Types of Plate Boundaries

What type of plate boundary features the collision between 2 plates? 

• Convergent
• Divergent
• Transform
• Continental

What is the name of the process of an ocean plate diving beneath a continent plate when the two collide? 

• collision
• earthquake
• subduction
• induction

What are some physical features found along convergent continental-oceanic plate boundaries? 

• volcanoes & deep ocean trenches
• beaches
• earthquakes
• flat marine terraces

Why do volcanoes form at convergent continental-oceanic plate boundaries? 

• scientists still aren't sure
• colliding plates form steep mountain ranges
• as the oceanic plate subducts, it is partially melted, resulting in magma that rises up through the continental crust
• because this is the Ring of Fire

What commonly occurs along convergent continental-Continental plate boundaries? 

• earthquakes
• high tides
• tsunamis
• formation of new crust

What are two common features found at convergent ocean-ocean plate boundaries? 

• volcanoes and islands
• earthquakes and deep ocean trenches
• volcanic island arcs and deep ocean trenches
• volcanic island arcs and coral reefs

What is a good example of a convergent continental-continental plate boundary? 

• Himalayan Mountain Range
• Santa Monica Mountains
• Channel Islands
• Conejo Mountain

Which of the following causes Earth's tectonic plates to move?

• Energy from the Sun
• Magnetic Pole Reversal
• Convection currents in the mantle
• Faults in Mountain Ranges

Mountains are created when....

• Two continental plates collide
• Two oceanic plates pull apart
• An Oceanic plate subducts under a Continental Plate
• Two continental plates pull apart

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

• Mountains
• Volcanoes
• Mid-Ocean Ridge
• Rift
