Dhon and Paul are studying geology and are curious about the forces that shape our planet. They learn that certain types of plate boundaries are responsible for creating vast mountain systems like the Himalayas. Which type of plate boundary are they most likely discussing?

• Oceanic-continental convergence

• Oceanic-oceanic convergence

• Continental-continental convergence

• Divergent boundary

During a geography class, Ken asked, "Which of the following best describes the plate boundary responsible for the formation of the Philippines?"

• Oceanic-continental convergence

• Oceanic-oceanic convergence

• Continental-continental convergence

• Transform fault

Dhon and Paul were exploring a geological site when they noticed that two tectonic plates were moving apart from each other. What geologic feature typically forms in such a scenario?

• Subduction zone

• Rift valley

• Ocean trench

• Fold mountains

Dhon and Paul are studying geology and come across a discussion about tectonic plates. They wonder, which of these does NOT typically form at a divergent boundary?

• Rift valley

• Mid-ocean ridge

• Volcanoes

• Fold mountains

While on a field trip, Ken and Paul are exploring an area near a tectonic plate boundary. They wonder which of the following geological features would be unlikely to form in a region of converging plates?

• Mountain ranges

• Volcanic islands

• Ocean ridges

• Active volcanoes

During a geography class, Dhon, Paul, and Ken learned about tectonic plates. What term is used to describe the area where one tectonic plate bends and moves beneath another plate?

• Rift valley

• Subduction zone

• Mid-ocean ridge

• Volcanic plateau

Dhon and Paul are studying geology together. They come across a scenario where two tectonic plates are sliding horizontally past each other. What type of plate boundary are they observing?

• Divergent boundary

• Convergent boundary

• Transform fault

• Rift zone

During a field trip, Paul and Ken observed a geologic structure that formed when two tectonic plates moved apart, leaving a gap. What type of structure did they see?

• Ocean trench

• Subduction zone

• Rift valley

• Fold mountain

During a marine biology class, Ken learned about the long, continuous chain of underwater mountains known as:

• Abyssal plain

• Mid-oceanic ridge

• Trench

• Continental shelf

During a geography class, Paul asked, "The collision between the Eurasian plate and the Indian plate gave rise to which famous mountain range?"

• Rockies

• Andes

• Himalayas

• Alps
