Question

A linear region of land with many shallow earthquakes. There is little to no active volcanism. Mountains are generally not present or only exist as gentle hills.

Select one:

a. Transform Boundary

b. Continent-Continent Convergent Boundary

c. Continent-Ocean Convergent Boundary

d. Ocean-Ocean Convergent Boundary

e. Divergent Boundary

Quakes and volcanic activity are continuously found along this mostly underwater boundary. The mountain range it creates is by far the longest on the planet.

Select one:

a. Transform Boundary

b. Continent-Continent Convergent Boundary

c. Continent-Ocean Convergent Boundary

d. Ocean-Ocean Convergent Boundary

e. Divergent Boundary

Explanation / Answer

Shallow earthquakes are characteristics of transform boundary and in this type of boundary there is very little to no volcano activity apart from that there are genrerally no mountains present or if it exists then it only exists as gentle hills and hence "a"Transform Boundary is correct.

Quakes and volcanic activity are continuously found along divergent boundary mostly underwater boundary. The mountain range it creates is by far the longest on the planet and hence "e" Divergent Boundary is correct.
