GENERAL GEOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Some of the most destructive natural hazards that occur on Earth-earthquakes, tsunamis and volcanic eruptions-are associated with tectonic plate boundaries.

Detailed explanation-2: -High temperatures and greater rainfall increase the rate of chemical weathering. 2. Rocks in tropical regions exposed to abundant rainfall and hot temperatures weather much faster than similar rocks residing in cold, dry regions.

Detailed explanation-3: -The most common feature that can be caused purely by chemical weathering is Karst Landscape, which can lead to caverns and sinkholes.

Detailed explanation-4: -Mudstone, shale, and limestone are examples of sedimentary rock likely to contain fossils. As the layers of sediment build up on top of one another, they create a physical timeline. The oldest layers, along with the organisms that were fossilized as they formed, are deepest. The youngest layers are found at the top.
