30sS10ES–Ia-j-36.2 - Q3
What do earthquakes, volcanoes, and mountains have in common?
They occur suddenly.
They are measured using seismographs.
They result from plate movement.
They cause major hazards.
30sS10ES–Ia-j-36.2 - Q4
Where do most shallow earthquakes originate?
Near the trenches
At the middle of the plate
At the edge of the plate
In between the interacting plates
30sS10ES–Ia-j-36.2 - Q5
What is the BEST thing to do to prepare for the occurrence of natural hazards like earthquakes, tsunamis, and volcanic eruptions?
When hazard strikes, don’t panic. Stay calm.
Develop an evacuation and communication plan.
30sS10ES–Ia-j-36.5 - Q6
What is the basis for classifying the plate boundaries?
Location
Movement
30sS10ES–Ia-j-36.2 - Q7
Which force operates in the edges of the plate boundaries and resists the motion of the plates?
Slab pull
Slab resistance
30sS10ES–Ia-j-36.2 - Q8
Why does the basaltic oceanic crust always subduct beneath the granitic continental crust?
less dense than the continental crust.
denser than the continental crust.
30sS10ES–Ia-j-36.2 - Q9
Which differentiates a divergent plate boundary from a convergent plate boundary?
The divergent plate boundary is creating new crust while convergent plate boundary is melting the old crust.
The divergent plate boundary and convergent plate boundary are both destroying the old part of the crust and replace the crust with new layers of igneous rocks.

What happens when two oceanic plate moves towards each other?
The denser oceanic plate moves above the less dense oceanic plate.
The denser oceanic plate moves below the less dense oceanic plate.
