Question

question 2 (10 points) examine the following geologic effects to answer the question. folded mountain ranges earthquakes volcanoes choose the label that best describes the appropriate effect. a transform boundary b convergent boundary c subduction d divergent boundary

Explanation:

1. Analyze each boundary type:

• Transform boundary (a): Mainly causes earthquakes (lateral sliding), not folded mountains or volcanoes typically.
• Convergent boundary (b): When two plates collide, it can form folded mountain ranges (e.g., Himalayas from Indian - Eurasian collision), cause earthquakes due to plate interaction, and if one plate subducts (a process at convergent boundaries), volcanoes can form (e.g., Pacific Ring of Fire).
• Subduction (c): It is a process that occurs at convergent boundaries, not a boundary type itself.
• Divergent boundary (d): Creates rifts, new oceanic crust, and can cause volcanoes (like mid - ocean ridges) but not folded mountain ranges (folded mountains are from convergence).

1. The given geologic effects (folded mountain ranges, earthquakes, volcanoes) are all associated with convergent boundaries.

Answer:

b. Convergent boundary
