What is the magnitude of an earthquake?

• How much damage the earthquake does
• The distance the earthquake travels 
• Whether the earthquake is in a rich or poor country

Which of these plate boundaries does not have volcanoes along it?

• Constructive
• Destructive
• Conservative

What is the subduction zone on a destructive plat boundary?

• The point where the oceanic plate goes underneath the continental plate

• The point where two plates collide and force each other upwards
• The point where earthquakes and no volcanoes form
