Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
Active margins are generally steep, especially in comparison to passive margins. Information can be
found in the section Continental Margins May Be Active or Passive



Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
Active margin tends to have a narrow shelf. There is volcanic activity and varied topography because
tectonic formation is much more influential to active margins than sedimentation. Information can be
found in the section Continental Margins May Be Active or Passive.
