Question

1. in what part of oceans landforms would you find marine life?
2. if you wanted to protect something from the effects of erosion, what would you do?
3. why are earthquakes common in the area known as the ring of fire?
4. what are continuously moving flows of ocean water called, and what is one effect they have?
5. what happens during the runoff stage of the hydrologic cycle?

Explanation:

1. Marine life is abundant in areas with sunlight and nutrients like the continental shelf.
2. Planting vegetation can hold soil in place and break the force of water or wind to protect from erosion.
3. The Ring of Fire is a zone of tectonic - plate boundaries where plates interact, causing earthquakes.
4. Continuously moving flows of ocean water are called ocean currents. One effect is transporting heat.
5. During the runoff stage of the hydrologic cycle, water flows over land surfaces into rivers, lakes, and eventually to the ocean.

Answer:

1. Continental shelf.
2. Plant vegetation.
3. It is a zone of tectonic - plate boundaries.
4. Ocean currents; Transporting heat.
5. Water flows over land surfaces into rivers, lakes, and the ocean.
