Year 9 Plate tectonics 11th January 2021

What are tectonic plates?

• Extra large ceramic plates

• Sections of the Earth's crust that are divided up, their margins create volcanoes and earthquakes

• The Earth's crust

• The top of the earth

Which of these features is NOT found at a constructive plate margin?

• Subduction Zone

• Rising Magma

• Plates moving apart

• Volcanoes

What features are found at a destructive plate boundary?

• Subduction Zone

• Fold Mountains

• Volcanoes

• Magma Sinks

Which of these is an example of a Conservative plate boundary?

• Mid Atlantic Ridge

• Himalayas Mountain Range

• The Andes Mountain Range

• San Andreas Fault

What is the correct order of the interior sections of the Earth?

• Mantle, Outer Core, Inner Core, Crust

• Crust, Mantle, Outer Core, Inner Core

• Outer Core, Inner Core, Mantle, Crust

• Inner Core, Crust, Mantle, Outer Core

What are Convection Currents?

• The movement of heat through the Mantle

• The movement of heat through the Outer Core

• The movement of heat through the Crust

• The movement of heat through the Interior of the Earth

The Earth's crustal plate move because ...

• The Earth's Gravity drag the plates together, apart, against one another

• The Gravity of the Moon drag the plates together, apart, against one another

• Convection currents in the mantle drag the plates together, apart, against one another

• The Magnetism of the Earth's Core drag the plates together, apart, against one another

Subduction is ....

• Where oceanic crust is drawn down beneath continental crust by convection currents

• Where continental crust is bent and mountains are formed

• When a volcano is formed by rising magma

• They process which forms earthquakes

In which type of plate boundary do the tectonic plates move apart?

• conservative

• constructive

• destructive

Which type of plate boundary involves one piece of oceanic crust sliding under a piece of continental crust

• conservative

• constructive

• destructive
