• Mountains

• Volcanoes

• Trench

• Ridge

A ____________ is a plate boundary where the process of seafloor spreading can be observed.

Which of the following is TRUE about plate boundaries?

• May help us understand the processes behind landform creation and plate tectonics.

• May help us raise our awareness in the natural events associated with these plate boundaries.

• May help us in building a resilient community by studying the effects of the different geological events connected to these plate boundaries.

• All other options above are valid.

True or False:

Only volcanoes, mountain ranges and earthquakes may form/happen when plate boundaries move or interact with one another.

• True

• False

Why is a divergent plate boundary considered as a constructive boundary?

• Because new crust form when magma oozes out between the two separating plates.

• Because new landforms are created when these two plates diverge in opposite direction

• Because the plate themselves may multiply when they are being separated.
