Plate Tectonics

A plate boundary where two plates move away from each other is called

• Divergent Boundary
• Convergent Boundary
• Transform Boundary
• Subduction

Scientists hypothesize that a super continent existed 200 million years ago.  This continent is called

• America
• Super Earth
• Pangea
• Eurasia

A Plate Boundary where two plates move toward each other is called

• Convergent Boundary
• Divergent Boundary
• Transform Boundary
• Subduction

Convergent Plate Movement can create

• Rifts
• Mountains
• Ocean Ridges
• Radiation

Divergent Plate movement can create

• Convection Currents
• Conduction
• Mountains
• Rifts and ocean ridges

When pressure builds between two tectonic plates, it can suddenly release causing a (an) ______________________

• Earthquake
• Volcano
• Convection Current
• Gravitational Pull

Created by a divergent boundary.

• Rocky Mountains
• Mariana Trench
• Mid Atlantic ridge
