Mttc Integrated Science (Earth And Space Sciences) Elaborated Questions And Answers Theory of Plate Tectonics - CORRECT ANSWER-A theory stating that Earth's lithosphere is broken into huge plates that move and change in size over time - explains the process of continental drift - theory is a fusion on the theories of continental drift and seafloor spreading - continents are not floating on the ocean, rather they are rooted What are the 10 major plates of the Earth's lithosphere? - C...

Lahar CORRECT ANSWER mudflow originating from a volcanic slope, also called mass wasting events What is a geological example of both a hot spot AND divergent plate boundary location? CORRECT ANSWER Iceland Where is magma generated? CORRECT ANSWER Uppermost mantle Where is the greatest amount of magma created? CORRECT ANSWER At divergent plate boundaries. A lesser amount is formed at subduction zones. It can also be formed when crustal rocks melt. Geothermal Gradient CORRECT ANSWER Wh...

What is associated with a divergent plate boundary? Name a divergent plate boundary.Earthquakes, volcanicm and rifting. The mid-atlantic Ridge. At what type of boundary do the deepest ...

Describe what happens when two tectonic plates collide along a subduction zone. correct answers One plates moves under another and sinks into Earth's mantle. A trench may be formed Explain how subduction leads to volcanic activity correct answers One plate is pushed down and melted as molten material/ magma rises to the surface near the zone What areas exhibit island arcs correct answers Coast of Asia (Philippines, Ryukyu, Japan, Kuril, and Aleutian) What areas exhibit a growing nonvol...
