Day 29 Plate Tectonics Science TEST

Plate Tectonics is?

• The movement of the Oceans

• A scientific theory that describes the large-scale motions of Earth's lithosphere

• The movement of underground minerals

Tectonic Plates are composed of?

• Tectonic plates are composed of earth, the ocean, and the continents

• Tectonic plates are composed of sediment, lava, and the earth's crust

• Tectonic plates are composed of oceanic lithosphere and thicker continental lithosphere, each topped by its own kind of crust

The three types of plate boundaries are?

• convergent, divergent, and transform

• convergent, reversal, and transform

• transform, reversal, and contingent

• reversal, plate, and contingent

Driving forces behind plate movement includes?

• Gravity

• Earth's rotation

• Mantle dynamics

• All of the above

Draw and label what a convergent boundary looks like. Then draw something that can form at a convergent boundary. Label the parts of the drawing to make things clear.

Draw and label what a divergent boundary looks like. Then draw something that can form at a divergent boundary. Label the parts of the drawing to make things clear.

Draw and label what a transform boundary looks like. Then draw something that can form or happen at a transform boundary. Label the parts of the drawing to make things clear.

The type of boundary that consists of the Pacific plate and the North American plate and is apart of the Ring of Fire.

• divergent

• convergent

• transform

The name of the transform boundary/fault that goes down the middle of California.

New crust is formed at this type of boundary

• divergent

• convergent

• transform
