Answer 2

well, thinking of hawaii, which do you think?

Answer 3

volcanic?

Answer 4

yep! :)

Answer 5

thank you:)

Answer 6

no problem :)

Answer 8

folded and volcanic mountains
fault-block and uplifted mountains
volcanic and fault-block mountains
fault-block and folded mountains

Answer 9

"As a result of pressure, friction, and plate material melting in the mantle, earthquakes and volcanoes are common near convergent boundaries. When two plates move towards one another, they form either a subduction zone or a continental collision." en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Convergent_boundary

Answer 11

B?

Answer 12

well, since it says that volcanoes are common, we might want to decipher between A and C

Answer 13

C?

Answer 14

yep

Answer 15

Which statement is true about the process of accretion?

Answer 16

It results in embedded volcanic island arcs and microcontinents being left behind.
It reduces continental landmasses while forming mountains along the edges of continents.
It causes fragments of crust to disconnect and drift away from continental landmasses.
It enlarges continental landmasses and forms mountains along the edges of continents

Answer 17

accretion is " a process by which material is added to a tectonic plate or a landmass. This material may be sediment, volcanic arcs, seamounts or other igneous features."

Answer 18

so we can eliminate B because it says reduce, and C because that would be deforming something. so were left with A and D
