Answer to Question 1

ANS: T
Transform plate boundaries shear past one another. The areas have big potential for large earthquakes.
Information can be found in the section The Breakthrough: From Seafloor Spreading to Plate
Tectonics.



Answer to Question 2

ANS: T
There have been attempts made to reach the interior of the Earth, but they have been unsuccessful. The
deepest drilling attempt went down to 12.262 kilometers on the Kola Peninsula in Russia before high
temperatures and pressure squeezed the hole closed. Information can be found in the section Earth's
Interior Is Layered.
