The map shows the boundaries of tectonic plates.  Several cities on the map are labeled. A company wants to build skyscrapers in all of these cities.  Which two cities would earthquake-resistant technology be most important in building these skyscrapers?

The picture shows an island chain formed by a hot spot.  Which direction is the plate moving?

The map below shows the relative ages of oceanic crust.  The location of North America, South American , Hawaii, and four plates are labeled.  The picture on the right shows the Hawaiian Islands.  The islands formed as the Pacific plate moved over a hot spot located beneath oceanic crust.  This process occurred long after the oceanic crust had been formed.  How old is Kauai?

Below is a picture of the Ring of Fire with marked volcano locations (red triangles). The Ring of Fire is famous because it is an area that surrounds the Pacific Ocean that has a high number of earthquakes and volcanoes. Based on the picture and marked locations, most of the volcanoes formed in the ring of fire were formed by which boundary types? (check 2)
