Answers
Explanation:
Mt Kilimanjaro - Mt. Kilimanjaro in Tanzania on the African continent is an extinct volcano. Any volcano that shows no magma supply and has not erupted in recorded history is considered as an extinct volcano.
• Mid -Atlantic earthquake zone – The mid-Atlantic earthquake zone refers to the zone surrounding the mid-Atlantic ridge. This ridge lies over active plate boundaries where different plates are known to converge or diverge. Mainly it is a convergent plate boundary and the shifting of plates often causes under water earthquakes in this region.
• Mt Fuji – Mt Fujiyama in Japan is an active volcano. A volcano that is erupting or shows signs of future eruptions like emission of gas, muds, etc. is called active.
• Krakatoa – This is a volcanic island in Indonesia. It is famous because of a cataclysmic eruption in 1883. According to the official records of the Dutch East Indies colony, 165 villages and towns were destroyed near Krakatoa, and 132 were seriously damaged. At least 36,417 people died, and many more thousands were injured, mostly from the tsunamis that followed the explosion. The eruption destroyed two-thirds of the island of Krakatoa.
