Answer:
1. False
2. True
3. False
4. True
5. False
Explanation:
1. Plate tectonics is the theory that causes mountain formation, volcanoes, and quakes. The action of pushing against each other forms geological features.
2. The Pacific Ring of Fire is the location of most active volcanoes.
3. Mountain belts are formed BETWEEN tectonic plates NOT WITHIN. Belts are formed at where plates MEET.
4. When plates pushing against each other slip, quakes happen and that is where the epicenter is located.
5. Plates DO INTERACT and move around and push against each other causing geo events.
