b. False
The correct answer is - b. False.
Hotspot volcanoes are found on places where a tectonic plate passes over a hotspot. Hotspots, unlike the other types of volcanoes that appear on borderlines between tectonic plates, are not like that, but instead they are on the pretty much same spot from their beginning till the end. Even when a tectonic plate passes over them they manage to break through the crust and come out on the surface and continue their activity, and their shift in position is minor and is caused by the stretching of the crust diagonally over time as the plate moves.
The claim that hotspot volcanoes occur along subduction zones is incorrect. Hotspot volcanoes occur above mantle hotspots, not at subduction zones.
The statement 'Hotspot volcanoes occur along subduction zones' is False. Hotspot volcanoes are not associated with subduction zones, but instead, they occur above a plume of hot and molten rock within the Earth's mantle, also known as a hotspot. In contrast, subduction zones, where one tectonic plate is forced under another, are associated with volcanic activity, but these are typically not hotspot volcanoes.

The correct answer to the question "What causes a 'V' shaped valley?" is Option 2: River erosion.
A 'V' shaped valley is formed by the erosive action of a river or stream over time. As the river flows, it erodes the surrounding rocks and sediments, gradually deepening and widening its channel. The erosive forces of the water, combined with the movement of sediment and debris carried by the river, carve out a distinct 'V' shape.
The process of river erosion involves the wearing away of the riverbed and banks through several mechanisms. Firstly, hydraulic action occurs when the force of the moving water dislodges and carries away loose particles of rock and soil. Secondly, abrasion or corrasion happens as the river's load of sediments scours and rubs against the riverbed, further deepening and widening the channel. Finally, corrosion or solution occurs when the river's water chemically dissolves certain types of rocks, such as limestone.
Over time, these erosive processes shape the landscape, creating a 'V' shaped valley with steep sides and a narrow bottom. The steep sides of the valley are known as valley walls or valley slopes, while the narrow bottom is called the valley floor or channel.
It is important to note that while glacial erosion can also create U-shaped valleys, wind erosion and mass wasting (such as landslides or rockfalls) are not typically responsible for the formation of 'V' shaped valleys.
B. Europe is the world's second smallest continent.
C. The European Union has the largest economy in the world.
D. The European Union has a limited role in the foreign policy of member nations.
Europe's coastal location and temperate oceanic climate, both suitable for trade, have enabled the European Union to have the largest economy in the world. The EU accounts for an estimated 30% of the gross world product, ahead of the United States, China, and Japan.
