Explanation / Answer
5. B is the correct answer. Since the region incorporates more active volcanoes than any other areas of similar size. These volcanoes form at the subduction margin of Indo-Australian, Eurasian and Philippine sea plate therefor situated near the plate margins.
6. These are a kind of composite or stratovolcano which are active in Holocene time also. Therefore A is the correct answer.
7. As we all know that the famous ring of fire is situated along the plate margin of Pacific plate. Besides famous hotspot volcanism namely Massive shield volcanoes of the Hawaii island is also situated approximately in the middle of Pacific ocean. Therefore, B is the correct answer.
8. Mauna Loa is the largest volcanic mountain in the world (approx. 17 km high from ocean bed). It is a kind of shield volcano with the caldera. Therefore, C is the correct answer.
