apes unit 4 frq with 100% correct solutions 2024/2025describe what happens when two tectonic plates collide in a subduction zone - correct answer in a subduction zone, one plate is pushed beneath the other. a trench may be formed at the subduction zone. explain how subduction leads to volcanic activity - correct answer The plate closer to the core melts and becomes magma, which pushes towards the surface. When the magma reaches the surface, it becomes lava and releases through the crust causing a volcano. what is primary succession? - correct answer establishment of organisms that occurs on surfaces where no soil exists explain how primary succession can lead to soil formation on a newly formed volcanic landscape - correct answer organisms like pioneer species will decompose organic matter to create soil and the roots will physically weather the rock to become soil over time. Explain how a tsunami is generated along a subduction zone. - correct answer a tsunami is formed due to the occurence of an underwater earthquake. rapid water displacement leads to the formation of a tsunami. describe one negative ecological impact that tsunamis have on coastal environments. - correct answer a negative ecological impact is the drowning of terrestrial species describe what happens to the tectonic plates along a transform boundary at the moment when an earthquake occurs - correct answer a large amount of energy is released as plates suddenly and rapidly slide in opposite directions describe what happens to the tectonic plates along a transform boundary during the time between earthquakes - correct answer tectonic plates along transform faults bind/lock-up causing pressure to build overtime
