Module 1: Summative Assessment

Predict what geologic features could result out of this plate boundary (three possible answers).

In a hot spot, Volcano A is on top of the mantle plume, Volcano B is 10 km farther from A while Volcano C is the farthest. What can you infer about the ages of the volcanoes?

• Volcano A is older than C

• Volcano B is the oldest

• Volcano B is the youngest

• Volcano B is younger than C

Right in the middle of an island, you can find a rift valley. What type of plate boundary exists on that island?

• convergent

• divergent

• normal fault

• transform fault

Plates A and B shows a divergent boundary. If plate C is adjacent to both plates and does not show any relative motion, what type of plate boundary is present between A and C?

What geologic event is most likely to happen at transform fault boundary?

• earthquake

• mountain formation

• rift valley formation

• volcanic eruption
