SCIENCE WEEK 3 - LANDFORMS AND PROCESSES ALONG PLATE BOUNDARIES

Question 1

worldwide or local distribution of earthquakes in space, time, and magnitude; measure of frequency of earthquakes in a region

Answer 1

Seismicity

Question 2

is associated with two of the plate boundary types

Answer 2

Volcanism

Question 3

manifest themselves along volcanic rifts mostly in the ocean basins

Answer 3

Volcanism in Divergent Boundary

Question 4

make individual volcanoes on the plate on the collission process

Answer 4

Volcanism in Convergent Boundary

Question 5

4 Basic Landforms found along Plate Boundaries

Answer 5

Fold Mountains
Ocean Trenches
Volcanoes
Mid-ocean Ridges

Question 6

are large mountain ranges where the layers of rock within them have been crumpled as they have been forced together; they are formed at destructive or collisional plate boundaries.

Answer 6

Fold Mountains

Question 7

are deep water areas that run along a coastline which has a destructive plate margins; are created by subduction, and mark the point where the ocean crust is being pushed under the oceanic crust.

Answer 7

Ocean Trenches

Question 8

they created more than 80 percent of our planet’s surface,
laying the foundation that has been allowed life to thrive

Answer 8

Volcanoes

Question 9

volcanoes from here occur along oceanic-oceanic and oceanic-continental plates

Answer 9

Convergent Boundary

Question 10

as the Earth’s crust is pulled apart to create a new pathway for rising hot magma to flow onto the surface

Answer 10

Divergent Boundary

Question 11

form above a column of superheated magma called a mantle plume; is also known as intraplate volcanism

Answer 11

Hot Spot Volcanism

Question 12

a continous range of underwater volcanoes that looks like a seams on a baseball that wraps around the globe.

Answer 12

Mid-Ocean Ridges
