Name the area between the two diverging plates in this picture.

• transform boundary

• ocean trench

• rift valley

• subduction zone

Identify natural land feature that are formed at a convergent boundary.

• Appalachian Mountains

• Africa’s Rift Valley

• San Madrid Fault

• Florida Keys

Philippines is a volcanic island chain. Describes the location of the Philippines.

• subduction zone

• convergent boundary

• normal fault

• hot spot

Plate boundaries behave in different ways, depending on the location and their motion. Identify the possible outcomes for a divergent boundary.

• rift valley and mid-ocean ridge

• deep ocean trenches and earthquakes

• mountain building and subduction

• volcanoes and seamounts

The interactions at plate boundaries cause huge changes on both the land and the ocean floor. What are the mountains results from the type of plate boundary?

• divergent

• convergent

• transform

• strike-slip fault

What events can produce an earthquake?

• the force of tsunamis in the oceans

• a sudden release of energy from the mantle

• movement of tectonic plates along a fault

• the violent shaking of sections of the lithosphere

The movement of Earth’s plates causes changes in the Earth’s crust.The form of the mountain range, what type of plate boundary would most likely occur?

• convergent boundary with subduction

• convergent boundary without subduction

• divergent boundary

• transform boundary

What is the most responsible for the recycling of crust when two plates meet?

• magma rising up from the mantle at a divergent boundary

• two tectonic plates sliding past one another at a transform boundary

• subduction of one oceanic plate under another at a convergent boundary

• formation of new crust when two continental plates at a convergent boundary

What is the correct definition of a tectonic plate boundary?

• At a divergent boundary, plates separate.

• At a transform boundary, plates move apart.

• At a convergent boundary, plates slide past each other.

• At a divergent boundary, one plate sinks under another plate.

The Himalaya Mountains formed when the Indian tectonic plate collided with the Eurasian plate. Describes this process?

• ridge push

• divergent boundary

• transform boundary

• convergent boundary
