Question

which type of boundary results in the creation of new crust? *convergent boundarydivergent boundarytransform boundarysubduction boundaryexplain how the distribution of earthquakes and volcanoes around the world provides evidence for plate tectonics.earthquakes and volcanoes are unrelated to tectonic plate movement.earthquakes and volcanoes only occur near coastlines.earthquakes and volcanoes are concentrated along plate boundaries; this pattern aligns with the movement of tectonic plates.earthquakes and volcanoes are evenly distributed across the earths surface; there is no correlation with plate movement.

Explanation:

For the first question: Convergent, transform, and subduction boundaries either destroy crust or slide plates past each other without creating new crust. Divergent boundaries pull plates apart, allowing magma to rise and solidify into new crust.
For the second question: Plate tectonics theory states tectonic plate interactions cause geological activity. Earthquakes and volcanoes are not random or only coastal; they cluster along plate boundaries, matching the locations of plate movement and interaction.

Answer:

1. Divergent boundary
2. Earthquakes and volcanoes are concentrated along plate boundaries; this pattern aligns with the movement of tectonic plates.
