Question

1 multiple choice 2 points what do we call the boundary where tectonic plates move away from each other? subduction boundary transform boundary divergent boundary convergent boundary 2 multiple choice 2 points how do glaciers shape the land? by causing earthquakes by moving slowly and carving out valleys by melting quickly by making it warmer 3 multiple choice 2 points earthquakes, tectonic movement and volcanic eruptions are all examples of? endogenic forces exogenic forces

Explanation:

Brief Explanations
  1. Tectonic plates moving away from each other is a divergent boundary. Subduction is part of convergent boundaries (one plate goes under another). Transform boundaries are where plates slide past each other.
  2. Glaciers move slowly (like continental or alpine glaciers) and carve out valleys (e.g., U - shaped valleys). Earthquakes are due to tectonic activity, melting quickly doesn't shape land in a significant geological sense, and making it warmer is not how glaciers shape land.
  3. Endogenic forces come from within the Earth (like the processes in the question). Exogenic forces are from the Earth's surface (e.g., weathering, erosion by wind/water).

Answer:

  1. C. Divergent boundary
  2. B. By moving slowly and carving out valleys
  3. A. Endogenic forces
