Define magma

• where two tectonic

  plates come together,

  which forms mountains

  
  

• a molten rock, which can flow upward and cool to form new crust

• where two tectonic plates move in opposite directions

• the area of separation between two plates, where

  magma can flow up and form new crust

  
  

• where two tectonic plates

  slide past each other,

  which causes

  earthquakes

  
  

Define divergent boundary

• where two tectonic

  plates come together,

  which forms mountains

  
  

• a molten rock, which can flow upward and cool to form new crust

• where two tectonic plates move in opposite directions

• the area of separation between two plates, where

  magma can flow up and form new crust

  
  

• where two tectonic plates

  slide past each other,

  which causes

  earthquakes

  
  

Define convergent boundary

• where two tectonic

  plates come together,

  which forms mountains

  
  

• a molten rock, which can flow upward and cool to form new crust

• where two tectonic plates move in opposite directions

• the area of separation between two plates, where

  magma can flow up and form new crust

  
  

• where two tectonic plates

  slide past each other,

  which causes

  earthquakes

Define transform boundary

• where two tectonic

  plates come together,

  which forms mountains

  
  

• a molten rock, which can flow upward and cool to form new crust

• where two tectonic plates move in opposite directions

• the area of separation between two plates, where

  magma can flow up and form new crust

  
  

• where two tectonic plates

  slide past each other,

  which causes

  earthquakes

  
  

What are the three main types of plate boundaries?

• convergent, divergent, transform

• convection, divergent, transform

• convergent, divergent, transfer

• convection, divergent, transfer

Which is the ONLY plate boundary that does NOT involve magma?

• divergent

• convergent

• transform

• convection

Converging plates create mountains if the colliding plates are the same density.

• True

• False

Subduction occurs when plates collide and one plate is denser than the other.

• True

• False
