Plate Tectonics

Front

Due to the nature of what is occurring there, a divergent boundary is also called

Back

A constructive margin

Front

At a transform boundary, what happens to the lithosphere?

Back

Lithosphere is neither destroyed nor produced.

Front

Which of the following does NOT occur at a subduction zone? Oceanic crust is pushed down into the mantle, One oceanic plate moves beneath another oceanic plate, The leading edges of both plates are bent upwards to form mountains, A continental plate moves over an oceanic plate

Back

The leading edges of both plates are bent upwards to form mountains
