Question

Consider the list of terms given below:
(i) Seismic Zone
(ii) Fault Zone

(iii) Mantle

(iv) Inner Core
The boundaries of the Earth's plates are known as:

• A. (i) and (ii)
• B. (i) and (iii)
• C. (iii) and (iv)
• D. (ii), (iii) and (iv)

Answer 1

The correct option is A (i) and (ii)

Seismic zone is the earthquake prone area, where the boundaries of Earth plates are situated. Seismic zones are located along the fault zones.

Within the Earth's crust, fault zone is the boundaries between the plates, such as subduction zones or transform faults.

The mantle is a layer between the crust and the outer core.

The inner core is the very center of the Earth.
