Where do most earthquakes occur?

• Along plate boundaries

• In the oceans

• On ridges

• Along the Moho discontinuity

Transform boundaries occur when

• Two plates slide by each other without formation or loss of crust

• Two plates come together and transform each other

• One plate slides under another plate

• Ridges are formed

A geologic feature that was produced by divergent boundaries is?

The only type of crust that will subduct if two plates converge is...

• Oceanic

• Continental

How do plates move at convergent boundaries?

• Collide together
• Separate apart
• Slide past each other
• All of the above

Which is the current theory of Earth's geologic activities such as earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, and tsunamis?
