7.10 A

How does the answer to Part A explain the formation of the Hawaiian Islands?

• Plates slide away from each other, allowing magma to rise up into the crust.

• Plates slide toward each other, pushing up on one another, and resulting in the various islands.

• Magma erupts at various points as plates slide by each other, resulting in the various islands.

• Magma in the mantle rises into the crust, forming a hotspot, and breaks through the crust, forming a volcano.

Which type of plate boundary is most likely responsible for the formation of mountains in areas where rocks are chemically and geologically the same?

• Convergent

• Divergent

• Transform

• Subduction

Describe how the similarity in rock types between the Franklin Mountains and eastern Antarctica provides evidence for plate tectonics.

• It shows they were once connected

• It indicates different origins

• It suggests different ages

• It proves they are unrelated
