Plate Tectonics

What is a transform boundary?

• Plates that move apart or diverge
• Plates that slip past each other
• Plates that come together or converge
• None of the choices

What would you be most likely to find at a transform boundary?

• Earthquakes
• Volcanoes
• Mountains
• Rift

What would you be most likely to find at a convergent boundary between two pieces of oceanic crust?

• Mountains
• Rift
• Mid-Ocean Ridge
• Island Arc

What would you be most likely to find at a convergent boundary between a continental and oceanic plate?

• Mountains
• Volcanoes
• Mid-Ocean Ridge
• Rift

Which of the following statements is false?

• Continental crust is less dense than oceanic crust
• Continental crust is younger than oceanic crust
• Continental crust is made of granite
• Continental crust is thicker than oceanic crust

Which of the following statements is false?

• Oceanic crust is made of basalt

A subduction zone is formed...

• when one tectonic plate sinks below another
• at every type of convergent plate boundary
• at every type of divergent plate boundary
• at transform boundaries
