Poll

Which plate tectonics meme do you think is funniest?

Multiple Choice

• folded mountains

• rift valley

• arid desert

Multiple Select

Which of the following is true about earthquakes? (Select ALL that apply)

• Earthquakes are caused by pressure build up from plates moving past, towards, or away from one another.

• Earthquakes are caused by the movement of Tectonic Plates.

• When rocks break or move suddenly along faults in the Earth's crust.

Multiple Choice

Opening in Earth's Crust where magma comes near or out of the Earth's surface.

• Volcano

• Mountain

• Earthquake

Multiple Choice

What are the three plate movements boundries?

• convergent, divergent, & trenches

• divergent, transform, convergent

• divergent, geological, & transform

Multiple Choice

The theory of plate tectonics is based on hot magma rising and cool magma sinking. This cycle is called:

• convection

• hot pockets

• circle time

Multiple Choice

This is the type of boundary that occurs when tectonic plates move apart.

• convergent

• divergent

• transform

Multiple Choice

When one piece of crust gets pushed under another one, it called:

• lingering

• subduction

• leverage

Multiple Choice

The transform movement happens when...

• ...plates move towards each other.

• ...plates move apart.

• ...2 plates move sideways with respect to each other.

Multiple Choice

As plates pull apart, what happens?

• Loose rock material fills the empty space.

• New plate material fills the empty space so there is no space left.

Multiple Choice

The movement of tectonic plates is due to ____?

• convection currents in the mantle

• seafloor spreading

Multiple Choice

What is true about the layer (lower mantle) below the Earth's plates?

• It is solid rock.

• It is slightly softened rock like clay.

Multiple Choice

The interaction of two plate boundaries can cause which of the following?

• hurricanes and tornadoes

• earthquakes and volcanoes

• high winds and drought

Multiple Choice

Molten rock found BENEATH the earth's surface

• Lava

• Magma
