    This document contains a unit test on plate tectonics with multiple choice and enumeration questions. Some key points: - Questions 1 and 2 ask about using seismic wave arrival times to determine the location of an earthquake epicenter. - Questions 3-10 ask about various geologic features associated with different plate boundary types like trenches forming at convergent boundaries and rift valleys at divergent boundaries. - Questions 11-13 ask students to identify geologic features that form at convergent plate boundaries like mountain ranges, volcanic arcs, and trenches. - Questions 14 specifies earthquakes form at transform fault boundaries. - Questions 15-20 ask about features that form due to divergent plate boundaries like
