Which of the following characteristics do many island countries in the Pacific Ocean share? A. They are susceptible to freezing temperatures B. They experience significant seismic activity C. Their volcanoes are dormant D. Their mountains are the highest in the world

Answer 1

hi! i can't give you the direct answer so i'll help lead you to it. starting with a, countries in oceania include australia, new zealand, micronesia, papua new guinea, polynesia, and melanesia. all of those countries lie near the equator, so would they be susceptible to frreezing temperatures?

Answer 2

no @punkdirection

Answer 3

right! so on to b. do you know what seismic activity is?

Answer 4

it has to do with earthquakes @punkdirection

Answer 5

yes. so with that, oceanic countries are not in the pacific ring of fire so they don't experience many earthquakes. would b be right?

Answer 6

no

Answer 7

good. so with c, oceania has around 452 volcanoes. do you think every single one of them is dormant?

Answer 8

no @punkdirection

Answer 9

good because they aren't. i do believe almost all of them are active. that would leave only one possible correct answer, which is d :)
