Plate Tectonics

What is it called when two tectonic plates interact/touch?

• Transform
• Shear
• Boundary
• Earthquake zone

What can form at convergent boundaries?

• Mountains
• Volcanoes
• Rift Valley
• Mountains and volcanoes

What occurs at some divergent boundaries?

• Sea floor spreading
• Mountain building
• Subduction
• Plates slide past each other

Where do both earthquakes and volcanoes commonly form?

• Divergent boundaries
• Transform boundaries
• Plate boundaries
• Middle of the ocean

When a more dense plate sinks below another, we call this

• convergent
• divergent
• transform
• subduction

A break in Earth's crust is called a

• fault
• tectonic plate
• mid-ocean ridge
• sinkhole

Which layer is the MOST dense?

• Outer core
• Lithosphere
• Mesosphere
• Inner core

Which stress do the arrows motion indicate?

• tension
• compression
• transform
• shear

What boundary forms when plates collide?

• Divergent
• Convergent
• Transform
• Normal Fault

What boundary forms when plates separate? 

• Divergent
• Convergent
• Transform
• Tension
