Plate Boundaries Part 2

What type of plate boundary is also known as a divergent boundary?

• Destructive

• Conservative

• Collision

• Constructive

Where do divergent plate boundaries mostly appear?

• In mountain ranges

• At the bottom of the sea

• On land

• In deserts

What type of hazards can be found at divergent plate boundaries?

• Floods and landslides

• Volcanoes and powerful earthquakes

• Tornadoes and hurricanes

• Droughts and wildfires

What happens when an oceanic plate is forced underneath a continental plate at a convergent boundary?

• The continental plate sinks into the mantle

• The oceanic plate sinks into the mantle

• The two plates move apart

• The oceanic plate slides over the continental plate

What type of plate boundary is responsible for the formation of the Himalayas mountain range?

• Constructive

• Destructive

• Conservative

• Collision

What type of hazards can be found at collision plate boundaries?

• Tornadoes and hurricanes

• Volcanic eruptions and powerful earthquakes

• Floods and droughts

• Mountain formation and landslides

What type of plate boundary is also known as a transform boundary?

• Destructive

• Constructive

• Collision

• Conservative

What type of hazards can be found at conservative plate boundaries?

• Floods and droughts

• Volcanoes and powerful earthquakes

• Tornadoes and hurricanes

• Mountain formation and landslides

What causes earthquakes at conservative plate boundaries?

• Magma rising up from underneath the crust

• The plates grinding past each other and getting stuck

• The plates moving apart and creating new crust

• The plates colliding and crumpling upwards

What type of plate boundary is responsible for the formation of new crust?

• Constructive

• Collision

• Destructive

• Conservative
