Plate tectonics - by Mr. Milos

What are the pieces into which Earth's crust is broken?

• Tectonic plastics

• Tectonic plates

• Tectonic plateaus

• Tectonics

What drives the movement of tectonic plates?

• Wind, Rain, Snow, Sunlight

• Earthquakes

• Convection currents in the mantle

• Volcanic eruptions

What happens at a convergent plate boundary when two tectonic plates collide?

• Volcanic arc will be formed

• Mountains will be formed

• Rift valley will be formed

• Submarine ridge will be formed

What happens at a continental vs oceanic convergent plate boundary?

• Oceanic plate will sink, because it is denser

• Both plates will rise, volcanic arc will be formed

• Continental will sink and earthquakes will happen

• Both plates will sink, rift valley will be formed

What happens at a divergent plate boundary when two tectonic plates move apart?

• Mountains will be formed

• Rift valley will be formed

• Volcanic arc will be formed

• River valley will be formed

Where can a divergent plate boundary occur?

• Only on the surface

• Only under the ocean

• Both on the surface and under the ocean

• Neither on the surface nor under the ocean

What type of boundary is formed when two tectonic plates move apart?

• Subduction plate boundary

• Convergent plate boundary

• Divergent plate boundary

• Transform plate boundary

What type of boundary is formed when two tectonic plates collide?

• Convergent plate boundary

• Transform plate boundary

• Subduction plate boundary

• Divergent plate boundary

What type of boundary is formed when two tectonic plates slide past each other?

• Divergent plate boundary

• Convergent plate boundary

• Transform plate boundary

• Subduction plate boundary

What is created during the Oceanic vs Oceanic plate boundary collision?

• Volcanic Arc

• Mountains

• Rift valleys

• Submarine ridge
