Summative Test 1 (Q1 Module 1)

1. The correct sequence of events to locate an earthquake epicenter is: i) Determine the difference in arrival time of S and P waves from stations iii) Obtain data from three stations i) Determine the distance of the epicenter from each station 2. Volcanic arcs are expected to be found parallel to trenches at convergent plate boundaries. 3. At a convergent plate boundary, volcanic eruptions are most likely due to subduction. 4. Features that could result from this plate boundary are volcanic arcs, mountain ranges, and trenches. 5. The ages of volcanoes in a hot spot progression get older the farther they are from the hot spot's location under
