Scientific dating of the volcanic structures in the Emperor-Hawaiian Chain indicate that:
A) The volcanoes get older away from Hawaii
B) The volcanoes get younger away from Hawaii
C) The volcanoes are youngest at the "bend" in the chain and get older in both directions.
What was the general direction of plate motion during the formation of the Emperor seamounts?
A) Northerly
B) Southerly
C) Southeastwardly
D) Northwesterly
Same as above question, except for the Hawaiian Chain?
-same answer choices as above-
Which statement is true?
A) The floor of the Sea of Japan is being sub-ducted eastward under Japan
B) The floor of the Pacific basic is being sub-ducted westward under Japan
The absence of deep-focus earthquakes along the mid-oceanic ridges and transform faults support the theory of plate tectonics:
