1.

What natural event will MOST LIKELY occur at a convergent plate boundary?

a)

Earthquake will occur due to the cracks caused by the collision

b)

Nearby volcanoes will erupt from the continental plates shifting

c)

The converging plates will meet and rise, causing the crumbled rock from the impact to form a mountain range

d)

The updraft of wind from the colliding plate boundary will make a hurricane occur

e)

Nothing except a slight vibration of the area near collision will happen

2.

4.

(Challenge Question)

Select all possible outcomes of a convergent plate boundary listed below

a)

Continental Crust is created and Oceanic Crust is destroyed

b)

Major folding of plates and possible creation of fault

c)

Updraft of seismic convection, creating an abundance of heat waves that move towards the surface

d)

Magma from mantle rises, causing subtle amounts of magma cooling at the surface

e)

All of the above

5.

Draw ( to the best of your ability ) a divergent plate boundary

6.

Describe the tectonic plate boundary shown

7.

A boundary occurs when two plates collides and usually forms mountain ranges.

(a)  

8.

(Challenge Question)

What happens during the aftermath of a divergent plate boundary?

a)

Magma from the mantle slowly rises, cools at the surface to form new crust

b)

An earthquake occurs to to the crust spreading, releasing pressure from the mantle, leaving a fault

c)

Water fills the gap creating more oceanic crust; more ocean/water, or a lake
