Question

  1. what type of plate boundary was shown in hawaii? a. convergent boundary b. transform boundary c. sliding boundary d. divergent boundary 18. how do scientists measure earthquakes on the other side of the world? a. using satellite imagery only b. through temperature changes c. using multiple seismograph stations d. by measuring ocean waves

Explanation:

Brief Explanations
  1. Hawaii is associated with a hotspot in the middle of a tectonic plate, not a typical plate - boundary type. However, if considering the closest in the options, a hotspot can be thought of in relation to the movement of the plate over a stationary magma source. But among the given options, none of the typical plate - boundary types (convergent, transform, divergent) directly apply as Hawaii is not at a traditional plate boundary. But if we assume the question is about the movement of the Pacific Plate over the Hawaiian hotspot, it can be related to the overall movement of the plate. A convergent boundary is where plates come together, a transform boundary is where they slide past each other, and a divergent boundary is where they move apart. Since Hawaii is not at a boundary where plates interact in these ways, this question seems a bit mis - framed. But if we must choose, none of the options are correct in a strict sense for Hawaii's situation.
  2. Scientists measure earthquakes on the other side of the world using multiple seismograph stations. Seismographs detect the seismic waves generated by earthquakes. Satellite imagery can be used for some aspects related to the Earth's surface changes but not the primary way to measure distant earthquakes. Measuring ocean waves is not related to measuring earthquakes on the other side of the world, and temperature changes are not used to measure earthquakes.

Answer:

  1. None of the above (if we consider the uniqueness of Hawaii's hotspot situation)
  2. c. Using multiple seismograph stations
