Forces that Changed the Earth

The folded mountains in this model form at which type of plate boundary?

• transform boundary
• divergent boundary
• subduction boundary
• convergent boundary

**

• peninsula
• volcano
• delta
• plateau

**

• the mass of a the plates
• the weight of the plates
• unbalanced force
• gravitational force

Which type of plate boundary would cause folded mountains to form? 

• transform
• convergent
• divergent
• subduction

What drives tectonic plate movement? 

• gravity
• coriolis effect
• convection currents
• the earth's magnetic core

Earthquakes and volcanoes are most likely found in which locations? 

• at plate boundaries
• in oceans
• in the middle of continents
• in the middle of plates

When an oceanic plate and a continental plate collide, which one will subduct? 

• oceanic
• continental
• neither
• both

According to Wegener's hypothesis of continental drift, 

• Earth's surface is made up of seven major landmasses
• the continents DO NOT move
• Earth is slowly cooling and shrinking
• the continents were once joined together in a single landmass

Which type of plate boundaries occur at X?

• Divergent
• convergent
• transform
• subducting

What feature occurs at Y?

• mid-ocean ridge
• deep ocean trench
• hot spot
• rift
