Question 21
21.
What kind of boundaries are the red areas.
Convergent
Divergent
Transform
Subduction
Volcanic island chain
Volcanic mountain chain
Hot spot
Mid-ocean ridge
Question 23
23.
What tectonic activity created Hawaii?
It is a subduction zone that makes volcanoes as the oceanic crust melts under another oceanic crust.
It is an area of sea-floor spreading that creates volcanoes as two plates diverge.
It is an area of transform boundaries; two plates are pushing past each other and creating volcanoes as they go.
It is a hot spot that originates from the core and stays still as the plate moves over it creating volcanoes.
The gif shows which process occurring?
Seafloor Spreading
Continental Drift
Subduction
Convergent boundary
