In what direction is the West Essos Plate moving with respect to the Sothoryos Plate? a. Southwest c. Southeast b. Northwest d, Northeast Which of the following statements is(are) TRUE regarding the plate boundary discussed above n question 22? 27. a. There would be no volcanism at this type of plate boundary b. For this type of plate boundary, volcanism would be characterized by many explosive eruptions. c. This type of plate boundary would be characterized by basalt flows and nonexplosive volcanism. d. None of the above statements are true Midterm ExaminationExplanation / Answer
Q.21. Subduction zone plate boundary exists along the northern most boundary of the West Essos Plate. So, in this condition we predict "thrust faults". Because in the margin of subduction zones thrusts are found.
Q.22. Subduction zone
Q.23. The south west Essos plate is subducting to the northwest under the Sothoryos plate.
