Question

which would likely occur at the plate boundary shown above?
rift valleys
volcanoes
earthquakes
island formation
question 2
which of the following best describes the relationship between the age of rocks and the mid - oceanic ridge?
there is no relationship between the age of rocks and distance from the ridge.
the closer the rocks are to the ridge, the older the rocks.
rocks further away from the ridge are older.
rocks that are at lower depths are older.

Explanation:

For the first question, earthquakes are common at plate boundaries as the movement and interaction of tectonic plates release energy. For the second question, new rock is formed at mid - oceanic ridges, so rocks further away from the ridge are older as they have been pushed out over time.

Answer:

1. C. earthquakes
2. C. Rocks further away from the ridge are older.
