• subduction

Earthquakes and volcanoes are most likely found in which locations? 

• at plate boundaries
• in oceans
• in the middle of continents
• in the middle of plates

Transform boundaries are most likely to produce what phenomenon?

• underwater mountain ranges
• earthquakes

When an oceanic plate and a continental plate collide, which one will subduct? 

• oceanic
• continental
• neither
• both

Two tectonic plates collide at a ___ plate boundary.

• convergent
• divergent
• transform
• transformer

What is Pangaea?

• the name of a German scientist

• mid-ocean ridge
• rift valley
• trench
• volcanic island arc
