Plate Boundaries Quiz

What are the three types of plate boundaries?

• convergent boundaries, divergent boundaries, and transform boundaries

• oceanic boundaries, continental boundaries, and strike-slip boundaries

• collision boundaries, rift boundaries, and shear boundaries

• subduction boundaries, spreading boundaries, and fault boundaries

Which type of plate boundary occurs when two plates move towards each other?

• convergent

• subduction

• transform

• divergent

What happens when two plates collide at a convergent boundary?

• The plates will remain stationary and no movement will occur.

• The plates will slide past each other horizontally.

• The plates will separate and move away from each other.

• The plates can either subduct or buckle, depending on the type of crust involved.

Which type of plate boundary occurs when two plates move away from each other?

• Convergent plate boundary

• Subduction plate boundary

• Transform plate boundary

• Divergent plate boundary

What happens when two plates separate at a divergent boundary?

• The plates collide and form mountains.

• The plates slide past each other horizontally.

• The plates sink beneath each other and form a subduction zone.

• New crust is formed through seafloor spreading.

Which type of plate boundary occurs when two plates slide past each other horizontally?

• Convergent plate boundary

• Subduction plate boundary

• Divergent plate boundary

• Transform plate boundary

What happens when two plates slide past each other at a transform boundary?

• Mountain formation and erosion.

• Fault line and earthquakes

• Oceanic crust formation and subduction.

• Volcanic eruptions and tsunamis.

What landforms are commonly formed at convergent boundaries?

• Canyons, deserts, and lakes.

• Plains, plateaus, and valleys.

• Mountains, volcanic arcs, and trenches

• Islands, peninsulas, and deltas.

What landforms are commonly formed at divergent boundaries?

• mountain ranges, trenches, and earthquakes.

• rift valleys, mid-ocean ridges, and volcanic activity

• canyons, plateaus, and tsunamis.

• deserts, plains, and glaciers.

What landforms are commonly formed at transform boundaries?

• Fault lines

• Mountains

• Canyons

• Volcanoes
