Tectonic Plates Summative Assessment

Look at the drawing shown. What likely happens when two continental plates collide?

• An ocean trench forms.

• Folded mountains form.

• Sea-floor spreading occurs

Which of the following answers lists events that result from the motion of Tectonic Plates.

• hurricanes and tropical depressions

• earthquakes and mountain building

• high tides and low tides

Why do volcanoes FORM where a plate carrying Oceanic Crust and a plate carrying Continental Crust MEET?

• The continental crust gets pushed up and folded as the plates collide.

• The continental crust breaks as it slides past the oceanic crust.

• The oceanic crust moves beneath the continental crust, melts, and becomes magma.

Look at the picture.  Which event is Most Likely to occur at the location shown based on the movement of the plates?

• Volcanic eruption
• mountain building
• earthquake
• new crust formation

Which of the following land features is caused by the movement of tectonic plates?

• river
• glacier
• sinkhole
• mountain
