A significant and commonly deep linear trench is found directly along this plate

Question

A significant and commonly deep linear trench is found directly along this plate boundary. Earthquakes are also common, where deep earthquakes occur away from the plate boundary and shallow earthquakes are found along it. Volcanoes parallel the trench as islands, but at a distance. Select one: a. Transform Boundary b. Continent-Continent Convergent Boundary c. Continent-Ocean Convergent Boundary e. Divergent Boundary No active volcanoes are found aloig this boundary. Instead, very large and tall mountains dominate and are found directly along the boundary line, with earthquake activity that can range from small to massive. 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

Question 1

A significant and commonly deep linear trench is found direcly along plate boundary . Earthquakes are also common where deep earthquake occurs away from the plate boundary and shallow earthquakes are found along it.volcanoes parallel the trench as islands , but at a distance .

ANSWER :

CORRECT ANSWER IS C (continental-ocean convergent boundary )

Explanation :

As here trench form , therefore plate boundary must be convergent . so option e and a not possible .

For continental-continental boundary trench can not from , hence option b not possible .

Only for the continental –ocean boundary deep and shallow earthquake possible and volcanoes are parallel to the trench (but at a distance ). Therefore option c is correct .

For ocean-ocean plate boundary only deep earth quake occurs .

Question 2

No active volcanoes are found along this boundary ,intensity very large and tall mountains dominate and are found directly along the boundary line , with earthquake activity that can form small to massive

ANSWER

Correct answer isb (Continental-continental convergent boundary)

Explanation

Only for the Continental-continental convergent boundary , tall mountain can form and small to large earthquake occurs . In this case no plate can move down ward . but during the collision material of plates moves upward and form tall mountain directly along boundary .
