Plate Motion - Blue Group

What are the three types of plate boundaries?

• Divergent boundaries, convergent boundaries, and transform boundaries

• Oceanic boundaries, continental boundaries, and island boundaries

• Tectonic boundaries, fault boundaries, and rift boundaries

• Subduction boundaries, collision boundaries, and sliding boundaries

Which type of plate boundary occurs when two plates collide?

• subduction

• convergent

• transform

• divergent

What type of plate boundary occurs when two plates move apart?

• convergent

• transform

• subduction

• divergent

What type of plate boundary occurs when two plates slide past each other?

• convergent plate boundary

• divergent plate boundary

• subduction plate boundary

• transform plate boundary

What is continental drift?

• The theory that explains how the Earth's continents have remained stationary over time.

• The theory that explains how the Earth's continents have shrunk in size over time.

• The theory that explains how the Earth's continents have collided with each other.

• The theory that explains how the Earth's continents have moved over time.

Which type of plate boundary forms mountains?

• Divergent plate boundary

• Convergent plate boundary

• Transform plate boundary

• Subduction plate boundary

Which type of plate boundary forms rift valleys?

• Subduction plate boundary

• Divergent plate boundary

• Convergent plate boundary

• Transform plate boundary

Which type of plate boundary is associated with earthquakes and volcanic activity?

• subduction zone

• convergent plate boundary

• divergent plate boundary

• transform plate boundary

Who proposed the theory of continental drift?

• Isaac Newton

• Charles Darwin

• Alfred Wegener

• Marie Curie

What evidence supports the theory of continental drift?

• The movement of tectonic plates is a myth.

• The matching shapes of coastlines, the distribution of fossils across continents, and the alignment of mountain ranges.

• The theory of continental drift is based on fabricated data.

• The alignment of mountain ranges is purely coincidental.
