What is the name of the original Super-Continent that all others spawned from?

• Uberamurika

• Cretaceous

Which type of crust is the densest?

• Continental

• Volcanic

• Oceanic

• Magmatic

• Stuffed

This type of plate boundary is caused by the collision of two plates:

• Divergent

• Convergent

• Transform

• Metamorphic

Transform boundaries are created when

• two plates slide along each other in opposite directions

• a denser plate is subducted into mantle and turned into magma

• a mid-ocean ridge meets a deep-sea fault

• two plates of the same density collide
