Plate boundaries

A Plate Boundary where two plates move toward each other is called

• Convergent Boundary
• Divergent Boundary
• Transform Boundary
• Subduction

Convergent Plate Movement can create

• Rifts
• Mountains
• Ocean Ridges
• Radiation

During sea floor spreading, molten material rises up from the mantle...

• along the continents
• at the mid ocean ridges
• deep ocean trenches
• at north and south poles

Which of the following is where one plate slides under another plate?

• submarine zone
• divergence zone
• subduction zone
• lower zone

A plate boundary where two plates move away from each other is called

• Divergent Boundary
• Convergent Boundary
• Transform Boundary
• Subduction

What is the source of energy that drives plate movement?

• the subducton of the sea floor

• the different densities of the oceanic and crustal plates

• convection currents in the asthenosphere

• the friction force between the plates that move past each other
