipitation is elevation. Higher elevated lands typically receive more precipitation than lower elevation areas.</span>

One way would be to limit who can receive a passport or visa to travel to another country and another would be at the entrance to the country they may not be admitted for example due to inadequate funds to live. In my case, when I travelled by bus from Costa Rica to Panama, the Panamanian authorities required that I either have a ticket out of the country or a return ticket back to San Jose, Costa Rica.

Plate Tectonics Name Date Course/Section Due Date 1. The distribution of earthquakes defines the boundaries of which major Earth

Mumz [18]

Answer:

As explained below.

Explanation:

The distribution of earthquakes defines the boundary of the earth tectonic plates as earthquakes have the seismic energy that gets transferred to the landscape and as result to this the transform, divergent and convergent boundaries along the plate margins can be found.

Deep focus earthquakes are those that have shallow bases and origin in trenches where the lands are subdued under the plates and are associated with prominent oceanic features like the mid-oceanic ridges, deep-sea ridges, and seamounts, guyots and canyons, etc.

The ocean floor of convergence that creates the deep-seated earthquake as being collided with land and an oceanic plate or being collided with an oceanic and oceanic plate boundary. Physical features are faults and rift valleys.

The tonga trench is located near the tonga island and in the southwestern pacific ocean, is the second deepest trench on earth. Pacific plate is being subdued under this tench with an in convergence rate of 15 cm/year. Thus the rigid slab of lithosphere plate is being pulled towards this zone of convergence.
