Answer to Question 1

ANS: T
The outward segments of fracture zones move in the same direction. Transform faults are where the
activity occurs. Information can be found in the section The Topography of Deep-Ocean Basins Differs
from That of the Continental Margins



Answer to Question 2

ANS: F
Hydrothermal vents can even be seen on land. These can be seen in Iceland where the mid-ocean ridge
has been lifted above the land. These are named fumaroles because the superheated water phase
changes into steam. Information can be found in the section The Topography of Deep-Ocean Basins
Differs from That of the Continental Margins.
