[Link]
[Link]
[Link]
3. Shallow earthquakes are associated with
__________.
[Link] eruption
B.a tsunami in the ocean
C. subduction process
D. mountain formation
4. In the convergence between a continental
and an oceanic plate, there is subduction.

support this fact?
A. One plate carries water along with it.

B. transform fault boundary
C. divergent plate boundary
D. subducting plates
12. Which of the following correctly illustrates
seafloor spreading?

movement, results in boundaries where
plates are

subducting
A. a only B. b only
C. a and b D. a, b, and c
14. Most of the Philippine Islands were once
part of island arcs. This means that along with
this boundary, there once existed two
___________.

B. diverging plates
C. converging oceanic plates
D. plates sliding past each other
15. Why are volcanoes mostly found at
places where continents meet the seas?
A. It is where water meets land.
B. It is where the oceanic plates subduct
under the continental plate.
C. Underneath it is a subduction zone.
D. More magma is produced under the
ground because of the muddy seafloor.
