Question 18 • OH-Environmental Science CR

Volcanic eruptions that occur as a result of continental shifting are typically found where

Answer
A
the crust is thickened and the tectonic plates converge.
B
the crust is thinned and the tectonic plates diverge.
C
the crust diverges and the tectonic plates submerge.
D
the crust emerges and the tectonic plates converge.

Explanation

Continental shifting can pull tectonic plates apart at a divergent boundary. This stretches and thins the crust, allowing magma to rise and produce volcanic eruptions. So the correct choice is “the crust is thinned and the tectonic plates diverge.”
