Plate Tectonic and Plate Boundaries

What geological features are typically formed at a divergent / constructive plate boundary?

• Fold mountains

• Composite volcanoes

• Mid-ocean ridges

• Crater

Which plate typically subducts when an oceanic and continental plate meet at a convergent / destructive boundary?

• The continental plate, because it is thicker.

• The oceanic plate, because it is denser.

• Both plates subduct equally.

• Neither plate subducts; they form fold mountains.

What is the primary geological event associated with transform / conservative plate boundaries?

• Volcanic eruptions

• Formation of new crust

• Earthquakes

• Mountain building
