Question 1
0.5 / 0.5 pts
Because the vast majority of spreading centers produce volcanism high in the mountains where no one lives.
Because the vast majority of spreading centers produce volcanism on small islands where no one lives.
Because volcanism at spreading centers is insignificant by volume compared to other types of plate boundaries.
Because the vast majority of spreading centers produce volcanism under the sea.

response. The attempt with the highest score will automatically be recorded.
You may look at your notes and textbook while doing the assignment. Or, to test your knowledge in
preparation for the exam, you may want to take the first attempt without the aid of your notes or
textbook. Tips
For fill in the blank questions please be sure to spell words correctly as you will not receive credit if
words are unrecognized or misspelled
. Do NOT capitalize words or use commas
for fill in the blank
questions that require a numeric answer.
Why do we care less (and know less) about the hazards associated with volcanism at
spreading centers than we do about volcanism at other types of plate boundaries?
The following is a region or place on Earth where high population density and abundant
active volcanism coincide.

Question 3
0.5 / 0.5 pts
The asthenosphere undergoes decompression without heating to produce melt.
The asthenosphere undergoes heating at the plate boundary.
The asthenosphere is saturated with water from the sea floor, causing melting.
Question 4
0.5 / 0.5 pts
Water interacts with he asthenosphere, causing melting.
The asthenosphere undergoes decompression without heating to produce melt.
The asthenosphere undergoes heating at the plate boundary.
Question 5
0.5 / 0.5 pts
The plate remains largely fixed in space, but the hotspot below moves to create the chain.
The asthenosphere melts along a line because it is hydrated by the islands.
The hotspot remains largely fixed in space, but the plate moves above it to create the chain.
The asthenosphere melts along a line because it depressurizes in that geometry.
Question 6
3 / 3 pts
low viscosity
basalt
Magmas at mid-ocean ridges are produced by partial melting of the asthenosphere. Why
does melting occur at mid-ocean ridges? Melting of the asthenosphere and production of magma at subduction zones is caused by
which of the following processes? Why do island chains form near hotspots?
Match the characteristic to the type of magma.
