7.3 Plate Boundaries

What are the three main types of plate boundaries?

• Mountain boundaries, valley boundaries, and canyon boundaries

• Subduction boundaries, collision boundaries, and sliding boundaries

• Divergent boundaries, convergent boundaries, and transform boundaries

• Oceanic boundaries, continental boundaries, and island boundaries

What type of plate boundary is characterized by plates moving away from each other?

• Transform plate boundary

• Divergent plate boundary

• Subduction plate boundary

• Convergent plate boundary

What type of plate boundary is characterized by plates moving towards each other?

• Divergent plate boundary

• Convergent plate boundary

• Transform plate boundary

• Subduction plate boundary

What type of plate boundary is characterized by plates sliding past each other horizontally?

• Transform boundary

• Subduction boundary

• Divergent boundary

• Convergent boundary

What is the name of the boundary where two plates move towards each other and one is forced beneath the other?

• Subduction zone

• Collision zone

• Transform boundary

• Divergent zone

What is the name of the boundary where two plates move away from each other and new crust is formed?

• Transform boundary

• Convergent boundary

• Subduction boundary

• Divergent boundary

What is the name of the boundary where two plates slide past each other in opposite directions?

• transform boundary

• collision boundary

• convergent boundary

• divergent boundary

What are the geological features associated with divergent plate boundaries?

• Canyons, fjords, and sand dunes

• Mountain ranges, deserts, and glaciers

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

• Tropical rainforests, coral reefs, and lakes

How do plate boundaries contribute to the movement of the Earth's lithosphere?

• Through processes such as subduction, seafloor spreading, and transform faults.

• By creating new ocean basins

• By causing earthquakes

• Through volcanic eruptions
