A mid-ocean RIDGE is located at the boundary of two tectonic plates. Which diagram correctly models the relative plate motion on each side of a mid ocean ridge?
Rift valleys can form when fractures in Earth's crust widen. The valley walls slowly move at a rate of only a few millimeters a year. Which of these best describes the type of tectonic activity that forms rift valleys?
Rift valleys form where a continental plate moves under an oceanic plate
Rift valleys form where a plate slides horizontally past another plate
Rift valleys form where two plates move away from each other.
Rift valleys form where an oceanic plate moves under another oceanic plate.
The San Andreas fault is a transform fault. The map below shows a student's approximation of where the fault line crosses through the United States. Students were asked to make maps predicting which way land would most likely move over thousands of years.
The model below shows two continental plates. The folded mountains in this model form at which type of plate boundary?
Transform boundary
Divergent boundary
Subduction boundary
Convergent boundary
