Convergent Divergent Boundary

Which of the following features is most likely formed at converging continental plate boundaries?

• Rift valley

• Mid-Ocean ridge

• Fault line

• Mountain range

A rift valley is evidence of which kind of plate boundary?

• Convergent

• Transform

• Divergent

• Uniform

This type of movement indicates that which plate boundary is present at this location?

• Convergent boundary

• Transform boundary

• Divergent boundary

• Complex boundary

Which of these describes a divergent boundary?

• Two continental plates moving away from each other, forming a rift valley

• Two oceanic plates rubbing against each other, forming a fault line

• Two continental plates colliding, forming a mountain range

• Two oceanic plates colliding, forming a volcanic arc

Which surface feature was produced by crustal movements at a transform plate boundary?

• East African Rift

• Aleutian Trench

• Tasman Hot Spot

• San Andreas Fault

What type of plate boundary is found between the South American and the Nazca Plate?

• Divergent boundary

• Convergent boundary

• Transform boundary

• Uniform boundary

Many processes on Earth occur at or near tectonic plate boundaries. Which geological events are most common along tectonic plate boundaries?

• erosion and deposition

• hurricanes and tornadoes

• earthquakes and volcanoes

• tidal waves and sedimentation

These crustal features are most likely caused by which of the following?

• Plates colliding in the lithosphere

• Sinking iron and magnesium in the lithosphere

• Oceanic plates moving apart from one another

• Cooler temperatures in the mantle
