Exam 3: Plate Tectonics

The yearly rate of tectonic plate movement is best measured in:

Which areas) on this world map is likely to have earthquakes?

Which feature on this figure is formed by melting of mantle above the slab?

What is being depicted by this figure?

Which location on this figure from the Investigation is located on a divergent plate boundary?

The plate boundary on the this figure is located between:

A force that is important in driving plate tectonics is:

Which areas) on this world map is likely to have volcanoes above sea level?

A triple junction is:

On the accompanying figure, what type of feature is located in the area of number 3?

The feature at location 3 is probably:

Which of the following does NOT describe continental rifting?

This figure shows a northwest-southeast line of islands and seamounts near Hawaii. If location 3 has the oldest rocks and Hawaii 1) has the youngest rocks, which way is the plate moving with respect to the hot spot?

If the area shown in this figure is 240 kilometers wide, and the oldest crest is 4 million years old, what was the approximate rate of seafloor spreading across this ridge?

The layer of Earth that behaves as a dynamo electrical generator), producing the magnetic field is the:
