Plate Tectonics-Transform Fault Boundaries

What are the objectives of this lesson?

• To describe transform fault boundaries

• To differentiate the two types of transform fault boundaries

• To determine the effects of transform fault boundaries

• To recognize the wonderful results of the types of plate boundaries

What is the purpose of the activity 'Marking Boundaries'?

• To recall the first two types of plate boundaries

• To practice writing skills

• To learn about different types of rocks

• To understand the concept of earthquakes

What happens in transform fault boundaries?

• Plates collide and form mountains

• Plates separate and create new crust

• Plates slide past each other

• Plates sink beneath each other

Where are most of the transform faults found?

• In the mountains

• In the ocean basins

• In the deserts

• In the rainforests

What is the result of transform fault boundaries?

• Formation of volcanoes

• Creation of rift valleys

• Frequent earthquakes

• Displacement of rocks

Which type of plate boundary forms mountains?

• Convergent boundaries

• Divergent boundaries

• Transform fault boundaries

• All of the above

Which type of plate boundary forms rift valleys?

• Convergent boundaries

• Divergent boundaries

• Transform fault boundaries

• None of the above

Which type of plate boundary forms island arcs?

• Convergent boundaries

• Divergent boundaries

• Transform fault boundaries

• All of the above

What is the result of transform fault boundaries in terms of crust?

• Crust is melted and destroyed

• Crust is created and expanded

• Crust is displaced and torn apart

• Crust remains unchanged

What is the main difference between oceanic-oceanic and continental-continental transform fault boundaries?

• The speed at which the plates move

• The type of rocks involved

• The presence of subduction zones

• The location of the boundaries
