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.
A mid-ocean ridge separates the Pacific plate and the Nazca plate off the western coast of South America. Which statement best describes the relative motions of the Pacific and Nazca plates?
The Pacific and Nazca plates are moving to the east
The Pacific and Nazca plates are both moving to the west
The Pacific plate is moving to the west, and the Nazca plate is moving to the east
The Pacific plate is moving to the east, and the Nazca plate is moving to the west
The image shows a plate boundary. Arrows have been added to indicate the movement of the plates. What plate boundary feature is also shown?
A ridge formed by an inactive convergent boundary
A valley forming at an active divergent boundary
A fault forming at an active transform boundary
A volcano formed by an active transform boundary
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
Most earthquakes tend to occur at which location?
The central regions of very large continents
Groups of islands farthest from any continents
The boundaries between continents and oceans
The steep slopes of the very oldest mountains
A map is provided that presents information on a certain region of the Earth. Based on the information on the map, at which location are mountains most likely to form?
A
B
C
D
A force caused the continents to drift apart over time. Once scientists figured out what that force was, the theory of plate tectonics was born! The image above shows what Geologists think the Earth looked like millions of years ago. What name was given to this land mass.
Plate Tectonics
Oceana
Pangea
North America
