Look at the diagram. Which of these gives the best account of how
the islands were formed?
In this performance Task, you will answer five questions.
A Magma rises over the hot spot and forms an island. The
plate moves, and another island forms.
O
B. There are many hot spots along the plate boundaries.
Each one forms a single island.
O
Most of the volcanic activity on Earth occurs at plate
boundaries in the Ring of Fire. The Hawai'ian archipelago is
located in the middle of the Pacific Plate, about 2000 miles
(3220 km) from the nearest plate boundary. The Pacific Plate
is moving northwest. Hawai'i has eight major islands and a
number of smaller landforms. The most recent volcanic
eruption of Kilauea on the Island of Hawai'i began in 1983.
On May 3, 2018, the Kilauea eruption became even more
dramatic following a large earthquake. The most recent
activity forced the evacuation of residents and livestock in the
area
C. The plate boundaries collide and form many volcanoes
along the plate boundaries.
O
D. As magma heats up in the mantle, it flows along the
lithosphere and forms many islands.

(me out over the last several centuries, scientists have made the following broad observations while investigating several branches of the life sciences: -the fossil record shows that different types of organisms have existed at different times in earth's history. -many organisms have similar body structures that seem to be adapted to different ways of living in their environment. -organisms of different species often share similarities in stages of embryonic development. -many species share genetic similarities, and almost all organisms use the same basic building blocks to construct proteins. -often, the extent of two species' similarities can be predicted from their geographic closeness to each other. -a great deal of change has been observed among species that have experienced strong selective pressures through many generations. scientists have carefully considered and rigorously tested the observations listed above. when scientists offer a of these observations, they are making 1.) testable explanation, deductive explanation 2.) scientific interference, scientific law
