What is being formed when an oceanic plate subducts to a continental plate?

• mountain range

• plateau

• trench

• volcanic arc

These types of plates are also called destructive boundaries because the plate materials are subducted

• convergent boundaries

• divergent boundaries

These satellites are used to send precise, continuous signals to ships and planes

• communication satellites

• navigation satellites

• scientific satellites

• weather satellites

These are plate boundaries that are usually found at right angles to the mid-ocean ridges.

• convergent boundaries

• divergent boundaries

• transform boundaries

What theory explains the formation of Earth's crust and its movement?

• continental drift theory

• magnetic polarity

• plate tectonic theory

• seafloor spreading theory

Which evidence supports the continental drift theory?

• ocean currents

• rocks and fossils

• location of earthquakes

• magnetic north and south poles

By which of the following processes does the ocean floor plunge back into Earth's interior?
