Plate Tectonics Review

Pangaea was an ancient supercontinent made up of...

• America, Greenland, and Europe.
• Antarctica, India, and America.
• all of Earth’s continents.
• South Africa, India, Australia, and South America.

Where are most divergent boundaries located?

• Along the middle of most ocean floors
• Along the margins of most continents
• Across the middle of many continents
• All the above options are correct

The Himalayan mountains have some of the highest peaks like Mt. Everest, on which type of convergent boundary are they located?

• Oceanic/Continental
• Oceanic/Oceanic
• Continental/Continental
• None of the above
