Problem 19
Remember, because of isostasy the denser plate will be lower than the less dense plate. If oceanic and continental crust collided, based on their densities the _________ crust would sink below the __________ crust. a. continental; oceanic b. oceanic; continental
Problem 26
Which of the following places represent a Wadati-Benioff zone? a. \(10^{\circ} \mathrm{S}, 110^{\circ} \mathrm{W}\) b. \(0^{\circ}, 0^{\circ}\) c. \(15^{\circ} \mathrm{S}, 180^{\circ}\) d. \(30^{\circ} \mathrm{N}, 75^{\circ} \mathrm{E}\)
Problem 27
The Wadati-Benioff zone is associated with which type of plate boundary? a. Divergent b. Convergent (Continent-Continent) c. Convergent (Continent-Ocean or Ocean-Ocean) d. Transform
Problem 28
Type \(344616.16 \mathrm{~N} 1184458.19 \mathrm{~W}\) into the search bar in Google Earth and zoom out to an eye altitude of 10 miles. Quail Lake is a dammed river that is sitting directly over top of the San Andres Fault, which is a well-known transform boundary with the North American Plate on the northern side and the Pacific Plate on the southern side. This boundary is running East-West in this area and you may be able to see the boundary better by zooming out. Examine the path of the river that feeds into and flows out of Quail Lake. What direction is the North American plate moving in comparison to the Pacific Plate at this location? a. East b. West
Problem 29
Given that San Francisco is located on the North American Plate and Los Angles is located on the Pacific Plate, are these two cities getting closer together or farther apart over time? a. Closer b. Farther

Type " \(151948.78 \mathrm{~S} 751203.41 \mathrm{~W}\) " into the Google Earth Search bar. What type of tectonic plates are present? a. Ocean- Ocean b. Ocean- Continent c. Continent- Continent
Problem 34
Type " 2804 27.04N \(865526.84 \mathrm{E}\) " into the Google Earth Search bar. What type of tectonic plates are present? a. Ocean- Ocean b. Ocean- Continent c. Continent- Continent
Problem 36
Type " \(465525.66 \mathrm{~N} 152\) 01 \(25.17 \mathrm{E}\) " into the Google Earth Search bar. What type of tectonic plates are present? Make sure to zoom out to get a good view of the relevant features. a. Ocean- Ocean b. Ocean- Continent c. Continent- Continent
