Nazca Plate
At the convergent boundary between oceanic plate and continental plate,_________________ zone is formed.
tension
subduction
shearing
rifting
It is formed by convergence of two oceanic plates.
It is formed when two continental plates collide.
Crustal plate A is moving away from crustal plate B. What is the expected average rate of change in position between A and B?
a few centimeters per year
a few meters per month
a few millimeters per century
a few millimeters per day
If you visit a place in the Pacific known to be along converging plates, which of these should you NOT expect to see?
active volcanoes
mountain ranges
rift valleys
volcanic islands
In a hot spot, Volcano A is on top of the mantle plume, Volcano B is 10 km farther from A while Volcano C is 30 km away from Volcano A. D is the farthest. What can you infer about the ages of the volcanoes?
Volcano A is older than C
Volcano B is the oldest
Volcano D is the youngest
Volcano B is younger than C
What do you expect to find parallel to a trench?
The tall landform created when two continental plates converge.
It is a plate which dives down under a less dense plate during a subduction.
subducting plate
continental plate
mantle
overriding plate
A type of plate boundary where subduction process can only occur.
convergent
divergent
tectonic
transform
Volcanoes are formed through different processes except.
subduction
hot spot
fissure
collision of two continental plate
It is the process wherein the leading edge of one plate bends downward into the mantle beneath the other plate.
rifting
seafloor spreading
subduction
hotspot
Right in the middle of an island, you can find a rift valley. What type of plate boundary exists on that island?
convergent
divergent
normal fault
transform fault
