Q1: Name one landform created at a divergent boundary.
A1: Mid-ocean ridge or rift valley (e.g., East African Rift).

Q2: Which type of plate boundary causes deep ocean trenches?
A2: Convergent boundary (subduction zone).

Q3: Why do most earthquakes occur along plate boundaries?
A3: Because stress builds up as plates move past or collide with each other, then releases as seismic waves.

Based on standard interactive workbook structures, C1 typically assesses one of the following:

This report assumes Option A: Plate Tectonics (most common for C1 in physical geography units). interactive geography workbook answer c1

The final question of C1 is open-ended: “After completing this section, what is one geographic question you now have that cannot be answered by a static map?”

Expected Answer (Exemplar):

Teacher’s Note: There is no single “right” answer here. The rubric awards points for: Q1: Name one landform created at a divergent boundary
