    2. BConstructive Boundary
  3. 3Name 4 reasons for some of the deaths caused by Hurricane Sandy.
    1. AWater (31 ppl died)
    2. BInhalation of sodium hydroxide (42 ppl died)

    7. GA plane accident (57 ppl died)
  4. 4Name this boundary/plate margin.Image for question 4
    1. ADestructive boundary
    2. BCollision boundary
  5. 5In a [blank_start]constructive boundary[blank_end], two plates move apart and as they do, [blank_start]magma[blank_end] rises up through the gap that is made. This forms [blank_start]volcanoes[blank_end]. However, since magma can easily [blank_start]escape[blank_end] at the surface, the volcano doesn't erupt with much force. [blank_start]Earthquakes[blank_end] are also found here. An example of a constructive boundary is the [blank_start]Mid-Atlantic Ridge[blank_end]. [blank_start]Oceanic[blank_end] plates are involved.
    1. Aconstructive boundary
    2. Bmagma
    3. Cvolcanoes
    4. Descape
    5. EEarthquakes
    6. FMid-Atlantic Ridge
    7. GOceanic
  6. 6In a [blank_start]destructive boundary[blank_end], a continental plate meets an [blank_start]oceanic[blank_end] one. The oceanic plate gets subducted under the continental one and as it does so, it [blank_start]melts[blank_end]. This is because of the [blank_start]friction[blank_end] caused by the movement between the plates. The melted oceanic plate is now [blank_start]magma[blank_end] and it rises through the gaps in the continental plate. If the magma reaches the surface, it forms a [blank_start]volcano[blank_end].
    1. Adestructive boundary
    2. Bcollision boundary
    3. Coceanic
    4. Dcontinental
    5. Emelts
    6. Ffreezes
    7. Gevaporates
    8. Hfriction
    9. Iheat
    10. Jpressure
    11. Kmagma
    12. Lwater
    13. Mrock
    14. Nvolcano
    15. Oearthquake
  7. 7Describe the distribution of volcanoes around the world.
    1. AHawaii (Kilauea volcano)
    2. BIceland (Katla volcano)
    3. CBetween South American plate and Africa plate
    4. DBetween South American plate and Nazca plate
    5. EHawaii (Mauna Loa)
  8. 8In a [blank_start]collision boundary[blank_end], 2 plates of similar [blank_start]densities[blank_end] (e.g. 2 continental plates) move towards each other. This causes the material between them to [blank_start]buckle[blank_end] and [blank_start]rise up[blank_end], forming [blank_start]fold mountains[blank_end]. Either 2 continental or 2 oceanic plates are involved, and an example of this boundary is the [blank_start]Himalayas[blank_end], which was formed by the [blank_start]Africa[blank_end] plate colliding with the Eurasian plate).
    1. Acollision boundary
    2. Bdensities
    3. Cbuckle
    4. Drise up
    5. Efold mountains
    6. FHimalayas
    7. GAfrica
  9. 9A [blank_start]conservative boundary[blank_end] exists where 2 plates don't directly [blank_start]collide[blank_end] but slide past each other along a [blank_start]fault[blank_end] (a weakness). No [blank_start]volcanoes[blank_end] are found along these plate boundaries, but earthquakes occur here. An example of this boundary is the [blank_start]San Andreas fault[blank_end] in California.
    1. Aconservative boundary
    2. Bconstructive boundary
    3. Ccollide
    4. Dconnect
    5. Efault
    6. Fflaw
    7. Gvolcanoes
    8. Hmountains
    9. ISan Andreas fault
    10. JAndes
  10. 10The government responded to the Hurricane Sandy damage by providing homeless shelters for those who lost their homes.
    1. ATrue
    2. BFalse
