Plate Tectonics

A plate boundary at which two plate move parallel to each other in opposite directions

• convergent plate boundary
• divergent plate boundary
• transform plate boundary
• subduction

one tectonic plate moves under another

• convergent plate boundary
• divergent plate boundary
• transform plate boundary
• subduction

a boundary at which two plates move away from each other

• convergent plate boundary
• divergent plate boundary
• transform plate boundary
• subduction

a boundary at which two plate move toward each other

• convergent plate boundary
• divergent plate boundary
• transform plate boundary
• subduction

What feature is formed on the continental crust at an oceanic-continental convergent boundary?

• volcanoes
• mid-ocean ridge
• ocean trench
• none of these features are formed at a oceanic-continental convergent boundary

What new feature forms at a convergent plate boundary where two continental plates collide?

• mid-ocean ridge
• trench
• mountain range
• none of these features form

Wegener’s proposal of a supercontinent was supported by:

• earthquake data
• seafloor magnetism
• rock, fossil, and climate data.
• convection currents in the mantle.
