Answer:
The Hawaiian Islands were formed by such a hot spot occurring in the middle of the Pacific Plate. While the hot spot itself is fixed, the plate is moving. So, as the plate moved over the hot spot, the string of islands that make up the Hawaiian Island chain were formed.

How do weathering and erosions affect landforms? Weather and erosion can attract organisms to live in a specific area. o Weathering and erosion can affect the climate of certain areas. Weathering and erosions can change the shape and size of landforms. Weathering and erosion cause earthquakes to occur more often in an area.
Answer:

Which best describes how wedge basins form?
When two plates move apart, the weaker part of Earth’s crust moves down at normal faults where sediments are deposited until a basin forms.
At the area where two bent plates slide past each other, a depression forms where sediments are deposited.
When two plates collide, the non-subducting plate scrapes the subducting plate and forms a depression where sediments gather.
At the area of a depression between two plates, sediments continue to get deposited and become compacted.

This planet quickly revolves around the Sun and has no rings and no moons. It is also a planet that has virtually no atmosphere. What is the identity of this planet?
Answer:
Mercury.
Explanation:
Mercury has no rings, no moons, and no atmosphere. Instead it has a thin exosphere made up of atoms blasted off the surface by the solar wind and striking meteoroids. It also moves quickly around the Sun.
Hope this helps!
