Question

The diagram shows a top down view of a boundary between two tectonic plates that will form mountains.

The star and triangle mark two points on these plates at a particular time.

Identify where the star and triangle will be in the future as these two plates continue to move.

Answer 1

To determine the future positions of the star and triangle based on the movement of tectonic plates that form mountains, we need to consider how tectonic plates interact, especially at convergent boundaries.

If the star and triangle are points on two plates moving toward each other, they will likely move closer together over time, leading to the formation of mountains.

Without the specific visual diagram referenced in your question, it is difficult to provide an exact answer. However, if the options represent locations they may move toward based on a typical convergent plate boundary scenario, you would select the location that indicates movement toward each other.

In summary, if you know the direction the plates are moving and what locations A, B, C, D, and number 1, 2, 4 refer to, you could deduce where the star and triangle will end up. Generally, they'd be at points that are closer together than before, ideally at locations where the mountain-building process is occurring.

Please check the diagram for the exact positions or the movement directions to select the right answer among the options provided.

Answer 3

To answer your question about the future positions of the star and triangle as tectonic plates continue to move toward each other (which typically happens at convergent boundaries), I would need to know the relative positions of options A, B, C, D, and the numbers 1, 2, and 4 in relation to the current positions of the star and triangle.

However, here’s a general guideline based on tectonic plate behavior:

1. If the star and triangle are on different plates that are converging (moving toward one another), they will shift closer to the boundary where the mountains are being formed.
2. The future positions will likely be closer to each other compared to their current positions if they are moving toward each other.

Possible Outcomes:

• If you see that points A and 4, B and 4, C and 1, or D and 2 are located closer together than their current positions, then those options could be correct.
• You would choose based on which of the provided options shows this movement toward each other.

Without the visual context, you would need to analyze the diagram to see which of the answer choices (B and 4, C and 1, A and 4, D and 2) shows points closer together indicative of movement in a converging scenario.

If you can provide details about the positions of the star and triangle relative to options A, B, C, D, and numbers 1, 2, and 4, I can help pinpoint the correct answer.
