Question

4 multiple choice 2 points what happens when tectonic plates move apart at plate boundaries? mountains are formed. new crust is created. hurricanes develop. earthquakes occur. 5 multiple choice 2 points which landform is characterized by its underground chambers and passages created by the dissolution of limestone? mesa cave gorge fjord 6 multiple choice 2 points what happens when two tectonic plates collide? they create a vacuum in space. they move apart. they slide past each other. they push against each other and can create mountains.

Explanation:

• Question 4: When tectonic plates move apart (divergent boundary), magma rises and new crust is formed. Mountains are formed at convergent boundaries (plates colliding). Hurricanes are weather - related (atmospheric processes). Earthquakes can occur at various boundaries but new crust creation is specific to divergent boundaries.
• Question 5: A cave (especially a limestone cave) is formed by the dissolution of limestone. A mesa is a flat - topped landform. A gorge is a deep valley with steep sides (usually formed by river erosion). A fjord is a long, narrow sea inlet (formed by glacial activity).
• Question 6: When two tectonic plates collide (convergent boundary), they push against each other. This can lead to mountain formation (e.g., Himalayas). They do not create a vacuum in space. Moving apart is for divergent boundaries and sliding past each other is for transform boundaries.

Answer:

1. New crust is created.
2. Cave
3. They push against each other and can create mountains.
