Plate tectonics quiz 23

What is a divergent plate boundary?

• when two tectonic plates don't move

• when one tectonic plate sinks under another

• when two tectonic plates move apart from each other

• when two tectonic plates come together

What is a mid-ocean ridge?

• when an underwater mountain range forms along a CONVERGENT plate boundary.

• when an underwater mountain range forms along a DIVERGENT plate boundary.

• a long, deep indentation in the ocean floor formed along a CONVERGENT plate boundary.

• a long, deep indentation in the ocean floor formed along a DIVERGENT plate boundary.

What is a convergent plate boundary?

• when two tectonic plates don't move

• when two tectonic plates create a mid-ocean ridge

• when two tectonic plates come together

• when two tectonic plates pull apart

What is the relationship between the location of plate boundaries and earthquakes?

• Earthquakes mostly form along plate boundaries. Plate motion causes earthquakes. This is how we know where the fault lines and boundaries are

• Earthquakes cause Volcanoes to form along Convergent land vs land boundaries

• There is no relationship between the location of plate boundaries and earthquakes.

What are the large pieces or slabs of lithosphere called? Ch. 1

• tectonic plates

• lithosphere

• crust

• asthenosphere

What happens when tectonic plates move away from each other at a Mid Ocean Ridge? Ch. 1

• crust is destroyed

• crust grinds against each other

• new crust is created

• causes earthquakes

What kind of boundary is in the picture? Ch. 2

• convergent boundary

• divergent boundary

• constructive boundary

• transform boundary

What kind of boundary is in the picture? Ch. 2

• convergent boundary

• divergent boundary

• constructive boundary

• transform boundary

What does a Oceanic-Continental Convergence create? Hint: The more dense Oceanic crust will subduct under the less dense Continental crust. The increase in pressure causes an increase in temperature here making the Asthenosphere hotter.

• Trenches

• Volcanoes

• Valley

• Ridge

What kind of convergence will only make folded mountains with earthquakes. (Mount Everest is an example.

• Oceanic-Oceanic Convergence

• Oceanic-Continental Convergence

• Continental-Continental Convergence

• Transform-Oceanic Convergence
