PROCESSES THAT OCCUR ALONG PLATE BOUNDARIES

The following are the secondary effect of movement of the plates, which of the following is NOT?

• TSUNAMI

• FIRE

• LANDSLIDE

• EARTHQUAKE

What geologic features resulted from the collision of the two continental plates?.

• VOLCANIC ISLAND ARC

• FAULT

• MOUNTAIN

• EARTHQUAKE EPICENTER

Which of the following is the result of the collision of two oceanic plates?

• TRENCH

• VOLCANO

• RIFT VALLEY

• FAULT LINE

What geologic feature produced in the convergence of two continental plates?

• FOLDED MOUNTAINS

• ISLAND ARC

• RIFT VALLEY

• TRENCHES

Which of the following can we expect to find at a mid-ocean ridge?

• RELATIVELY YOUNG ROCKS

• REVERSE FAULT

• VERY ANCIENT ROCKS

• THICK ACCUMULATION OF SEDIMENTS

Why does the oceanic crust sink beneath the continental crust at then subduction zone?

• The oceanic crust has a greater density

• The oceanic crust is pulled downward by Earth’s magnetic field.

• The oceanic crust is pushed from the ridge

• The continental crust has a denser composition.

What happens when two oceanic plates collide?

• The hot spot will form.

• The volcano island arc will form.

• The volcanoes on the edge of a continent will form

• The volcano along the mid-oceanic ridge will form.

It is a plate which dives down under a less dense plate during a subduction.

• SUBDUCTING PLATE

• OCEANIC PLATE

• MANTLE

• OVERRIDING PLATE

Which of the following is NOT a geologic process that occurs along convergent boundaries?

• EARTHQUAKES

• MOUNTAIN-BUILDING

• TORNADO

• VOLCANISM

What topographic feature is formed in divergent boundary?

• FAULT

• MOUNTAIN

• RIFT VALLEY

• VOLCANO
