plates

During the process of mountain building, earthquakes sometimes occur along continental-continental convergent boundaries. Which statement best describes the motion of the plates along these boundaries that causes the earthquakes?

The plates smash together with no subduction

Occasionally earthquakes occur as a result of collisions along oceanic-continental convergent boundaries. Where do these earthquakes most likely occur?

on land but close to oceans

Many earthquakes occur near mid-ocean ridges but do not destroy or form new crust. Instead, plates slip past each other. Which kind of boundary is found at these earthquake locations?

transform boundary between two ocean plates

Study the image. Which feature is modeled in the diagram

A convergent boundary is formed.

Study this image. Which statement correctly explains what is happening in the image?

A rift valley is forming.

Study the map. Which plate borders the Philippine Plate?

Eurasian

Many more earthquakes occur along the San Andreas Fault in California than in other parts of the United States. Scientists claim that these earthquakes are caused by activity along a transform plate boundary. Which evidence would best support this claim?

Plates slip past each other at the boundary.

Study the image. Which phrase describes this plate boundary

is a region where earthquakes occur

In which two places do divergent boundaries occur

land and oceans
