Ocean-Ocean Transform

Continent-Ocean Convergent

Continent-Continent Divergent

Explanation:

The above all sites are possible to generate earthquake . The divergent boundary whether it is Continent-Continent or Ocean-Ocean can generate shallow earthquake although it's very weak . The transform plate boundary or strike slip plate motion also generate shallow but powerful earthquake ( example: San Andres Fault is a transform plate boundary) . Another one is convergent boundary which can generate deep and very powerful earthquake .

True or False: Members of the Wampanoag tribe helped the colonists survive.
Alexxandr [17]

Answer:

True, members of the Wampanoag tribe helped the colonists survive.

Explanation:

When the colonists first arrived in what is now Massachusets, they didn't really know what they're facing and were simply not aware of the conditions in the area and how to survive long term. This was a big problem because the reason why they moved there was because of searching for new opportunities and by not surviving this wouldn't have happened, while the government had its goal on long term settlements through which it will increase its influence in the region.

The reason why the colonists, referred to as Pilgrims, survived were the members of the native Americans, namely the Wampanoag. The Wampanoag were friendly and they explained to the colonists what they can expect climate-wise, thought them about the characteristics of the land, introduced them to local crops and how to grow them so that they can feed themselves. This led to good and friendly relations between the two groups and the colonists survived and managed to remain in the area.

If the earth is 4.6 billion years old, why is the oldest ocean floor only 180 million years old?
borishaifa [10]

the oldest ocean floor is only 180 million years old, because the oldest crust is destroyed at subduction zones.

<h3>What are subduction zones?</h3>

According to NOAA, tectonic plates are fragments of the Earth's hard outer layer that steadily travel across the surface of the globe over millions of years (opens in new tab). (This is a fundamental principle of the theory of plate tectonics, which holds that pieces of the Earth's crust slide across the lower mantle and carry continents with them.) According to the U.S. Geological Survey(opens in new tab), the Earth's crust and the top part of the mantle, a thick, heated layer under the crust, make up that outer layer, also known as the lithosphere (USGS). This lithosphere material curls downward into the heated mantle during subduction zones, when two tectonic plates collide and one slides beneath the other.
