Where are tectonic/volcanic activities occurring?
Middle of the plates
Edge/boundary of the plates
North section of the plates
West of the plates
Which plate boundary forms volcanic arc or volcanic island? Use the pink-aid or plate tectonic foldable.
Divergent
Convergent
Transform
Remember the aluminum foil activity you did. Which plate boundary did it model?
Transform
Convergent
Divergent
When plates are moving away from each other, which of the following maybe formed (choose 3 answers)? Use the pink-aid (Page 13, Science Booklet) or the plate tectonic card.
mountains
mid-ocean ridges
earthquake
new crust
trench
When one plate goes under another plate, this process is called _______. (Clue: Think of trains in New York that are underground.)
Divergence
Convection
Subduction
Convergence
Which crustal features are formed by convergent plate boundary? Use Pink-Aid Pg 13 Science Booklet or the plate tectonic foldable.
mountain ranges, trench, island arc, volcanoes, mid-ocean ridges
volcanoes, volcanic island, mountains, trench
rift valley, seafloor spreading, mid-ocean ridges, fault
trench, fault, ridges, island arc
Which of the following models show how new crust and mid-ocean ridges are formed? Drag the 2 circles to the correct model (only 1 model).
(a) slides past each other. This creates (b) . (c) is where plates move toward each other forming (d) and trenches. (e) makes plates move away from each other. It forms mid-ocean ridge, new crust and rift valleys.
Draw the movement of divergent plate boundary using two arrows.
Match the vocab word to the definition.
Convection current
makes plates move
Magma
semi-solid material in the mantle
Boundary
where plates meet
North America
plate where US is located
Plate Tectonic Theory
