11. Identify two places (using the names of the plates involved) where you would expect to see seafloor spreading or trenches being formed.
12. Identify two places (using the names of the plates involved) that might often experience earthquakes, but with no volcanic activity and no new crust being formed.
13. Los Angeles, California is located on the Pacific Plate, while San Francisco, California is located on the North American Plate. Over time, how would you expect the position of these cities to change, relative to each other? Explain.
14. The Himalayan Mountains are a range located in northern India and Pakistan, where the Indian-Australian Plate meets the Eurasian Plate. These mountains are home to some of the tallest peaks in the world, such as Mt. Everest and K-2. Based on plate tectonics, propose a process likely to be responsible for creating the Himalayan Mountains.
15. The area around the Pacific Ocean along the coasts of the Eurasian, Indian-Australian, and South American Plates is sometimes called “the Ring of Fire.”. Thinking about plate boundaries and examining the map, why do you think this is?
