Plate Boundaries

one tectonic plate moves under another

• convergent plate boundary
• divergent plate boundary
• transform plate boundary
• subduction

The Himalayas in South Asia are an example of what type of plate boundary?

• continental-oceanic convergent
• continental-continental convergent
• oceanic-oceanic convergent
• continental-continental divergent

What would you be most likely to find at a divergent boundary between two pieces of continental crust?

• Mid-Ocean Ridge
• Mountain
• Rift
• Island Arc

The diagram below shows a model of the movement of two tectonic plates.  When the plates collide, one plate often moves below the other plate.  The rising magma that can result from this type of plate movement may produce – 

• Seafloor spreading
• Deep-sea sediment
• Volcanic islands
• Fossil layers

A subduction zone is formed...

• when one tectonic plate sinks below another
• at every type of convergent plate boundary
• at every type of divergent plate boundary
• at transform boundaries

The pieces of Earth's crust that compose the lithosphere

• Tectonic plates
• Core
• Asthenosphere
• Fault

The Earth's lithosphere contains

• The upper mantle

• The oceanic crust

• The continental crust

• All are correct

Layer of Earth between the crust and the core

• Granite
• Mantle
• Lithosphere
• Upper crust

• North American Fault
• San Andreas Fault
• South American Fault
