What is the primary relationship between active volcanoes and plate tectonic boundaries?
- Active volcanoes occur mostly near transform boundaries.
- Active volcanoes are primarily found along convergent and divergent boundaries. (correct)
- Active volcanoes are randomly distributed across continents.
- Active volcanoes are exclusively associated with the continental crust.
Which of the following correctly describes the distribution of earthquake epicenters?
Which of the following correctly describes the distribution of earthquake epicenters?
- Earthquake epicenters are primarily located in the interior of tectonic plates.
- Earthquake epicenters occur in areas with low volcanic activity.
- Earthquake epicenters are found exclusively along mid-ocean ridges.
- Earthquake epicenters are concentrated at the edges of tectonic plates. (correct)
How do major mountain belts relate to plate tectonic theory?
How do major mountain belts relate to plate tectonic theory?
- Major mountain belts are formed entirely by volcanic activity.
