• subducting

What kind of plate boundary is shown here?

• divergent
• convergent
• transform
• submergent

A subduction zone is formed...

• when one tectonic plate sinks below another

• at every type of convergent plate boundary

• between divergent tectonic plates

• at transform boundaries

Name the boundary

• convergent boundary
• divergent boundary
• transform boundary
• sergent boundary

What is the only event that can occur at ALL types of plate boundaries?

• Volcanoes

• Earthquakes

• Subduction

• Deep Trenches

Continental crust and continental crust come toward each other at a convergent plate boundary. This will likely form...

• mid-ocean ridge

• mountains

• rift valley

• volcano

What do the patterns in earthquake and volcanic activity provide?

• The earthquakes reveals the locations of convergent boundaries, while the volcanoes reveals the location of divergent boundaries.

• No pattern exists in the locations of earthquakes and volcanoes.

• The locations of the majority of earthquake and volcanic activity provide the locations of plate boundaries.

• The patterns of earthquakes match the hot spot locations at the center of each tectonic plate.

When an oceanic plate is subducted under a continental plate, a deep valley is formed in the ocean. What is this valley called?

• a trench

• a rift zone

• ocean spreading ridge

• continental crust

Where would you expect the next island in this chain to form?

• to the left of A

• between D and E

• to the right of E

• between A and B
