The theory of plate tectonics

What are the types of plate interaction?

• Divergent Boundaries Convergent Plate Boundaries

• Divergent Boundaries Convection Plate Boundaries

  Transform Plate Boundaries

• Divergent Plate Boundaries Convergent Plate Boundaries

  Transform Plate Boundaries

• There are no types of plate interaction

Why is the term recycling an excellent description of plate tectonics?

• None of the above

• It is because large continental plates continuously move, and the top layers of the Earth are recycled into the mantle.

• Because we recycle garbage

• Because plate tectonics conserve energy, reduces air and water pollution, reduce greenhouse gases, and conserve natural resources

What happens during Divergent Plate Boundaries?

What happens during Convergent Plate Boundaries?

What happens during Transform Plate Boundaries?

Plate tectonics results in ______

• Mountain-building

• Earthquake

• Volcanism

• All of the above

What is the theory of plate tectonics?

• It is how we can stop plate tectonics motion.

• It explains how major landforms are created as a result of Earth's subterranean movements.

• There is no theory of tectonic plates because our land on earth doesn't move.

How much does the lithosphere move per year?

• 5cm/year

• 12cm/year

• 2cm/year

• 43cm/year

State true or false: There are no dynamic tectonic plates found in earth’s crust.

• True

• False

Do plate tectonics move slow or quick and what are they driven by.

• None of the above

• Earth’s lithospheric plates move quick relative to each other, driven by nothing in the mantle.

• Earth’s lithospheric plates move quick relative to each other, driven by convection currents in the mantle.

• Earth’s lithospheric plates move slowly relative to each other, driven by convection currents in the mantle.
