Crustal plates under the ocean are moving towards each other and eventually the denser crustal plate bends towards the Earth’s mantle or undergoes subduction process. Which type of plate boundary is describe by the motion of the two plates.?
Convergence of two continental plates
Convergence of two young oceanic plates
Convergence of young and old oceanic plates
Convergence of continental and oceanic plate

ocean ridge
hot spot
volcanic arc
rift valley
In a place known to be along converging plates, all of these can be expected to see, EXCEPT
Volcanic Islands
Rift Valleys
Mountain Ranges
Active Volcanoes
You can find _________ parallel to fold mountains. What is it?
Convergence of two oceanic plates
Convergence of two continental plates

All of the above
In oceanic-oceanic convergent plate boundaries which landforms is not typically found?
Oceanic Trench

As an oceanographer, you notice that there is a potion on the ocean floor of the East Coast of the Philippines that is relatively deeper than the rest, what most likely is that deeper part?
linear sea
oceanic ridge
rift valley
trench
It is a type of convergent boundary where subduction does not occur.
oceanic-continental
continental-continental
oceanic-oceanic
none of these
In association with a convergent boundary, where can we find the existence of Volcanoes?
At the top of the trench
At the end of converging plates
Behind the trench on the overriding plate
In front of the trench on the descending plate
At convergent plate boundaries, magma form when…
The descending plate heats up and melts in the subduction zone.
Friction from earthquakes causes rocks in the descending plate to melt.
Water from the descending plate is added to rocks of the overriding plate.
High pressure causes changes to the atomic structure of minerals in the overriding plate.
A convergent plate boundary would be expected to make this kind of motion. What is it?
The plates move together - squeezing the rock and/ or making the rock float back down into the surface of the earth.
The plates move towards each other- squeezing the rock and/ or making the rock sink back down into the mantle.
The plates slide past each other- squeezing the rock and/ or making the rock sink back down into the mantle.
The plates move away from each other- squeezing the rock and/ or making the rock sink back down into the mantle.
The motion of tectonic boundaries is cause by what event?
The tides
Strong Winds
Convection currents in the mantle
The movement of magma in the core
Divergent plate boundary is best described as:
A boundary between two plates that are not moving.
A boundary between two plates that are crashing together.
A boundary between two plates that are moving apart
A boundary between two plates that are sliding past each other.
The following are geologic features that could be formed out of a plate boundary movement. Which among them is a result of divergent plate boundary?
Rift Valleys
Island Arc
Mountains
Volcano
Which of the following is found at a mid-ocean ridge?

Continental plate diverging
Oceanic-Oceanic divergent plate
Transform Plate boundary
A transform plate boundary is best described as…
Where two plates move toward and collide with each other.
Where two plates slide alongside each other.
Where two plates interact in any way.
Where two plates move apart from one another.
Where can we particularly see a transform fault?
Only along mid-ocean ridges
Only at the edge of continents
Only in the middle of continents.
Along mid-ocean ridges and other plate boundaries
