What is one structure you would find at an active continental margin that you would not find at a passive coninental margin?
On an active continental margin, you would be likely to find an active ocean trench. This structure would generally not occur at a passive continental margin.
What is one structure that you would find at an active continental margin that you would not at a passive?
You will find active faults and, if the margin is convergent, volcanoes.
What is the erosional part of continental margin?
Erosion happens constantly everywhere, from mountains to seashores. Although I would imagine that the greatest amount of erosion would occur in water, so perhaps anywhere from a near shore enviroment down to the continental slope/abyssal plain.
What type of plate boundary causes a reverse fault?
In an ideal world this would be a margin that involves some element of compression, so you're looking at a compressional (orogenic) or subducting margin. Anywhere where the crust is thickened generally involves reverse, also known as thrust, faulting.
Would you expect the daily temperature range to be higher in a maritime climate or continental climate?
continental would have a greater daily temperature range continental would have a greater daily temperature range

An exotic terrane created by a seamount accreted to a continental margin would be composed of what?
mainly of basaltic lava flows and minor, coralline limestone

Where would active volcanoes be found if a deep ocean trench is located adjacent to a continent?
When an overriding plate is continental, a marginal trench forms where the topographic depression seems to follow the outline of the continental margin. It is here where explosive volcanoes can be found.
What is the margin of safety and why is it important in disining structures?
The margin of safety in motor vehicle design would include designing the car to under steer because that gives better control in a turn or designing the car with a lower center of gravity to be more stable on turns. The margin of safety in building structures like bridges would be making sure it could withstand the weight of the vehicles that would cross over it and making sure it could withstand wind gusts at high speeds and earthquakes. The importance is obvious, to save lives and spare personal injury.
If a deep-ocean trench is located adjacent to a continent active volcanoes would likely be found .?
When an overriding plate is continental, a marginal trench forms where the topographic depression seems to follow the outline of the continental margin. It is here where explosive volcanoes can be found.
Are tsunamis more likely in an active continental margin?
really. Since they are generated by activity, one would assume so. Massive earthquakes or slides generate them. No activity-no tsunami.
What is the voice change of 'corals build stone like structures'?
First, "stone like" should be hyphenated: "stone-like." The sentence as written is in active voice. If it were written in passive voice it would be: "Stone-like structures are built by corals."
What type of plate boundary causes a reverse fault?
In an ideal world this would be a margin that involves some element of compression, so you're looking at a compressional (orogenic) or subducting margin. Anywhere where the crust is thickened generally involves reverse, also known as thrust, faulting.
