Transform Tectonic Plate Boundary Quiz

What is the primary movement observed at a transform tectonic plate boundary?

• Plates remain stationary

• Plates slide past each other

• Plates move away from each other

• Plates move towards each other

During the simulation, what geological event is observed as the plates move?

• Creation of new oceanic crust

• Formation of mountains

• Earthquakes

• Volcanic eruptions

What happens to the riverbed on the left during the simulation?

• It is abandoned

• It dries up completely

• It becomes deeper

• It merges with another river

Which of the following is NOT caused by mantle convection?

• Movement of transform fault boundaries

• Movement of convergent boundaries

• Movement of divergent boundaries

• Formation of oceanic trenches

How does mantle convection affect convergent boundaries?

• It causes plates to move away from each other

• It causes plates to slide past each other

• It has no effect on convergent boundaries

• It causes plates to move towards each other
