True or False
Homework Equations
The Attempt at a Solution
I am being thrown off by this rather simple problem.
I understand that at the border of tectonic plates, a lot is happening and I would expect there to be huge volumes of igneous rock formed through volcano activity. However, in the middle of tectonic plates?
I did a google search and found that there are some earthquakes that occur in the middle of tectonic plates, so I am leaning towards answering 'true.'
Anyone have any insight here?
