Which US state or territory has the most volcanoes?
- correct answer Alaska
What is the name of the cinder cone volcano located in New Mexico?
- correct answer Carrizozo
How would you describe the spatial patterns of earthquakes in the US?
- correct answer Predominately low magnitude along the west coast
Globally, what was the highest magnitude recorded during this month?

Estimate the width of the Flood basalt fold using the scale bar
- correct answer 35km
Why aren't there many faults in the Great Valley (San Joaquin Valley)?
- correct answer Most tectonic activity occurs to the east and west of the valley, leaving the valley
relatively stable
Given the direction of movement of the plates on either side of the San Andreas fault, Los Angeles and
