The Earth's crust is composed of plates that are constantly moving with each other. What principle suggests this statement?

• Earthquakes and Volcanoes

• Continental Drift Theory

• Plate Tectonics

• Plate Boundaries

What land can be produced by the collision of two continental plates?

• oceanic trench

• mountain volcanoes

• oceanic trench

• mountain ranges

What is the driving force behind the movement of the plates?

• 
• 
•

Plate boundaries are the cracks or the gaps found in between crustal plates. These boundaries are classified based on how two plates move with one another. If two tectonic plates move away from each other what kind of plate boundary do they have?

• divergent boundary

• convergent boundary

• seismic boundary

• transform boundary

Which of the following geologic structures or features are formed in the diverging of tectonic plates?

• formation of rift valleys & oceanic ridges

• mountain ranges

• volcano

• volcanic arc

Fault lines are large cracks on the Earth's crust. These are formed when two tectonic plates slide past each other. What plate boundary formed these fault lines?

• divergent boundary

• convergent boundary

• transform boundary

• tectonic plates
