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

• Divergent Boundary
• Convergent Boundary
• Transform Boundary
• Subduction

What is the difference between the lithosphere and asthenosphere that makes up the mantle?

• The lithosphere is ismade of dense solid meal whle the asthenosphere is made of liquid molten metal
• The lithosphere is a mixture of gasses while the asthenosphere is made of solid rock
• The lithosphere is molten rock that moves while the asthenosphere is ridid and thin
• The lithosphere is made of solid rock while the asthenosphere is more flexible hot rock that moves.

Convergent Plate Movement can create

• Rifts
• Mountains
• Ocean Ridges
• Radiation

The movement of the tectonic plates is caused by

• the rotation of the Earth.

• convection currents in the Asthenosphere

• the gravity of the iron-nickel core.

• the Moho discontinuity.

What is the source of energy that drives plate movement?

• the subducton of the sea floor

• the different densities of the oceanic and crustal plates

• convection currents in the asthenosphere

• the friction force between the plates that move past each other

Where would sea floor spreading most likely occur?

• At convergent boundaries (oceanic vs. oceanic)

• At convergent boundaries (oceanic vs. continental)

• At divergent plate boundaries (oceanic vs. oceanic)

• At transform plate boundaries

• island arc
• hot spot
• Hawaii
• geyser
