Plate Boundaries

The plates move using three types of movements: convergent, divergent and transform.

• True

• False

The divergent movement happens when...

• ...plates move apart.

• ...plates move towards each other.

• ...2 plates move sideways with respect to each other.

Tectonic plates float on top of the ________

• Crust

• Mantle

• Inner Core

• Outer Core

In which type of boundary do the plates move away from each other?

• convergent
• normal
• divergent
• transform

What is the area where two tectonic plates meet called?

• collision
• mid-ocean ridge
• a boundry
• a rift zone

Divergent Plate movement can create

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

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.
