Geological Processes Stemscopes

Two plate s collide with each other at 

• A divergent boundary
• A convergent boundary
• The boundary between the mantle and the crust
• a transform boundary

The process that powers plate tectonics is 

• radiation
• convection
• conduction
• subduction

The lithosphere is broken in separate sections called ________________

• plates
• faults
• rift valley
• plate boundary

When two plates grind past the other a _________________ boundary is formed

• divergent
• convergent
• transform
• rift valley

Which is true about hotter material in the mantle?

• more dense, sinks
• less dense, sinks
• less dense, rises
• more dense, rises

During sea floor spreading, molten material rises up from the mantle...

• along the continents
• at the mid ocean ridges
• deep ocean trenches
• at north and south poles

This land formation occurs at a divergent continental/ continental boundary.

• mid ocean ridge
• deep ocean trench
• pacific hot spot
• rift valley

Volcanoes commonly happen around this type of plate boundary.

• Convergent
• Divergent
• Transform
• Transperpendicular

The mid-ocean ridge is located at this type of plate boundary.

• Convergent
• Divergent
• Transform
• Transperpendicular

• Conversion
• Sedimentary Rock
• Subduction
• Transversion
