APES Unit 4 MCQWhich of the following statements best describes the boundary between the two tectonic plates seen in the map? - correct answer The map illustrates a transform boundary, where tectonic plates slide past each other as the Pacific Plate moves northwest and the North American Plate moves southeast. The Atlantic Ocean is expanding as a result of plate tectonics. Which of the following explanations best identifies the type of plate boundary and processes occurring at the Mid-Atlanti...

APES Unit 4 AP College board Questions with solutions 2024 Which of the following is the best explanation for the formation of Hadley cells in the tropics, as seen in the diagram between 30 degree N and 30 degree S latitude? The sun warms the moist air at the equator and causes it to rise because of its lower density. As the warm air moves away from the equator, it cools, becomes denser , and then sinks. Which of the following is the best explanation for the deflection of the trade wind...

Volcanoes: Ring of Fire - answer-Exists because of spreading of sinking plates at plate boundaries interact with other Earth materials to produce rocks. Volcanic Vents - answer-An opening through which lava and other volcanic materials are extruded onto the surface. Volcanoes: Decompression Melting: - answer-Overlying pressure exerted on hot rock within the asthenosphere is decreased. Magma will begin to form even though the temperature is constant. Volcanoes: Decompression Melting: Hot...

Where and why do earthquakes occur? - ANSWER-Earthquakes occur along plate boundaries and faults due to rocks underground breaking along a fault Are faults the same as plate boundaries? - ANSWER-No; Faults are cracks in rocks/plates, and plate boundaries are where the plates end (Plate boundaries are all faults, but not all faults are plate boundaries - most are not) What are the major types of seismic waves? Which travels fastest? Which causes most damage? - ANSWER-P and S waves. S waves ...

Which of the following is the best explanation for the formation of Hadley cells in the tropics, as seen in the diagram between 30 degree N and 30 degree S latitude? - ANSWER The sun warms the moist air at the equator and causes it to rise because of its lower density. As the warm air moves away from the equator, it cools, becomes denser , and then sinks. Which of the following is the best explanation for the deflection of the trade winds in both hemispheres, as seen in the diagram above? - A...

APES Unit 4 Review - MRQ 2022/2023 Which of the following statements best describes the boundary between the two tectonic plates: the Relative motion of the North American & the Pacific Plate? - ANS The map illustrates a transform boundary, where tectonic plates slide past each other as the Pacific Plate moves northwest and the North American Plate moves southeast. (The San Andreas Fault is a transform boundary. The plates slide past each other in opposite directions, which can result in an ear...
