Which information indicates that new seafloor rock is forming along a mid-ocean ridge and then moving horizontally away from the ridge?

Which cross-section diagram of a portion of the crust and mantle best shows the pattern of mantle convection currents that are believed to cause the formation of a mid-ocean ridge?

The accompanying diagram shows a cross section of a portion of Earth. The inferred motions of crustal plates are shown. Letters A through D represent locations at Earth's surface. Which letter represents the location of the mid-Atlantic Ridge?

Which cross-sectional diagram of Earth's asthenosphere best shows the convection currents that would cause crustal plate X to drift away from crustal plate Y?

The accompanying map shows the Atlantic Ocean divided into zones A, B, C, and D. The Mid-Atlantic Ridge is located between zones B and C. Which graph best represents the geologic age of the surface bedrock on the ocean bottom?

Which features are commonly formed at the plate boundaries where continental crust converges with oceanic crust?

Which feature is commonly formed at a plate boundary where oceanic crust converges with continental crust?

The diagram below shows the collision of an oceanic plate and a continental plate. Collisions between oceanic plates and continental plates are thought to result primarily from

Base your answer(s) to the following question(s) on the map below. The map represents the movement of tectonic plates that resulted in the collision of India with Asia. Scientists believe that 71 million years ago, India was at position A. Which present-day geologic feature in Nepal resulted from this collision?

The cross section below shows the location of earthquakes near a plate boundary. This distribution of earthquakes near the plate boundary is most likely caused by
