This document discusses plate tectonics and related geological features. Plate A is an oceanic plate that is subducting under the thicker continental Plate B. As Plate A moves downward, it forms magma from the heat and pressure. This magma can rise to the surface and cause volcanic activity. Mountains are pushed up on top of Plate B. As the plates continue grinding against each other, earthquakes can occur due to the built-up pressure.

Q15. What type of plate is Plate A? What about Plate B? Why do you say so?

Q16. Describe what happens to Plate A as it collides with Plate B? Why?

Q17. What do you think may happen to the leading edge of Plate A as it continues to move downward?
Why?

Q18. What do you call this molten material?

Q19. What is formed on top of Plate B?

Q20. As the plates continue to grind against each other, what other geologic event could take place? 1

Geologic feature can be created on Earth's surface when things in its core become active of movement.
In this article, we will be mentioned some of the parts of Earth's core and it's surface geologic features as
follows:

Continental Plate

Oceanic Plate

Magma

Mountain

Earthquake

Answer to Question 15:

Plate A is the Oceanic Plate while the plate B is the Continental Plate. It is because plate A or the oceanic
plate is thinner than plate B which is continental plate.
How to describe of these two plates? Read on brainly.ph/question/605250.

Answer to Question 16:

Plate A sub duct, because it is more dense now than Plate B.

Answer to Question 17:

It can form Magma, because when plate A continue to move downward the water will cause the magma
to become less dense hence allowing to rise and reach the crust and causing volcanic activities.

Is Magma solid of liquid? Read the answer at brainly.ph/question/1310801.

Answer to Question 18:

Magma is called for the molten material.

Answer to Question 19:

Mountain is build up on top of Plate B.

Answer to Question 20:

Occurrence of earthquake is the geologic feature as the plates continue to grind against each other.
However, there are classification of earthquake such as:

depth

intensity

magnitude
