Chapter 5 TEST Plate Tectonics

This occurs when a continental plate collides with an oceanic plate.

• subduction occurs at convergent boundaries

• subduction occurs at divergent boundariesThis is a wrong answer

• mountains form

• nothing major occurs

Subduction occurs where the oceanic crust bends down towards the mantle at __________________________

• mid-ocean ridges

• deep-ocean trenches

• fault lines

Select the correct order of the layers of Earth's surface, starting from the surface.

• inner core, outer core, mantle, crust

• mantle, crust, inner core, outer core

• crust, mantle, inner core, outer core

• crust, mantle, outer core, inner core

Name the boundary formed where two plates slip past each other, moving in opposite directions.

• convergent boundary

• reverse boundary

• divergent boundary

• transform boundary

This part of Earth's interior is a dense ball of solid metal (iron and nickel)

• crust

• mantle

• inner core

• outer core

During this process, new crust is added to the ocean floor, along both sides of a mid-ocean ridge.

• sea-floor spreading

• continental drift

• Pangaea

• sea expansion
