Volcanic and Tectonic Landforms

What type of forces are evident at convergent plate boundaries? recessional mystical compressional shearing extensional

compressional

At what type of plate boundary might I find normal faulting? resurgent detergent convergent divergent transform

divergent

What characteristic (or characteristics) would you expect to find in a composite volcano? extremely explosive with steep slopes thin, runny lava and mafic minerals extremely thick lava and mafic minerals gently sloped and mostly made of rhyolite thin, runny lava and felsic minerals

extremely explosive with steep slopes

Assume that an earthquake with a magnitude of 4.6 and a depth of 14 km occurs in Smithville. Where is the focus of the earthquake? 4.6 miles north of Smithville 14 km south of Smithville 4.6 miles away from Smithville 14 km beneath Smithville

14 km beneath Smithville

You are on the island of Arewedoneyet. It is a volcano currently forming at an active "Hot Spot." Approximately 1750km away there is another island, which was formed 18.1 million years ago by the same hot spot. Based on these facts, how fast is the plate moving over this hot spot? 6.91 cm/yr 15.22 cm/yr 9.67 cm/yr 2.47 cm/yr 1.57 cm/yr

9.67 cm/yr 1750km x 1000,000 cm/km / 18,100,000 years = cm/yr

If this is an example of a left-lateral strike slip fault (seen from above), which two locations will become adjacent (next to each other) in the shortest amount of time? V and Y Z and X V and W X and Y Z and W V-y, z-W, X

Z and W W is above the line, to the right of Z which is below the line. With a left-lateral strike slip fault, W will move to the left and be adjacent of Z.

If this is a portion of the San Andreas Fault (seen from above), which two locations will become adjacent (next to each other) in the shortest amount of time? Z and W V and Y V and W X and Y Z and X

Z and W W is left and above Z With a right moving fault, San Adreas fault, W will move right and be directly above Z

Which is an example of an exogenic process? an earthquake at a subduction zone a hot spot eruption such as Hawaii a river carving through a mountain sea floor spreading a volcanic eruption along the ocean floor

a river carving through a mountain

What characteristic (or characteristics) would you expect to find in a shield volcano? gently sloped and mostly made of rhyolite thin, runny lava and felsic minerals extremely thick lava and mafic minerals thin, runny lava and mafic minerals extremely explosive and gently sloped

thin, runny lava and mafic minerals

Which type of plate boundary will generally have no volcanic activity associated with it? divergent (continental rupture) transform convergent (oceanic / continental) convergent (oceanic / oceanic) divergent (sea floor spreading)

transform
