Upwelling is the intrusion or rising of magma to the surface of the earth. Where does upwelling

               process most likely occur?

            

• Abyssal Plain

• Mid-ocean ridge 

• Sea mounts

• Trench

How does Compressional Stress takes place?

• It commonly occurs in transform plate boundaries.

• It happens when the dominant force is directed away from each other.

• It happens when the two sides are pushed using equal force on the same axis.    

• It develops when the forces are directed towards each other but not along the same axis.

How does the rocks behave after the application of Compressional Stress?

• Be pulled apart

• Break apart  

• Fold or fracture

• Lengthen

What is the release of energy due to the process of disintegrating a part of an element that can

• Conduction

• Convection

• Radiation

• Radioactive Decaying

• I, II, III, IV, V, VI  

• I, V, VI, IV, III, II

• VI, II, III, V, IV, I 

• VI, V, IV, III, II, I

What happens to the rocks under Shear Stress? The rocks __________.    

• are pulled apart

Pacific Ocean basin is the largest, deepest, and oldest existing ocean basin. Through the formation of

                ocean basins, different features and structures are formed, why are undersea mountains flat?

                Because of the __________.
