WorksheetsThe Process of Plate Tectonics
Total questions: 16
Worksheet time: 9mins
These are active regions between the plate tectonic plates.
hot spots
plate boundaries
trenches
What kind of plate boundary shows in the picture above?
Convergent plate boundary
Divergent plate boundary
Transform fault boundary
When do hot materials from the mantle move upward and fill up the the spaces as the oceanic crust is ripped apart?
when destructive plate margins occur
when constructive plate margins occur
when there's a fault in plate tectonics
These are constant spreading of new seafloor as the rocks cool, forming underwater mountain ranges.
continental ridges
oceanic ridges
fault ridges
When do formation of new lithosphere pushes the older lithosphere, exerting pressure on it?
during two plates move apart
during two plates collide
during two plates move upward
What is the deepest trench known in the world?
Mariana Trench
Philippine Trench
Java trench
This collision may rise through the crust, resulting in volcanic activities.
conduction
convection
subduction
The plates slide horizontally against each other without the construction or destruction of lithosphere.
constructive plate margins
conservative plate margins
destructive plate margins
What kind of heat transfer is under the mechanism of motion of plate tectonic?
conduction
convection
radiation
These are convective flow of the mantle that exerts a force.
mantle drag
slab pull
ridge push
What will happen if rocks are heated in the mantle?
it becomes buoyant and go down to the surface
it becomes buoyant and compress to each other
it becomes buoyant and rise to the surface
What will be generated after the rocks cool and sink back to reheated and rise again to repeat the cycle?
conduction cell
convection cell
subduction cell
When do plate motion is enhance?
when the flow of the asthenosphere is significantly faster than the movement of the lithosphere above it
when the flow of the lithosphere is significantly faster than the movement of the asthenosphere above it
when the flow of the asthenosphere is siginificantly faster than the movement of the lithosphere below it
It is a phenomenon when the trailing slabs of the lithosphere are pulled along asthenosphere.
slab push
slab pull
ridge push
It is the process of lithosphere to slide down as the other side of the plate causes higher elevation.
ridge push
ridge pull
slab pull
When do hot materials from the mantle move upward and fill up the the spaces as the oceanic crust is ripped apart?
when destructive plate margins occur
when constructive plate margins occur
when there's a fault in plate tectonics
