Movements of Plates and Formation of Folds and Faults

Movement of plate boundaries results to many events or land formations. Which of the following is the reason behind mountain formations?

• Converging Plate

• Diverging Plates

• Transform fault

• sea floor spreading

This is a theory that supports continental drift theory and seafloor spreading

The movement of this plate is towards the opposite direction or moving away from each other

This plate’s movement creates mountain and volcanic arcs. Marianas Trench was also created by this movement.

• convergent

• Divergent

• Transform fault

• diverse

Which of the following refers to a region where plates meet?

• Fault

• Plate Boundary

• Mountain

• Volcanic Arc

There are three distinct types of plate boundaries. Which of those types creates a zone of tension by moving the plates apart?

• Convergent Boundary

• Divergent Boundary

• Transform Fault

• convection

When two tectonic plates collide, the continental crust usually rises over the oceanic crust. What is the reason behind this?

• Oceanic crust is denser than continental crust

• Thicker than continental crust

• Thinner than continental crust

• oceanic crust is less dense than continental crust

What geologic feature could result out of the direction of movement indicated in the arrows below?

• mild-oceanic ridge

• mountain

• mountain ranges

• volcanic arc

Which of the following resulted to the formation of new crust from magma that rises to the earth’s surface between two plate boundaries?

• convergent boundary

• divergent boundary

• strike fault

• transform boundary

Which of the following is associated with the discovery of seafloor spreading?

• Mountains and Volcanoes are denser than mantle

• Rotational pole of the earth has migrated or moved.

• The crust of the continents is denser than the crust of the ocean

• The crust of the oceans is very young relative to the age of the crust of the continents
