Base your answer on the passage below and on your knowledge of Earth science. Island ArcsIsland arcs are long, curved chains of oceanic islands associated with seismic activity and mountain-building processes at certain plate boundaries. They occur where oceanic tectonic plates collide. Along one side of these island arcs, there is usually a long, narrow deep-sea trench. At island arcs, the denser plate is subducted and is forced into the partially molten mantle under the less dense plate. The islands are composed of the extrusive igneous rocks basalt and andesite. The basalt originates most likely from the plastic mantle. The andesite originates most likely from the melting of parts of the descending plate and sediments that had accumulated on its surface. Which list identifies minerals present in andesite from the greatest percentage by volume to the least percentage by volume?

Select the correct text in the passage. the moving continents affect all subsystems on earth. which sentence identifies a potentially negative consequence of shifting continents? the supercontinent pangaea began to break up about 175 million years ago. [during this process, more coastline was exposed as the landmasses separated]. [the rearrangement and displacement of these huge landmasses resulted in the diversity of plants and animals we see on earth today]. [the movement of the plates sometimes leads to earthquakes and tsunamis]. however, over the long course of earth's history, their effects are usually minimal. in oceans, the plate movements usually lead to seafloor spreading. [seafloor spreading often results in the formation of underwater ranges of mountains].
