Plate Boundaries

Plate Boundaries

LT 7, 8, 9

Learning Objective

We will identify the types of plate boundaries as convergent, divergent, and transform boundaries and describe the movement of the plates.

I will analyze images to explain the type of boundary shown and the motion of the plates.

Multiple Choice

The image shows a subduction zone. What types of plates are involved in this boundary?

• oceanic-oceanic

• continental-continental

• oceanic-continental

Multiple Choice

What kind of plate boundary is shown here?

• divergent

• convergent: subduction

• transform

• convergent: collision

Multiple Choice

Which description best describes the movement of the boundary shown in the image?

• sliding

• colliding

• subducting

• dividing

Multiple Choice

What type of boundary is show in the image?

• convergent

• divergent

• subduction zone

• transform

Multiple Choice

Describe the motion of the boundary shown in the image.

• Transform boundaries have a sliding motion.

• Transform boundaries have a colliding motion

• Convergent boundaries have a sliding motion

• divergent boundaries have a sliding motion.

Multiple Choice

What type of boundary and plate movement is occurring at point X?

• convergent boundary and the plates are colliding

• divergent boundary and the plates are colliding

• divergent boundary and the plates are separating

• Transform boundary and the plates are sliding

Multiple Choice

What type of plate boundary is shown at point Y? What is the motion of the plates as they move?

• subduction zone; tthe more dense oceanic plate will sink

• convergent boundary; the less dense oceanic plate will sink

• divergent boundary; the plates move away from each other

• transform boundary; the plates slide past each other

Multiple Choice

Which plate boundary is most responsible for the world experiencing earthquakes?

• convergent boundary

• divergent boundary

• transform boundary

• subduction zone
