Describe how volcanic eruptions are related to plate tectonics.

• Volcanic eruptions occur only in the middle of tectonic plates.

• Volcanic eruptions are caused by the movement of tectonic plates at boundaries.

• Volcanic eruptions are unrelated to tectonic plate movements.

How do human activities impact ocean systems, particularly in terms of biodiversity?

• They increase biodiversity by introducing new species.

• They have no impact on ocean biodiversity.

• They decrease biodiversity by causing habitat destruction.

• They stabilize biodiversity by maintaining constant temperatures.
