Question

review it: select the statement(s) that accurately describe ways plate tectonics can change earths surface. a subduction zone occurs where an oceanic plate slides under a continental plate. earthquakes rarely occur along transform boundaries. changes to earths surface caused by plate tectonics can take millions of years to occur. mountain ranges and volcanic islands can form along divergent boundaries. where two plates move away from each other, volcanoes can form from the molten rock moving up from earths mantle.

Explanation:

• Subduction occurs when an oceanic plate slides under a continental plate.
• Earthquakes are common along transform boundaries.
• Plate - tectonic changes can take millions of years.
• Mountain ranges and volcanic islands form at convergent boundaries, not divergent ones.
• At divergent boundaries, molten rock from the mantle can form volcanoes as plates move apart.

Answer:

A. A subduction zone occurs where an oceanic plate slides under a continental plate.
C. Changes to Earth's surface caused by plate tectonics can take millions of years to occur.
E. Where two plates move away from each other, volcanoes can form from the molten rock moving up from Earth's mantle.
