John Tuzo Wilson developed crucial concepts that related to plate tectonics in 1963.

                He asserted that the Hawaiian, and other island chains, may have formed due to movement of a plate over a "hot spot" in the Earth's mantle.

[Note: A __Hotspot___  is an area of abnormally intense active volcanism.]

              He also argued that there must be a third type of plate boundary to connect ridges and trenches- which are called transform faults. These allowed for plates to slide past one another without oceanic crust being created or destroyed.

According to the principle of self-determination, what is the only legitimate basis for the formation of a state? A. the nation
Lena [83]

The only legitimate basis for the formation of a state is the nation.

Explanation:

The formation of a state can be an easy or a very complicated process. Also, it can be done in a peaceful manner, or through usage of violence and military action. The states have been formed in many different ways over the course of the history. The principle of self-determination though states that the only legitimate basis for the formation of a state is the nation.

  • This principle seems good and legit, but in practice has turned out to be very problematic.
  • Numerous states have been formed without really having a nation, but more a mixture of different people and cultures stuffed together without even asking them for it.
  • There a re lot of nations around the world that do not have states, or rather are not allowed to have states, such as the Basques, Catalans, Kurdish etc.
  • Some states have been formed because of the interest of other states, like the example of Kosovo in the Balkans.

Which statement describes the process of subduction?
Harlamova29_29 [7]

<u>Answer:</u>

<em>The geological process taking place in the convergent boundaries is what is called subduction. </em>

<em></em>

<u>Explanation:</u>

The tectonic plates moves from side to another and they are forced to sink because of substantial gravitational forces to the mantle.  

The crust of the earth is continuous however it is divided into pieces, the pieces, therefore, is one called tectonic plates, and they move close to each other through the power of convection cycles contained in the mantle below the crust enabling the plates to move freely.
