The time required for the operation of a subduction zone as well as a volcano and number of years passed between volcanic eruptions of an active volcano.

Answer to Problem 1QR
The subduction zone requires tens of millions of years to operate, and one volcano would need around millions of years to operate. An active volcano would require around many years to decades for an eruption.
Explanation of Solution
The subduction zone is a type of fault area, which is characterized by the occurrence of swarm of earthquakes. These areas have tremendous amounts of stored energy, which is released periodically in the events of earthquakes. The subduction zone operates only when there is a collision between the plate boundaries or there is an event of oceanic expansion. These processes do not occur frequently. Therefore, subduction zones generally takes tens of millions of years to operate.
Most of the volcanoes require millions of years to operate. Active volcanoes are defined as the type of volcanoes which have undergone at least one eruption in the past 10,000 years. These volcanoes generally take years or decades for a single eruption.

The surplus of heat at the equator and the deficit at the Poles drives our atmospheric instability. Instability is a good thing! Without the unstable conditions, there would not be any atmospheric motion. The overheating of the equator pumps atmospheric uplift. As the air rises into lower pressures, it expands and cools... adiabatic cooling! The air migrates north and south and becomes denser than the surrounding air and sinks. The sinking air enters higher pressures and creates the subtropical high pressures and adiabatic heating...whaaaa-la! We have Hadley Cells! Not to mention, the Rainforests and World's largest deserts too! We now can imagine the Hadley cells in three-dimensions. They more or less "sandwich" the equator during the spring and fall equinoxes. However, what happens in the summer and winter? mP Maritime polar…arrow_forward
