Plate Tectonics and Volcano

Question 1

A mountain or hill, typically
conical, having a crater or vent
through which lava, rock
fragments, hot vapor, and gas are
being or have been erupted from
the earth’s crust.

Answer 1

Volcano

Question 2

A long, narrow, deep depression
in the ocean floor, typically one
running parallel to a plate
boundary and marking a
subduction zone.

Answer 2

Trench

Question 3

Plate under landmasses

Answer 3

Continental Plates

Question 4

Plate under the ocean

Answer 4

Oceanic Plates

Question 5

A path along the Pacific Ocean
characterized by active volcanoes and frequent earthquakes

Answer 5

Ring of Fire

Question 6

How are volcanoes distributed?

Answer 6

Most are concentrated on the edges of continents

Question 7

What happens to
the oceanic crust as it collides with the continental crust?

Answer 7

The oceanic plate is subducted under the continental plate due to the high density of the oceanic plate.

Question 8

What do you think may happen to
the leading edge of the oceanic crust as it
continues to move downward?

Answer 8

it will undergo subduction process.

Question 9

What is formed on top of continental crust?

Answer 9

Volcanoes

Question 10

How is a volcano formed?

Answer 10

One plate subducts beneath the other, resulting in a variety of earthquakes and a line of volcanoes on the overriding plate.

Question 11

What necessary precautions you
should do during a volcanic eruption?

Answer 11

• Limit your time outdoors and use a cloth mask.
• Avoid areas downwind and river valleys.
• Take temporary shelter from volcanic ash where you are.
• Cover ventilation openings, seal doors and windows.
• Avoid driving in heavy ash.
