WorksheetsLesson 3. Landforms and Processes along Plate Boundaries
Total questions: 20
Worksheet time: 21mins
Due to the movement of the plates, what event may be felt by humans in nearby places?
Typhoon
Earthquake
Thunderstorm
El Niño
Which of these statements is FALSE about the convergence of two continental plates?
When two continental plates are converging, a collision zone is created.
There is no subduction, no trench, and no volcanoes formed.
Both plates collide and buckle up forming mountain ranges.
The leading edge of the subducted plate melts in the mantle and magma rises.
For items 3-4 refer to Figure 1.
What type of plate boundary is shown between Plate A and Plate B?
Convergent Plate Boundary
Divergent Plate Boundary
Transform Fault Plate Boundary
Strike-Slip Fault Plate Boundary
If Plate A is an oceanic plate, and Plate B is a continental plate, which of the two will undergo subduction?
Plate A
Plate B
Both Plate A and B
Neither Plate A nor B
Which of the following characterize a transform fault boundary? Plates move
toward each other
apart from each other
slide past each other
in all directions
As plates diverge from each other, a vertical space that may extend deep down into the lowest layer of the crust is created. What do you call this land formation?
Trench
Ocean Ridge
Mountain Range
Rift Valley
If the divergence continues, what could probably happen to the size of the space between the splitting crusts?
Increases
Decreases
Stays the same
Reduces
What type of plate boundary/ies cause/s earthquakes?
I. convergent
II. divergent
III. transform fault
I and II
I only
II only
I, II, and III
Which of the following processes occurs at a Divergent Plate Boundary?
Plates moves horizontally against each other, producing a crack called fault on the ground
A denser plate subducts under the overriding less dense plate.
Earth’s size changes because mountains are added on the earth’s surface.
New oceanic crust or seafloor is created in a process known as seafloor spreading.
11.) It is the process by which a plate dives under a less dense plate.
(a)
12.) At the mantle, the leading edge of the subducting plate melts or becomes fluid. Another term for this hot molten material.
(a)
13.) A Japanese term for harbor wave, referred as a disturbance in the ocean caused by the flipping or kicking of water upwards to a few meters high.
(a)
14.) This is formed when two continental plates converge.
(a)
15.) A mountain-like structure formed when plates are diverging.
(a)
16.) It refers to a crack in the ground produced when two plates horizontally slide past each other.
(a)
17.) A landform produced in the middle of the ocean, when magma in the earth’s mantle develops a great pressure pushing upward the ground above it.
(a)
18.) A type of convergence creating volcanic island arc.
(a)
19.) A type of convergence that will NOT cause subduction, volcanoes, nor tsunamis.
(a)
20.) It is a process that occurs at mid-ocean ridges, where new oceanic crust is formed.
(a)
1.) What landform is produced when an oceanic plate converge with a continental plate?
mountain range
island volcanic arc
continental volcanic arc
fault
