1) What is the type of plate boundary or other setting for Site A?
A)Convergent
B)Divergent
C)Transform
D)Hot Spot
Site D: A continental magmatic arc,
where volcanoes are on top of a
mountain belt nearthe edge ofthe
continent. The volcanoes erupt light-
colored and gray volcanic rocks.
Older intrusive rocks, some with
coarse crystals, are also exposed.
[Samples 5,6, and 7]
Site A: A line of volcanic
islands and submarine
mountains. Broadvolcanoes on
the islands are foming dark
volcanic rocks. [Sample 1].
Site E: An island arc,
Site B: Circular
volcanic depressions
(calderas) on land,
which are filled with
light-colored volcanic
ash and light-colored
volcanic rocks.
which is a chain of
volcanic islands
adjacent to an ocearic
trench. The volcanoes
erupt gray volcanic
ash andlava flows.
There are also some
[Samples 2 and 3]
intrusive rocks.
[Samples 8 and 9]
Site C: A mid-oceanridge that zigzags across the ocean floor. The rock sample
is dark colored andis from a lumpy lava flow on the seafloor. [Sample 4]
