Tectonic Plates & Events

What event will most likely occur at a divergent plate boundary?

• The plates will form a mountain chain.

• One plate will subduct under the other.

• The plates will form an ocean basin.

• A fault line will form and earthquakes will result.

When two tectonic plates converge, the land above sea level in this area often generates –

• mountain ranges.

• landslides.

• hurricanes.

• tsunamis.
