Plate Boundaries

What type of plate boundary is this?

• Transform
• Convergent
• Divergent
• Plate

What is the only event associated with ALL plate boundaries?

• Volcanoes

• Earthquakes

• Subduction

• Deep Trenches

What two crustal features occur near every subduction zone?

• Volcanoes and Trenches

• Rift Valleys and Mid Ocean Ridges

• Volcanoes and Rift Valleys

• Mid Ocean Ridges and Trenches

The diagram shows a landform on Earth. How did the movement of Earth’s plates form the landform?

• Two oceanic plates slid past each other.

• Two continental plates collided.

• One continental plate slid past an oceanic plate.

• One continental plate subducted beneath an oceanic plate.

Use the diagram to answer the question. What results as the two oceanic plates converge?

• formation of a deep sea trench and island volcanoes

• earthquake activity and appearance of a transform fault

• volcanic eruption along both oceanic plate edges

• formation of a continental mountain range

What geologic feature/event would you most likely to find at a divergent boundary between two pieces of continental crust?

• Mid-Ocean Ridge

• Mountain

• Rift Valley

• Island Arc

What geologic feature/event would you most likely to find at a divergent boundary between two pieces of oceanic crust?

• Rift Valley

• Mid-Ocean Ridge

• Island Arc

• Flat land

In the Atlantic ocean, where is the youngest seafloor located?

• Towards the edges

• Youngest seafloor is in the middle of the ocean

The letter B represents

• Subduction zone

• Trench

• Oceanic crust

• Island Volcano Arc

The diagram below shows a cross section of a portion of the Earth. The mountain ranges at location B are most likely volcanic.

• True

• False
