Answer to Question 1

ANS: F
There are three divisions of the continental margin: the continental shelf, continental slope, and the
continental rise. The continental rise is a layer of sediment that blends the continental margin into the
deep ocean. Information can be found in the section Continental Margins May Be Active or Passive.



Answer to Question 2

ANS: T
Trenches and island arcs are among the most geologically active formations on Earth. These are
associated with subduction zones which are very active. Information can be found in the section The
Topography of Deep-Ocean Basins Differs from That of the Continental Margins.
