1. Describe the bathymetry of the ocean seafloor and how the features relate to plate tectonics. Bathymetry is the depth of water relative to sea level. Bathymetry measurements can show that the sea floor varies and is ever changing. They can show active and extinct volcanoes, mountain ranges, and canyons. Additionally, they can show deep sea trenches and subduction zones. Plate tectonics theory stated that the outermost layer of the earth was divided into lithospheric plates. The interaction of

prevents the subducting oceanic plate from sliding smoothly. As it descends, it drags against the overlying plate. This results in frequent shallow focus earthquakes Lascar Volcano is formed as a result of partial melting of the magma due to water reducing the boiling point of the mantle. Andesitic magma is formed and a land volcano is formed. The Andes are Fold Mountains and are formed when the Nazca plate is subducted under the South American plate. The South American plate is less dense so sits
