Geology and Plate Tectonics Quiz Oct 3

What are the three types of plate boundaries discussed in the video?

• Divergent, Convergent, Transform

• Divergent, Parallel, Transform

• Convergent, Parallel, Horizontal

• Transform, Vertical, Divergent

(a)   is the type of plate boundary associated with the formation of new oceanic crust.

• Convergent Boundaries
• Divergent Boundaries
• Transform Boundaries
• Parallel Boundaries

What is a characteristic of shield volcanoes?

• Explosive eruptions due to gas viscosity

• Gentle slopes and primarily basaltic lava

• Built from ejected lava fragments

• Formation of mountain ranges

What is the primary difference between P waves and S waves?

• P waves are shear waves, S waves are compressional

• P waves travel slower than S waves

• P waves are compressional and travel fastest, S waves are shear waves

• S waves cause more destruction than P waves

Match the following geological features with the type of plate boundary they are most commonly associated with.

• Convergent boundary (continental collision)

• Deep ocean trenches

• Divergent boundary

• San Andreas Fault

• Transform boundary

• Mid-ocean ridges

• Convergent boundary (subduction zone)
