Question

The movement of tectonic plates in two different locations is shown below: Two blocks labeled Location A and Location B are shown. At Location A the top layer of the block shows two horizontal arrows pointing towards each other. The portion of this block on the right is shown moving down. The block labeled B Shows two horizontal arrows pointing away from each other. A vertical gap is seen in the middle Which statement is most likely true? Subduction occurs in both locations. Seafloor spreading occurs in both locations. An earthquake may occur in Location A and subduction occurs in Location B. Subduction occurs in Location A and a volcanic eruption may occur in Location B.

Answer 1

Based on the available information, the statement that is most likely true is that "Subduction occurs in Location A and a volcanic eruption may occur in Location B."

What is Subduction?

Subduction is a geographical term that is used to describe the geological process whereby the oceanic lithosphere is reclaimed into the Earth's mantle at convergent boundaries.

During this process, the heavier plate jumps below the second plate and sinks into the mantle thereby causing the oceanic lithosphere of a tectonic plate to converge. This is shown in block A when the top layer of the block shows two horizontal arrows pointing towards each other, and the portion of this block on the right is shown moving down

On the other hand, Volcanic Eruption is a term that is used to describe the geological process whereby lava and gas are released from a volcano usually in an explosive manner. Thus, this is shown in block B where block labeled B shows two horizontal arrows pointing away from each other caused by the volcanic eruption.

Hence, in this case, it is concluded that the correct answer is option D which is that subduction occurs in Location A and a volcanic eruption may occur in Location B.
