WHAT I KNOW:

1. What type of plate boundary is shown in the illustration on the right?
A. African boundary
B. Divergent boundary
C. Convergent boundary
D. Transform boundary

2. Which BEST describes the divergent plate boundary?
A. The plates in divergent boundaries move towards each other.
B. The plates in the divergent boundary are moving away from each other.
C. The new crust is destroyed during diverging of plates because the magma is flowing out melting its materials.
D. The old crust is deformed resulting in the formation of mountains.

3. Why does the basaltic oceanic crust always subduct beneath the granitic continental crust?
A. moving while the granite-type is stationary. B. cooling faster due to the water on its surface.
C. denser than the continental crust.
D. less dense than the continental crust.

4. Which differentiates a divergent plate boundary from a convergent plate boundary? A. The divergent plate boundary is creating new crust while convergent plate boundary is melting the old crust.
B. The divergent boundary creates islands due to the collision of plates while the convergent plate boundary creates trenches.
C. The divergent plate boundary and convergent plate boundary are both destroying the old part of the crust and replace the crust with new layers of igneous rocks.
D. The divergent boundary and convergent boundary are both causing the plates to move apart.

5. The North American plate has a chain of volcanoes on its edge near the Pacific plate. What type of plate boundary can be deduced from this geologic feature?
A. The two plates have convergent boundaries.
B. Both plates have transform boundaries.
C. The North American plate has a divergent boundary while the Pacific plate has convergent.
D. Cannot be determined

6. What is the basis for classifying the plate boundaries?
A. Movement
C. Materials
B. Location
D. Formation of Earth’s structure

7. How many lithospheric plates are interacting on the map?
A. 2
B. 3
C. 4
D. 5

8. What type of plate boundary can be observed between Farallon and Pacific plates? A. Divergent
B. Transform
C. Convergent
D. Compression

9. The mid-ocean ridge is formed between Pacific Plate and Farallon Plate. What type of stress is accumulated in the rock layers that lead to the formation of the ridges?
A. Tension
C. Shearing
B. Compression
D. Slab pull

10. What causes the compression between Farallon and North American plates?
A. The movement of the Farallon Plate towards Pacific Plate.
B. Farallon plate is drifting away from the Pacific plate.
C. Pacific plate is gradually pushing the Farallon plate that results in the compression of the edges of the other plates.
D. North American plate is sinking.

A. Slab pull
B. Drag Force
C. Ridge push
D. Slab resistance

12. Which fuels the movement of the lithospheric plate?
A. Convection current
C. Stress
B. Force
D. Collisional Force

13. What causes the sliding of plates?
