In the process of subduction, why would one plate move under another plate?

• As a result of the plates being connected by a strong adhesive
• Because of the wind force pushing one plate down
• Due to magnetic attraction between the plates
• Differences in density and the force of gravity

Subduction is...

• the process of one tectonic plate moving under another tectonic plate
• the process of tectonic plates moving away from each other
• the process of tectonic plates colliding and forming mountains
• the process of one tectonic plate moving on top of another tectonic plate

Which of the following best describes a rift valley?

• caused by lava breaking though the crust and building up over time until the land rises above the level of the ocean

• a landform created when two or more of Earth's tectonic plates are pushed together

• a long valley formed by the sinking of the earth's crust between a continental-continental divergent boundary

• caused by oceanic plates diverging
