What are the two types of crust?
Convergent and Divergent
Continental and Oceanic

What happens at the boundary where a continental plate and an oceanic plate collide?
The oceanic plate is forced down under the continental plate
The continental plate slips under the oceanic plate
Mountains develop on edge of the oceanic plate
How is the subduction zone formed?
When two plates slide each past each other
When two plates move toward each other
When one tectonic plate sinks below another
Why does the oceanic crust sink beneath the continental crust at a subduction boundary?
The oceanic crust has a greater density
The oceanic crust has a lighter density
The oceanic crust is hotter
What is/are formed when two oceanic plates collide?
Tsunami
Trench
Mountain Ranges
The formation of the Philippine archipelago is the result of the?
Continental-oceanic convergence
Oceanic-Continental Convergence
Oceanic-Oceanic Convergence
What happens when two continental plates collide?
Neither the plates will be subducted
Both two plates will go downward
One plate will go under and subducts
How is a tsunami formed?
When denser plate is subducted
When strong earthquakes are generated at the ocean floor
When continental plate is collided with another continental plate
What will happen to the leading edge of the subducted denser plate?
It will later reach the mantle, causing it to melt and turn into magma
It will later reach the mantle and evaporate
Volcanic arc will form
