Which of the following can we expect to find at a mid-ocean range?

• relatively young rocks

• reverse fault

• very ancient rocks

• thich accumulation of sediments

Why does the oceanic crust sink beneath the continental crust at then subduction zone?

• The oceanic crust has a greater density.

• The oceanic crust is pulled downward by the Earth's magnetic field.

• The oceanic crust is pushed from the ridge.

• The continental crust has a denser composition.

What happens when two oceanic plates collide?

• The hot spot will form.

• The volcano island arc will form.

• The volcanoes on the edge of the continent will form.

• The volcano along the mid-oceanic ridge will form.
