Pacific Plate South America Plate North American Plate Nazca Plate African Plate
18
What type of boundary is found between the African and North American plates?
Divergent Convergent Transform
19
What would you expect to find all around the Philippine Plate?
Rifts Trenches Folded mountains Transform faults Mid-ocean ridges
20
What term describes when one plate goes under another plate, as in the diagram below?
Divergent boundary Transform boundary Subduction zone Mid-ocean ridge Rifting
21
What type of crust always goes “down” into the mantle? Why?
Oceanic crust because it’s denser Oceanic crust because it’s less dense Continental crust because it’s denser Continental crust because it’s less dense
22
What two features should you expect to find whenever one plate goes under another plate?
Volcanoes and mid-ocean ridges Trenches and mid-ocean ridges Mid-ocean ridges and abyssal plains Volcanoes and a trench
23
Which of the following would NOT apply to a mid-ocean ridge?
Divergent boundary Crust is destroyed New crust is made Site of sea-floor spreading
24
You would expect to find the youngest oceanic crust…
Near mid-ocean ridges Farther away from mid-ocean ridges Near subduction zones Next to beaches
25
Which of the following is found along a transform boundary?
Andes Mountains Himalaya Mountains San Andreas Fault Mid-Atlantic Ridge
26
Which of the following occurs at a transform boundary?
Fracturing of the crust Formation of new crust Recycling of crust Subduction
27
Which of the following is NOT being depicted in the diagram?
Subduction zone Rifting Seafloor spreading Magnetic patterns on the ocean floor
28
What type of boundary exists between the Indian Plate and the Eurasian plate?
Divergent Convergent Transform Not enough info
29
What volcano formed on the overriding plate of the Java Trench?
Mt. Pinatubo Krakatoa Mt. St. Helens Mt. Mayon
30
What type of boundary is responsible for creating the Pacific Ring of Fire?
Divergent Convergent Transform An equal combination of all three types of boundaries
31
Which statement is accurate about the Himalayan Mountains?
They are folded mountains. They are volcanic mountains. They formed due to rifting. They formed as a result of subduction. They are decreasing in elevation each year due to erosion.
32
What is the only boundary where crust is neither created nor destroyed?
Convergent Divergent Transform
