• sergent boundary

Multiple Choice

What are the two types of crust

• continental and oceanic
• ocean and upper
• lower and upper
• pizza and subway

Multiple Choice

At which type of plate boundary does seafloor spreading occur?

• Tranform
• Convergent
• Divergent
• Subductive Zone

Multiple Choice

What are the two types of crust?

• Convergent and Divergent

• Lithosphere and Asthenosphere

• Continental and Oceanic

• Trench and Island Arc

Multiple Choice

What happens at the boundary where a continental plate and an oceanic plate collide?

• The two plates are moving

• Mountains develop on edge of the oceanic plate

• The continental plate slips under the oceanic plate

• The oceanic plate is forced down under the continental plate

Multiple Choice

Why does the oceanic crust sink beneath the continental crust at a subduction boundary?

• The oceanic crust is hotter

• The oceanic crust has a greater density

• The oceanic crust has a lighter density

• The oceanic crust has more magnetic composition

Multiple Select

What is/are formed when two oceanic plates collide? (Multiple answer)

• Trench

• Tsunami

• Volcanic Island Arc

• Mountain Ranges

Multiple Choice

What will happen to the leading edge of the subducted denser plate?

• It will later reach the mantle and evaporate

• Volcanic arc will form

• It will generate a tsunami

Multiple Choice

Volcanoes and Earthquakes typically occur _______________.
