Question

10 multiple choice 1 point a city is known for many strong earthquakes but has no volcanoes. which plate boundary type is probably nearby? oceanic - oceanic convergent boundary. divergent boundary. continental - continental convergent boundary. transform boundary. 11 matching 1 point use the images below to identify the type of plate movement

Explanation:

1. At transform boundaries, plates slide past each other horizontally. This movement causes strong earthquakes due to the friction and stress build - up. Since there is no subduction or up - welling of magma in the same way as in convergent or divergent boundaries, there are usually no volcanoes.
2. For question 11, without seeing the actual images clearly, in general, the first image (if it shows two plates moving apart) is a divergent boundary where new crust is formed. The second image (if it shows one plate going under another) is a convergent boundary with subduction. The third image (if it shows plates sliding past each other) is a transform boundary.

Answer:

1. D. Transform boundary
2. Without clear images: If image 1 shows plates moving apart - Divergent boundary; If image 2 shows subduction - Convergent boundary; If image 3 shows plates sliding - Transform boundary
