What is true about the Ring of Fire

The Ring of Fire includes countries with a high number of active volcanoes, such as Japan and Indonesia.

The Ring of Fire only includes volcanoes in South America.

The Ring of Fire has fewer volcanoes than any other region in the world.

The Ring of Fire is a region in the Atlantic Ocean known for its calm seas.

How is a fossil formed?

an animal dies, it gets covered with sediment, it decomposes, and then lay underground for millions of years.

an animal digs underground and gets squished and then its bones pop out

When an animal dies, it immediately turns to stone overnight.

Aliens carefully bury dinosaur bones to confuse future humans.

These things cause slow changes to the earth...

weathering, erosion, and deposition

volcanoes, earthquakes, and landslides

What pattern can be observed from the distribution of volcanoes in the Ring of Fire?

Volcanoes cluster around the edges of the Pacific Ocean.

Volcanoes are evenly spread out around the world.

Volcanoes are found only in the Southern Hemisphere.

Volcanoes are only found on islands.

Which statement best describes the location of the Ring of Fire?

It forms a horseshoe shape around the Pacific Ocean.

It is in the middle of the Pacific Ocean

It is found on the southern border of the Pacific Ocean

These events cause fast changes to the earth

volcanic eruptions, earthquakes, and landslides

weathering, erosion, and deposition

How does ice contribute to the weathering of rocks?

Ice freezes and expands, causing cracks in the rocks.

Ice melts and adds water to the rivers.

Ice blows rocks around in the wind.

Ice blocks sunlight from reaching the rocks.

What is a consequence of coastal erosion?

threats to human communities, including homes, buildings, roads, and other structures

increased populations of sea life such as fish, sea otters, and clams.

Creation of new beaches made of mud, sand, and rocks

The sides of the canyon rose quickly over a few years.

The river deposited different kinds of rocks on the canyon sides over a long period of time.

The canyon used to be an ocean but then drained slowly over millions of years.

Which types of fossils found here BEST explains why scientists believe that this area was once covered by an ocean?

Fossils of fish and fish like animals were found there.

Fossils of land plants were very common.

Human fossils and fishing nets were found there.

What is a possible con of building structures like seawalls or other barriers to protect against coastal erosion?

They can have impacts on the environment and marine life.

They are inexpensive and easy to build.

They make the coast more attractive to tourists.

They increase the rate of erosion
