As you approach the center of the earth what happens to the temperature, pressure , and density.

• They all increase
• They all decrease
• They remain the same
• They disappear

Volcanoes found away from plate boundaries, such as Hawaii, are known as 

• hot spots
• calderas
• trenches
• mid-ocean ridges

A strike-slip fault occurs because of 

• tension
• compression
• shearing

A reverse fault occurs because of 

• tension
