Module F, Unit 1, Lesson 3: Earth's Plates

1. These are the traces or remains of organisms that lived long ago

• Deposits
• Fossils
• Relics
• Specimens

2. This is the "edge" of a continent that is covered with water.

• Shoreline
• Continental Shelf
• Seamount
• Mid Ocean Ridge

3. The Mid Ocean Ridge is a continuous underwater

• Shoreline
• Coral Reef
• Trench
• Mountain Chain

4. Oceans form by the process known as

• Ocean set up
• Seafloor spreading
• Seafloor composition
• Ocean accumulation

5. This zone is where one plate moves under another (like at a trench) and is forced or sinks due to gravity into the mantle. The crust is then recycled.

• Subduction Zone
• Reduction Zone
• Sinking Zone
• Decrease Zone

6. Plates that spread apart are called

• Convergent
• Transform
• Divergent
• Splitting

7. Plates that horizontally slide past each other are called

• Transform
• Divergent
• Convergent
• Parallel

8. Plates that move towards each other are called

• Divergent
• Convergent
• Transform
• Fronting

9. What occurs when an Ocean Plate and a Continental Plate collide?

• The continental plate moves under the ocean plate and sinks into the mantle.
• The ocean plate moves under the continental plate and sinks into the mantle.
• Both plates will sink into the mantle.
• Mountains will form from the plates pushing against each other.

10. What occurs when two Continental Plates collide?

• One continental plate moves under the other continental plate and sinks into the mantle.
• Both plates will sink into the mantle.
• Mountains will form from the plates pushing against each other.
• They will eventually stop colliding and stay in place where they are.
