Question

The inhabitants of Tralfamadore are concerned about their future well-being and would like to monitor certain areas more closely.  Which area do you suggest they focus their limited resources to monitor for potential future disasters? 

 

A.Location 2 as a Magnitude 12.4 earthquake has occurred here and will very likely occur again soon. 

B.Location “v” as the direction of plate movement suggests that the plate could continue moving well into the future.

C.Location “v” as the direction of plate movement suggests that the plate could continue moving well into the future.

D. Location ‘’Z’’ as this is potentially the location of a ‘’supervolcano’’ similar to the area near Yellowstone National Park. 

E. None of the localities on the Tralfamadore map should be monitored as they present no future danger

U Feature reference number (For assignment Questions) Volcano reference letter (For assignment Questions) MAP INSTRUCTIONS PART I Sketch the location of the following plate boundaries that can be identified on the basis of the distribution of earthquakes: a) Show any trenches that you think might be present as continuous RED lines. (5 points) b) Show any oceanic ridges that you think might be present as continuous BLACK lines. (5 points) c) Show the location of any transform faults that you think might be present as continuous GREEN lines. (5 points) Note: Be very precise in the placement of your lines for these tectonic boundaries. Plate Tectonic movement direction reference letter (For assignment Questions) PART II Based on the pattern of depth of earthquakes: a) Identify where subduction is taking place on the map at the steepest angle from the horizontal (label this location with an arrow and with the letter "A"). (2 points) Identify where subduction is taking place on the map at the lowest angle from the horizontal (label this location with an arrow and with the letter "B"). (2 points) Can you recognize any location where there may be a "seismic gap"? If you think that there is one label this location with an arrow and with the letter "C".
