Plate Tectonic Movements

What is plate tectonics?

• The movement of Earth's crust caused by intense heat

• The process of generating new crust at divergent boundaries

• The study of earthquakes and volcanic eruptions

• The slow-motion movement of tectonic plates

How is the earth's surface affected by the movement of the tectonic plates?

• It causes the formation of new mountains

• It leads to the destruction of existing landmasses

• It results in the creation of new ocean basins

• It causes earthquakes and volcanic eruptions

Where do most movements happen in the Earth's crust?

• At divergent boundaries

• At convergent boundaries

• At transform boundaries

• At mid-ocean ridges

What are three types of plate boundaries?

• Divergent, convergent, and transform

• Oceanic, continental, and subduction

• Rift valleys, trenches, and fault lines

• Mid-ocean ridges, volcanoes, and mountains
