According to the plate interactions that are occurring in Iceland, which of the following geologic activities and landforms would NOT occur?


a) As these lithospheric plates divide new crust is created.
b) As these lithospheric plates divide volcanic activity will occur.
c) As these lithospheric plates divide earthquakes and rift valley's will be created.
d) As these lithospheric plates divide subduction and deep sea trenches will occur.

The image shows the Juan de Fuca Plate interacting with the North American Plate. Which of the following best explains the geologic and landforms located in this region of the United States?


a) As the Juan de Fuca Plate collides with the North American Plate it is subducted under creating a volcanic arc.
b) As the Juan de Fuca Plate separates with the North American Plate new crust is created causing a volcanic arc.
c) As the Juan de Fuca Plate slides past the North American Plate earthquakes and volcanoes occur.
d) All of the answer choices

At which of the following plate boundaries would you find mid-ocean ridges, as well as new crust being formed?


a) Eurasian plate and the Indo-Australian plate boundary
b) North American plate and the Pacific plate boundary
c) Nazca plate and the South American plate boundary
d) South American plate and the African plate boundary

At which of the following plate motions would you NOT expect to experience any volcanic activity?


a) Transform
b) Divergent
c) Convergent
d) All of the answer choices

In some areas of the world, like California and Japan, earthquakes are common occurrence. How can this best be explained?


a) The strong ocean currents are undermining both areas causing earthquakes.
b) Both areas are subjected to strong ocean wind and waves that causes earthquakes.
c) Both areas are located near the edge of the Pacific Ocean, the unstable sand cause's earthquakes.
d) Both areas are on the boundary of active plate margins, the motion of the plates causes earthquakes.
