The theory of _______ states that Earth’s crust and upper mantle are broken into sections that are in constant, slow motion.
Plate Tectonics
continental drift
seafloor spreading
divergent boundaries
Which of these events can ONLY happen on a DIVERGENT BOUNDARY?
Rift Valley
Mountain
A peninsula
An Insanely complex, long answer that you will click out of instinct.
Which of the following is NOT a tectonic boundary?
Convergent
Divergent
Sedergent
Transform
What is this image...
Revolving boundary
San Andreas (Transform)
Convergent
The Great Rift Valley in Africa and the Mid-Ocean Ridge were all created by this boundary
Divergent
Convergent
Reform
Transform
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
The diagram shows a model of the movement of two tectonic plates. When the plates collide, on plate often moves below the other plate. The rising magma that can result from this type of plate movement may produce-
fossil layers
volcanic islands
deep-sea sediment
seafloor spreading
The map shows the locations of four active volcanoes in the Caribbean Sea. What do these volcanoes indicate about plate tectonics in the region?
The volcanoes form an island arc, indicating a converging plate boundary
The volcanoes form a line, indicating a diverging plate boundary.
Two plates are moving past each other, causing faulting and magma formation.
Two plates are moving apart, creating new seafloor
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 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.
