Question

Plate boundaries along the islands of Southeast Asia include subduction zones, where denser oceanic plates subduct under less dense continental plates. Analyze the relationship between plate boundaries and physical landforms in Southeast Asia at the regional and national scales. You can infer all of the following except:____.

A. The islands of Indonesia are arcs of islands parallel to the subduction boundary between the Eurasian and Australian plates.
B. The Philippines, which run north-south, are parallel to the subduction boundary between the Philippine and Eurasian plates.
C. Where subduction zones occur, a trench, or areas of extremely low elevation, commonly forms along the plate boundary.
D. The islands of the Philippines run parallel to the subduction boundary between the Australian and Eurasian plates.

Answer 1

D. The island of the Philippines run parallel to the subduction boundary between Australian and Eurasian plates.

Step-by-step explanation:

The island of Philippines is surrounded by subduction boundary zones. The plates of the region moves towards the north west at an average of 6 to 8 cm every year. The subduction boundary is between Philippines and Eurasian plates not between Australian plates.
