Plate Tectonics Review

What are the Earth's plates made up of?

• Lithosphere

• Mantle

• Core

Which is the denser tectonic plate?

• Oceanic

• Continental

At a destructive boundary, tectonic plates...

• move towards each other

• move away from each other

• move alongside each other

Constructive plate boundaries...

• are where old tectonic plate is destroyed

• are where new tectonic plate is created

• are where tectonic plate is neither created nor destroyed

An example of a conservative plate boundary is...

• The Nazca-South American boundary

• The North American-Eurasian boundary

• The San Andreas Fault

• The Indian-Eurasian boundary

What major landform is created in collision zone boundaries?

• Fold mountains (e.g. Himalayas)

• Volcanoes

• Ocean trenches

At what plate boundary do ocean trenches form?

• Destructive

• Constructive

• Conservative

• Collison zone

At what plate boundary do ridges form (like the mid Atlantic ridge)?

• Constructive

• Destructive

• Conservative

• Collision zone
