ALL RIGHTS RESERVED FIRST PUBLISH OCTOBER 2024 Page 2/7 what are the geohazards associated with divergent boundaries - Ans:-- small, shallow earthquakes - effusive fission volcano at center what are the features of continental x oceanic convergence - Ans:-trenches, reverse faults/folds, volcanic mountain chains. what are the geohazards associated with continental x oceanic convergence? - Ans:-- frequent shallow earthquakes - less frequent deep earthquakes - explosive volcanoes what are the features of oceanic x oceanic convergence? - Ans:-trenches, reverse faults and folds, volcanic island arcs what are the geohazards associated with oceanic x oceanic convergence? - Ans:-- frequent shallow earthquakes - less frequent deep earthquakes - deep quakes can cause tsunamis - explosive volcanoes ©GRACEAMELIA 2024/2025 ACADEMIC YEAR. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED FIRST PUBLISH OCTOBER 2024 Page 3/7 what are the features of continental x continental convergence - Ans:-high mountain ranges, reverse faults/folds what are the geohazards associated with continental x continental convergence? - Ans:-- infrequent shallow earthquakes which may cause landslides - little to no volcanic activity what are the features of transform boundaries? - Ans:-faults, displaced mountain chains and rocks what are the geohazards associated with transform boundaries? - Ans:-frequent dangerous shallow earthquakes what causes deep focus earthquakes? - Ans:-friction due to subduction between the descending plate and the overriding plate/mantle what causes shallow focus earthquakes? - Ans:-movement along fault lines or displacement of rock as magma rises and falls. what causes earthquakes? - Ans:-when stress along an edge overcomes friction causing rock to suddenly break and rapid slip to occur along a fault which releases seismic waves. what are the hazards associated with earthquakes? - Ans:
