What kind of boundaries are the red areas.
Convergent
Divergent
Transform
Subduction
Question 25
25.
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.
