The movement of tectonic plates in two locations is described below: location a: tectonic plates push together location b: tectonic plates slide past each other which statement is most likely true? a) earthquakes may occur in both locations. b) volcanic eruptions may occur in both locations. c) earthquakes may occur in location a but not in location b. d) volcanic eruptions may occur in location b but not in location a.

Option (A)

Explanation:

The location A is a convergent plate boundary where two plates move towards each other, and location B is a transform plate boundary, where two plates slide past each other.

Both the locations are responsible for the generation of earthquakes. Convergent plate boundaries leads to deep-focus earthquakes, and transform plate boundaries leads to shallow-focus destructive earthquakes.

Volcanic eruptions occurs in the convergent and divergent plate boundaries, and are not associated with the transform plate boundaries.

Thus, the statement which is most likely true is option (A), i.e. in both the locations, earthquakes may occur.

its temperature is increasing. this causes molecular vibrations to increase.
