• Mantle

• Ocean

A conservative plate boundary is where:

• Two plates are moving apart

• Two plates are moving towards each other

• Two plates are moving past each other

• The two plates aren't moving

What occurrence is common along a conservative plate boundary?

• Volcanoes

• Earthquakes

• Tsunamis

• Wildfires

Where do volcanoes occur?

• Along all plate boundaries

• Along conservative plate boundaries

• Only around the ring of fire

• At constructive and destructive plate boundaries

How high does the Richter Scale go to?

• 8

• 10

• 12

• 14

Which of these is not an impact of volcanoes?

• Damage to property

• Natural habitats are disrupted/destroyed

• Damage/loss of life

• Permanent damage to soils

What does a seismometer measure?

• Severity of a volcanic eruption

• Severity of incoming tsunami

• Amount of the population at risk of disaster

• Strength of earthquake

Earthquakes are made up of Primary waves, (a)   waves, Love waves and Rayleigh waves.
