Draw a cross-section of an oceanic-oceanic convergent plate boundary. Show the directions of relative
  plate motion. Put stars for the locations of earthquakes. Put triangles with smoke out the top for the
  locations of volcanoes. Label the trench, back arc basin, and subduction complex What will be an ideal response?

Answer to Question 1

See Figure 2.19a.

Answer to Question 2

High heat flow elevates the continent and a rift valley forms, with normal faults and a central valley
called a graben. Magma is intruded into fractures. As the plates diverge, basalt erupts in the rift,
creating new ocean crust. Ultimately, as the plates continue to diverge, a new ocean basin forms.
