Lithosphere Unit Test

The diagram below shows a model of the movement of two tectonic plates.  When the plates collide, one plate often moves below the other plate.  The rising magma that can result from this type of plate movement may produce – 

• Seafloor spreading

• Deep-sea sediment

• Volcanic islands

• Fossil layers

Soil is made of

• weathered rocks and minerals

• dead plants and animals

• air and water

• all of the above
