Review Quiz-Week7

When a convergent boundary occurs between two oceanic plates, what will happen to one of those plates?

• The plate will subduct beneath to the other plate.

• The plate will move away to the other plate.

• The plate will move toward to the other plate.

• The plate will slide past the other plate.

What geologic feature forms when a divergent boundary occurs beneath the oceanic lithosphere and there is rising convection current below lifts the lithosphere?

• mountain ranges

• volcano

• volcanic arc

• mid-ocean ridge

If you will visit a place in the Pacific known to be along converging plates, which of these should you not expect to see?

• active volcanoes

• mountain ranges

• rift valley

• volcanic arc

What is produced in the convergence of two continental plates?

• folded mountains

• island arcs

• volcanoes

• rift valleys

The process in which the denser plate moves under the less dense plate is called ----------.

Which of the following is not a divergent plate boundary?

• mid-ocean ridge

• Mt. Himalayas

• rift valley

• spreading of sea floor

Earth’s crust is being actively recycled. Where is new oceanic crust created?

• at convergent boundaries

• at mid-ocean ridges

• at subduction zones

• at transform boundaries

Why does the oceanic crust sink beneath the continental crust at then subduction zone?

• The oceanic crust has a greater density.

• The oceanic crust is pulled downward by Earth’s magnetic field.

• The oceanic crust is pushed from the ridge.

• The continental crust has a denser composition.

There is no geologic features formed in this plate boundary.

• convergent plate boundary

• divergent plate boundary

• transform fault boundary

• none of these
