• fault line

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

• folded mountains

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

• relatively young rocks

• very ancient rocks.

• reverse fault

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?
