The country of Iceland sits on a boundary between two diverging tectonic plates. A geologic map of Iceland shows three regions of volcanic rock, which are different ages. The pattern of volcanic rock shows that Iceland is diverging or spreading apart.

Select the box or boxes that represent the YOUNGEST rock region.

The Hawaiian islands are located near the center of the pacific plate. The islands were formed as the Pacific plate moved over a hot spot located beneath the oceanic crust. This processes occurs at a slow rate. The island named Hawaii in the Southest corner is approximately 400,000 years old, the youngest of the island chain.

Select the dotted box of the OLDEST island in the diagram if the hotspot is located under Hawaii.

One type of plate boundary is Divergent.
Which motion of the arrows would go in the boxes to show how the convection currents in the mantle would move at a divergent plate boundary?

Select the box or boxes that represent the YOUNGEST rock region.

One type of plate boundary is Convergent.

Which motion of the arrows would go in the boxes to show how the convection currents in the mantle would move at a convergent plate boundary?

The composition of Earth from its surface to its center is 6,300 kilometers (km) down can be studied using seismic waves. There are two basic types of seismic waves, S-waves and P-waves. Students studying Earth's interior are given the following information about P and S waves and how they travel through Earth.
Select 4 statements that can be concluded from the information above:
(DRAW a picture if you need to!)

There is a change in density occuring at 30km

There is a liquid layer from 2,900km to 5,200km

The densest material is found from 2,900km to 5,200km

The densest material is found from 5,200km to 6,300km

There is a boundary between solid and liquid layers at 30km

There is a density change that occurs at 2,900km and 5,200km

Which feature does NOT result from seismic activity?

faults

volcanos

glacial deposits

folded rock layers

In a very young planet, also called a protoplanet, elements are distributed evenly throughout. As teh protoplanet ages, the elements separate, leading to formation of layers with different element concentrations. Some of these elements are listed in the table belwo, along with their atomic mass and laboratory Density.

Choose where each element will be in the layers (mantle & core) after the planet differentiates into layers.

a magma chamber

tectonic plate

fault line

volcanic vent
