Earthquakes and volcanism are found directly along this almost always submerged

Question

Earthquakes and volcanism are found directly along this almost always submerged plate boundary. It is a line along which continents have been separated from one another.

Select one:

a. Transform Boundary

b. Continent-Continent Convergent Boundary

c. Continent-Ocean Convergent Boundary

d. Ocean-Ocean Convergent Boundary

e. Divergent Boundary

Question 2

This plate boundary can be found in either continental or oceanic crust. Earthquake epicenters are generally found directly along its boundary line. Volcanism is not unheard of along this type of boundary, but it is uncommon.

Select one:

a. Transform Boundary

b. Continent-Continent Convergent Boundary

c. Continent-Ocean Convergent Boundary

d. Ocean-Ocean Convergent Boundary

e. Divergent Boundary

Question 3

A significant and commonly deep linear trench is found directly along this plate boundary. Earthquakes are also common, where deep earthquakes occur away from the plate boundary and shallow earthquakes are found along it. Volcanoes parallel the trench as islands, but at a distance.

Select one:

a. Transform Boundary

b. Continent-Continent Convergent Boundary

c. Continent-Ocean Convergent Boundary

d. Ocean-Ocean Convergent Boundary

e. Divergent Boundary

Question 4

No active volcanoes are found along this boundary. Instead, very large and tall mountains dominate and are found directly along the boundary line, with earthquake activity that can range from small to massive.  

Select one:

a. Transform Boundary

b. Continent-Continent Convergent Boundary

c. Continent-Ocean Convergent Boundary

d. Ocean-Ocean Convergent Boundary

e. Divergent Boundary

Explanation / Answer

1. The answer is C- continent ocean convergent boundary

Here dense oceanic crust will subduct beneath the Continental crust Ina convergent plate and the Earthquake and volcanoes are formed at this boundary.

2.The answer is a-transform boundary

Epicenter normally occur along line where rupture occurs.They are formed along transform boundaries.

3.The answer is C- continent ocean convergent boundary

Normally we know that the trenches are formed along the coasts of the continents and volacnoes are parallel to trenches as islands

4.the answer is b-continent continent convergent boundary

We can take the example of Himalayas where there are earthquakes but no volcanoes.
