4/1/25 Plate Boundary TCAP Review

A divergent plate boundary is

• A location where tectonic plates collide, causing earthquakes.
• A region where tectonic plates remain stationary and do not interact.
• An area where tectonic plates slide past each other without creating new crust.
• A location where tectonic plates move apart, creating new crust.

A convergent plate boundary is

• A convergent plate boundary is where tectonic plates slide past each other.
• A convergent plate boundary is where two tectonic plates collide.
• A convergent plate boundary is where tectonic plates float on magma.
• A convergent plate boundary is where two tectonic plates move apart.

A transform boundary is

• A transform boundary is where tectonic plates collide.
• A transform boundary is a type of volcanic boundary.
• A transform boundary is where tectonic plates slide past each other.
• A transform boundary is where tectonic plates move away from each other.

The hotspot at the equator means

• The location of the Earth's magnetic poles at the equator.
• The region of minimum solar radiation and heat at the equator.
• A cold area with low temperatures near the equator.
• The region of maximum solar radiation and heat at the equator.
