The image shows a plate boundary. Arrows have been added to indicate the movement of the plates.What plate boundary feature is also shown?

Which of these events can ONLY happen on a DIVERGENT BOUNDARY?

• Rift Valley

• Mountain

• A peninsula

• An Insanely complex, long answer that you will click out of instinct.

The diagram shows a model of the movement of two tectonic plates. When the plates collide, on plate often moves below the other plate. The rising magma that can result from this type of plate movement may produce-

• fossil layers

• volcanic islands

• deep-sea sediment

• seafloor spreading

Which of the following causes Earth's tectonic plates to move?

• Magnetic Pole Reversal

• Convection currents in the mantle

• Faults in Mountain Ranges

According to the theory of continental drift, why do the coastlines of Africa and South America appear to fit together so well?

• Africa and South America used to be joined together, but split apart long ago.

• Africa and South America are drifting towards each other and will soon fit together perfectly.

• Ocean currents on either side of the Atlantic have eroded the coastlines into the same shape.

• The theory does not explain why the coastlines seem to match.
