Which type of movement occurs at convergent boundaries?

• Two plates move toward each other at convergent plate boundaries.

• Two plates slide against each other at convergent plate boundaries.

• Two plates move away from each other at convergent plate boundaries.

Which crustal feature is not formed at convergent boundaries?

• Islands

• Rift Valleys

• Volcanoes

• Mountains

Mid-oceanic ridges form where two plates are separating and new ocean floor is being made.

What type of tectonic boundary is found in this area?

• Divergent Boundary

• Strike-Slip Boundary

• Transform Boundary

• Convergent Boundary

Islands in the Pacific Ocean form because

• as the sea floor spreads apart, sediments gather due to ocean currents.

• the pressure of the water causes magma to rise to the surface.

• the sea floor is spreading apart and magma is pushing to the surface.

• the tectonic plates are pushed together, forming underwater mountains.

Tectonic plates move in various directions along their boundaries resulting in the formation of crustal features. Which crustal features form at a convergent plate boundary?

• mountain, volcano

• rift valley, mid-ocean ridge

• earthquake, fault
