Chapter 5, Lesson 2

When an oceanic plate slides under a continental plate it is called

• convection

• submerging

• subduction

• compression

The theory that Earth's surface is broken into pieces or plates that slide over the magma in the mantle.

• subduction

• plate tectonics

• magma

• seafloor spreading

Divergent boundaries cause

• earthquakes

• mountains

• mid-ocean ridges

• hurricanes

Convergent boundaries cause

• mid-ocean ridges

• mountains

• seafloor spreading

• plains

Transform boundaries cause

• earthquakes

• mid-ocean ridges

• mountains

• plains

True or False - Continental drift, new landforms, and earthquakes all happen as a result of plates moving.

• True

• False

What are the 3 types of plate movement?

• convergent, divergent, transform

• Convection, divided, crossing

• Drifting, earthquake, mountain

Hot, liquid rock found below Earth's surface is

• magma

• lithosphere

• seafloor spreading

• lava

Locations where plates collide

• Divergent boundary

• Convergent boundary

• Transform boundary

Locations where plates slide past each other.

• Convergent boundary

• Divergent boundary

• Transform boundary
