The two options of boundaries given in this simulation are Convergent and Divergent.
At the convergent boundary, the plates collide when you press play.
According to the map, mountains are formed at the convergent boundary.
The highest elevation part of the continent contains continental sediments.
The green color with white markings represents metamorphic rock.
Once you clicked "start" at the divergent boundary, the original continent split into two continents and each continued to move away from the other.
At the divergent boundary, new rock is being formed from the magma.
The symbol that represents volcanoes is a red triangle.
9. Volcanoes and earthquakes occur at plate boundaries. Why?
*
10. Explain why convergent boundaries have more metamorphic rocks while divergent boundaries have more igneous rocks.
*
9. Volcanoes and earthquakes occur at plate boundaries because plate boundaries are dynamic zones where the Earth's tectonic plates interact and collide with each other. Volcanoes form when magma rises from the mantle and erupts onto the Earth's surface through cracks or vents in the Earth's crust, which often occur at convergent and divergent plate boundaries. Earthquakes, on the other hand, are caused by the release of stored energy in the Earth's crust when the plates move and interact with each other. The stress and friction created at plate boundaries result in the occurrence of seismic activity.
10. Convergent boundaries have more metamorphic rocks because these boundaries involve the collision or subduction of tectonic plates. When two plates collide, immense pressure and heat build up, causing the rocks to undergo chemical and structural changes. This process, known as metamorphism, leads to the formation of metamorphic rocks.
Divergent boundaries, on the other hand, have more igneous rocks because these boundaries involve the separation or divergence of tectonic plates. As the plates move apart, magma from the mantle rises to fill the gap and solidifies on the Earth's surface, forming igneous rocks. This process, known as volcanic activity, is common at divergent boundaries and results in the formation of igneous rocks.
1. The two options of boundaries given in this simulation are Convergent and Divergent.
To access the simulation and find the answer, follow these steps:
- Open the simulation or website mentioned in the question.
- Look for an option or menu titled "Boundaries" or "Boundary Types."
- Click or select this option to see the available choices.
- The two options should be listed as Convergent and Divergent.
2. At the convergent boundary when you press play, the plates collide.
To find this answer in the simulation:
- Make sure the simulation is running or press the "Play" button.
- Observe the movement or interaction of the plates at the convergent boundary.
- If the plates are moving towards each other and colliding, then that is the correct answer.
3. According to your map, mountains are formed at the convergent boundary.
To find this answer in the simulation:
- Look for a map representation or visualization of the convergent boundary.
- Check if there are elevated areas or landforms depicted on the map at the location of the convergent boundary.
- If mountains are shown or labeled at this boundary, that is the correct answer.
4. When you click on the highest elevation part of your continent with the "Take Sample" tool, continental sediments are found there.
To find this answer in the simulation:
- Locate and click on the highest point or area on the continent using the "Take Sample" tool.
- Look for information or data displayed after taking the sample.
- If it mentions continental sediments, then that is the correct answer.
5. The green color with white markings represents metamorphic rock.
To find this answer in the simulation:
- Look for a color-coded key or legend that represents different rock types.
- Find the color that corresponds to the green color with white markings.
- Check the information or label associated with that color, and if it mentions metamorphic rock, that is the correct answer.
6. Once you clicked "start," the original continent split into two continents and each continued to move away from the other.
To find this answer in the simulation:
- Begin by clicking the "Reset Plates" option.
- Choose the appropriate settings for the plates and the boundary.
- Press the "Start" button to initiate the simulation.
- Observe the movement or behavior of the continent as indicated in the options.
- If it splits into two continents moving away from each other, that is the correct answer.
7. At the divergent boundary, new rock is being formed from the magma.
To find this answer in the simulation:
- Use the "Draw Cross Section" tool to create a cross-section across the divergent boundary.
- Analyze the visuals or data provided in the cross-section view.
- If it shows the formation of new rock from magma, that is the correct answer.
8. The symbol representing volcanoes is a red triangle.
To find this answer in the simulation:
- Turn on the toggle buttons for both Volcanoes and Earthquakes.
- Access the "Keys and Options" menu.
- Look for an option or tab labeled "Seismic Data" or "Key: Seismic."
- Check the provided key for volcano symbols.
- If a red triangle is used to represent volcanoes, that is the correct answer.
