Chapter 14, Lesson 1 REVIEW

Boundary where plates slide past each other.

• transform
• shear
• convergent
• divergent

Force that pushes rocks together.

• compression
• convergent
• divergent
• tension

Boundary where plates come together.

• convergent
• compression
• divergent
• transform

Force that pulls rocks apart.

• tension
• shear
• divergent
• convergent

Boundary where plates move away from each other.

• divergent
• transform
• tension
• shear

Side-by-side dragging force. 

• shear
• transform
• tension
• convergent

An area where one plate slides under another is called a:

• subduction zone
• divergent zone
• compression zone
• mid-ocean ridge

Which observation is NOT evidence of the plate tectonics theory?

• heat in Earth's mantle
• similar mountains on different continents
• Mesosaurus fossils on two far-apart continents.
• coastlines of certain continents seem to 'fit' together like a puzzle.

What forms along divergent plate boundaries?

• mid-ocean ridges and rifts
• subduction zones and trenches
• folded mountains and volcanoes
• bends and twists in railroads and other man-made land features. 

Which statement correctly describes a force acting at a plate boundary?

• shear is the main force acting along a transform boudary
• tension is the main force acting along a convergent boundary
• compression is the main force acting along a divergent boundary
• convection is the main force acting along a transform
