Bell Ringer Tectonic Plate

What are the three main types of tectonic plates?

• Convergent, divergent, and transform boundaries

• Oceanic, continental, and transitional boundaries

• Volcanic, earthquake, and fault boundaries

• Subduction, collision, and sliding boundaries

Name the boundary where two tectonic plates move away from each other.

• Divergent boundary

• Convergent boundary

• Subduction boundary

• Transform boundary

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

• Transform boundary

• Convergent boundary

• Divergent boundary

• Subduction boundary

How do divergent boundaries affect the Earth's surface?

• Divergent boundaries affect the Earth's surface by creating new crust and volcanic activity.

• Divergent boundaries affect the Earth's surface by reducing volcanic activity.

• Divergent boundaries affect the Earth's surface by increasing the density of the crust.

• Divergent boundaries affect the Earth's surface by causing earthquakes and tsunamis.

What is the name for the boundary where two tectonic plates collide and one is forced beneath the other?

• Plate boundary

• Subduction zone

• Collision zone

• Tectonic junction

What are the effects of tectonic plate movement on the Earth's surface?

• Tectonic plate movement causes the extinction of marine life

• Tectonic plate movement results in the melting of polar ice caps

• Tectonic plate movement can cause earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, mountain formation, and the creation of ocean basins.

• Tectonic plate movement leads to the formation of clouds and precipitation

Which type of tectonic plate boundary is associated with the formation of mountain ranges?

• Divergent boundary

• Transform boundary

• Subduction boundary

• Convergent boundary

What are the consequences of tectonic plate movement for human settlements?

• Enhanced urban development

• Improved transportation infrastructure

• Increased agricultural productivity

• The consequences of tectonic plate movement for human settlements include the risk of earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, and tsunamis, which can lead to destruction and loss of life.

Name one natural disaster that can occur as a result of tectonic plate movement.

• Volcanic eruption

• Earthquake

• Flood

• Tornado

How do tectonic plates contribute to the formation of earthquakes?

• Tectonic plates contribute to the formation of earthquakes by emitting electromagnetic waves

• Tectonic plates contribute to the formation of earthquakes by attracting volcanic eruptions

• Tectonic plates contribute to the formation of earthquakes by influencing the weather patterns

• Tectonic plates contribute to the formation of earthquakes by their movement and interaction, causing stress and pressure to build up and eventually be released.
