SC.D.1.4.2 The student explains how the movements of tectonic plates produce specific geological features Day 1 Earthquakes occur in many regions of the world. Why are there no major earthquakes in Florida? A. Earthquakes cannot occur on a peninsula B. Florida is over a hot spot where no earthquakes occur C. Earthquakes cannot occur in limestone sedimentary rock D. There are no tectonic plate boundaries located near Florida Day 2 • Features found at divergent boundaries include A. Ocean ridges B. Deep-sea trenches C. Crumpled mountains D. Island arc volcanoes Day 3 • According to the plate tectonic theory, when oceanic plates collide with continental plates, the denser oceanic plate is forced under the lighter continental plate. Which geologic feature is a result of this type of collision? A. Hot spot B. Abyssal plain C. Midocean ridge D. Composite volcano Day 4 • Tsunamis are large waves that travel through the ocean at great speeds and can cause severe damage as they rise and crash into shorelines. How are tsunamis formed? Answer • Tsunamis are formed by tectonic events such as earthquakes or volcanic eruptions. When these events displace large amounts of water, huge waves are produced and move from the center of the event.
