4.1 Plate Tectonic (Independent Work/HW))

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

• Divergent Boundary
• Convergent Boundary
• Transform Boundary
• Subduction

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

Mountains form from ...

• plates sliding past one another
• collision of plates
• plates moving away from each other

During sea floor spreading, molten material rises up from the mantle...

• along the continents
• at the mid ocean ridges
• deep ocean trenches
• at north and south poles

Which of the following is where one plate slides under another plate?

• submarine zone
• divergence zone
• subduction zone
• lower zone

Most geologists think that the movement of Earth’s plates is caused by _______

• convection.

• continental drift.

• subduction.

• conduction.
