What do these volcanoes indicate about plate tectonics in the region?

a)

The volcanoes form an island arc, indicating a converging plate boundary.

b)

The volcanoes form a line, indicating a diverging plate boundary.

c)

Two plates are moving past each other, causing faulting and magma formation.

d)

Two plates are moving apart, creating new seafloor.

133.

The model shows two continental plates. The folded mountains in this model form at which type of plate boundary?

a)

Transform boundary

b)

Divergent boundary

c)

Subduction boundary

d)

Convergent boundary

Students examine a map that shows the movement of the two tectonic plates.

Each student writes a description of the tectonic activity and why they think it is occurring. Which explanation best describes the impact of Newton’s Laws on the movement of these plates?

a)

The North American Plate is subducting underneath the Eurasian Plate because equal and opposite forces are acting on them.

b)

The forces acting on both plates cause them to diverge until they are acted upon by another force.

c)

The Eurasian Plate and the North American Plate are converging because the forces acting on them are balanced.

d)

Balanced forces are acting on the Eurasian Plate and the North American Plate causing them to diverge.

Alfred Wegener's Theory of Continental Drift states that the continents were once joined together in a giant landmass that broke apart, and that the continents then drifted to their current locations. One piece of evidence supporting this theory is the shapes of the continents, which seem to fit together like pieces of a puzzle. The map shows evidence supporting Wegener's ideas. The shape of the eastern coast of South America appears to fit together with —

a)

eastern North America

b)

eastern Australia

c)

southern North America

d)

western Africa
