Plate Tectonics

This boundary is described as moving toward one another  When the plates are both continental plates the will crumple up and form a mountains. When they are continental and oceanic plates, subduction occurs  and earthquakes and volcanoes form. 

• Convergent Boundary
• Divergent Boundary
• Transform Boundary

This boundary is described as two plates moving past eachother ALONG THE EDGES horizontally.  These boundaries will get stuck or lock against eachother causing earthquakes when they slip and release. 

• Convergent Boundary
• Divergent Boundary
• Transform Boundary

This boundary is described by two plates moving away from eachother along the edges and separating. The resulting gap allows magma to rise and create new crust, forming new lithosphere. 

• Convergent Boundary 
• Divergent Boundary  
• Transform Boundary

Which of these explains that Earth's outer layer is broken into large slowly moving pieces? 

• Plate Tectonic Theory
• Continental Drift 

New crust is created at this type of  boundary.

• Divergent
• Convergent, Subduction Zone
• Transform 

Mountains are created at this type of  boundary.

• Divergent

• Transform 

Mid Ocean Ridge Formation  is created at this type of  boundary.

The movement of fluid, caused by differences in temperature, that transfers heat from one part of the fluid to another is _____________.

• Convection current
• Seismic waves
• Sea-floor spreading
• Conduction current

What is the process by which oceanic crust sinks beneath a deep-ocean trench and back into the mantle at a convergent plate boundary?

• Subduction
• Induction
• Abduction 
• Reduction

The process by which molten material adds new oceanic crust to the ocean floor is called ___________.

• Divergent boundary
• Sea-floor spreading
• Convergent boundary
• Renovating
