The first P-wave of an earthquake took 11 minutes to travel to a seismic station from the epicenter of the earthquake. What is the seismic station's distance to the epicenter of the earthquake and how long did it take for the first S-wave to travel that distance?

A strong earthquake that occurs on the ocean floor could result in the formation of

The epicenter of an earthquake was located 1800 kilometers from a seismic recording station. If the S -wave arrived at the seismic station at 10:06:40 a.m., at what time did the P-wave arrive at the same seismic station?

Which landmass is moving northward with Australia as part of the same tectonic plate'?

The diagram below represents three seismograms showing the same earthquake as it was recorded at three different seismic stations, A, B, and C. Which statement correctly describes the distance between the earthquake epicenter and these seismic stations?

Base your answer to the following question on the earthquake seismogram below. How many additional seismic stations must report seismogram information in order to locate this earthquake?

Base your answer to the following question on the diagram and map below. The diagram shows three seismograms of the same earthquake recorded at three different seismic stations, X, Y, and Z. The distances from each seismic station to the earthquake epicenter have been drawn on the map. A coordinate system has been placed on the map to describe locations. The map scale has not been included. On the map, which location is closest to the epicenter of the earthquake?

The movement of tectonic plates is inferred by many scientists to be driven by

Base your answer to the following question on the diagram below, which represents seismic stations A, B, and C. The distance from each station to an earthquake’s epicenter is plotted. The epicenter is closest to point

The first P-wave of an earthquake travels 5600 kilometers from the epicenter and arrives at a seismic station at 10:05 a.m. At what time did this earthquake occur?

Which type of tectonic plate boundary is found between the South American Plate and the Scotia Plate?

The aerial photograph below shows two streams that have been displaced by tectonic movement along the San Andreas fault. The arrows show the relative direction of movement along the fault. This movement occurred along which type of plate boundary?

The cross section below represents a lithospheric plate boundary. In which diagram do the arrows show the relative directions of plate movement at this type of plate boundary?

The Hawaiian Islands were formed as a result of

Base your answer to the following question on the diagram of Earth shown below. Letters B, C, and D represent layers of Earth. Letter Q represents a location on Earth's surface. Which letter best represents Earth's mantle?

Which mantle hot spot is correctly matched to its overlying tectonic plate?

Which world map shows the locations where most earthquakes and volcanoes occur on Earth? (Key in image)

Which part of Earth's interior is inferred to have convection currents that cause tectonic plates to move?

Base your answer to the following question on the diagram below, which shows models of two types of earthquake waves. Model A best represents the motion of earthquake waves called

The map below shows some tectonic plate boundaries near South America and Africa. Letters A,B,C, and D represent locations on Earth's surface. Which location most likely has the youngest bedrock?

The cross section below represents a pattern of magnetic field reversals preserved in the igneous bedrock of the oceanic crust east of the Mid-Atlantic ridge. Which cross section best represents the magnetic field pattern west of the Mid-Atlantic ridge?

The large coal fields found in Pennsylvania provide evidence that the climate of the northeastern United States was much warmer during the Carboniferous Period. This change in climate over time is best explained by the
