Convergent Boundaries Quiz

What is a subduction zone?

• When a continental plate is forced down into the mantle beneath an oceanic plate

• When two continental plates collide

• When an oceanic plate is forced down into the mantle beneath another plate

• When two oceanic plates collide

What happens to the denser oceanic slab in a subduction zone?

• It remains at the same depth

• It sinks into the asthenosphere

• It rises to the surface

• It transforms into a continental plate

What happens when two oceanic slabs converge?

• One slab descends beneath the other

• Both slabs rise to the surface
