Find the Nazca and the South American Plate. This is an example of two plates converging. The denser oceanic plate (Nazca) moves under the continental plate (South American Plate)and creates subduction. What features are likely found here?

• Rift Valleys

• Volcanoes

• Folded Mountains

• Ocean Basins

The large plates move across the surface of the Earth because of what process?

• Convection

• Radiation

• Condensation

• Conduction

The Indian Plate (far right of plate picture) converges with the Eurasian Plate. When two continental plates converge, what crustal feature is expected to form?

• Rift Valley

• Volcanoe

• Folded Mountain

• Ocean Basin

A picture of sea-floor spreading is shown. How are the oceanic crust moving?

• Converging

• Diverging

• Sliding

• No movement

The San Andreas Fault in California is known as an active earthquate area. What type of bounary is it?

• Convergent

• Divergent

• Transform

• Sea Floor Spreading

When two oceanic plate boundaries converge, what crustal feature forms? (See photo

• Plate Tectonics

• Sea Floor Spreading

• Folded Mountains

• Vocanic Island Arc

When an oceanic crust meets and continental crust, what occurs?

• The oceanic crust moves under the continental crust resulting in volcanoes.

• The oceanic crust moves over the continental crust resulting in volcanoes.

• The two crusts converge forming folded mountains such as the Himalayas.

• Both crusts subduct down into the mantle

Match each diagram with the correct boundary type.

• Transform Boundary

• 
• Convergent Bountary

• 
• Subduction

• 
• Divergent Boundary
