Question

1. what kind of waves are faster?

transform waves
p - waves
surface waves
s - waves

1. which of the plate boundaries are most likely to have both earthquakes and volcanoes?

divergent plate boundary
convergent plate boundary
transform plate boundary
circumventing plate boundary

1. a 2.9 magnitude earthquake out in the ocean that was measured to be 20km deep would most likely come from what type of boundary?

divergent plate boundary
convergent plate boundary
circumventing plate boundary

Explanation:

1. P - Waves are faster. They are compressional waves that can travel through solids, liquids, and gases.
2. Convergent Plate Boundaries are most likely to have both earthquakes and volcanoes. At these boundaries, one plate is forced under another (subduction), which can cause intense pressure, friction, and melting of the mantle, leading to volcanic activity and seismic events.
3. A 2.9 Magnitude Earthquake in the ocean 20km deep is most likely from a Divergent Plate Boundary. Divergent boundaries are often associated with relatively shallow - depth, smaller - magnitude earthquakes as tectonic plates move apart and magma rises to fill the gap.

Answer:

1. P - Waves
2. Convergent Plate Boundary
3. Divergent Plate Boundary
