Sub : Earth Science

Please answer these questions according to the figure, please.

1-The Continental Margin depicted on the right side of this images is _________________.
A-active B-passive
2-The continental margin on the left side of the topographic profile would be classified as a(n) __________ continental margin.
A-active B-passive
3-Referring to the topographic profile above, what description below best describes the abyssal plain.
A-Long linear topography features on the ocean floor associated with volcanic activity and shallow focus earthquakes.
B-The flattest, place on the planet. Covers 50% of the earth's surface, made up of basaltic oceanic crust with a relatively thin layer of mostly pelagic sediment.
C-Long, deep topographic feature located on the ocean floor near continental margins, associates with shallow, intermediate and deep focus earthquakes.
4-The mid-oceanic ridge show on the topographic profile above represents a(n)__________ lithospheric plate boundary.
A-transform fault B-passive C-convergent D-divergent

5-The oceanic trench in the above topographic profile represents a(n)__________ lithospheric plate boundary.
A-divergent B-passive C-transform fault D-convergent

6-Does the presence of the ocean floor topogaphic features described above support the concept of sea floor spreading, and the plate tectonics theory?
Explain briefly

7-Identify two other lines of scientific evidence for the Plate Tectonics Theory, (evidence beyond seafloor topographic features.)
