1. Base your answer to the following question on the cross section below, which shows the boundary between two lithospheric plates. Point_Y is a location in the continental lithosphere. The depth below Earth's surface is labeled in kilometers. Trench c Oceanic lithosphere 100 km 200 km (Not drawn to scaie) Continental lithosphere 100 km Between which two lithospheric plates could this boundary be located? A) South American Plate and African Plate © Nazca Plate and South American Plate B) Scotia Plate and Antarctic Plate D) African Plate and Arabian Plate 2. The Mariana Trench was most likely created by the A) convergence of the Pacific and Philippine Plates B) divergence of the Eurasian and Philippine Plates C) sliding of the Pacific Plate past the North American Plate D) movement of the Pacific Plate over the Hawaii Hot Spot 3. At which plate boundary is one lithospheric plate sliding under another? A) Nazca Plate and Antarctic Plate B) Pacific Plate and Indian-Australian Plate C) Indian-Australian Plate and Antarctic Plate D) Nazca Plate and Pacific Plate 4. When two tectonic plates collide, oceanic crust usually subducts beneath continental crust because oceanic crust is primarily composed of igneous rock that has A) low density and is mafic B) low density and is felsic C) high density and is mafic D) high density and is felsic 5. On which plate is the Hawaii Hot Spot located? A) South American B) Antarctic C) Nazca D) Pacific 6. Active volcanoes are most abundant along the A) edges of tectonic plates B) eastern coastline of continents C) 23.5°N and 23.5° S parallels of latitude D) equatorial ocean floor . Which diagram best shows the type of plate boundary found between the China Plate and the Philippine Plate? B) a Asthenosphare Asthenosphers Convergent Complex
