Plate boundaries

Question 1

Chain of volcanoes that develop parallel to the trench

Answer 1

Volcanic island arc

Question 2

a break or a fracture in the earth’s crust

Answer 2

Fault

Question 3

Consequences: Volcanoes, Trench
Oceanic will subduct
Examples:
Chile Trench and Andes Mountain

Answer 3

Oceanic - Continental

Question 4

force exerted in a certain area

Answer 4

Stress

Question 5

Destructive: melting or destroying of the lithosphere

Answer 5

Convergent

Question 6

due to underwater disturbance

Answer 6

tsunami

Question 7

Types of Convergent Plate Boundary

Answer 7

Oceanic-Continental
Ocean-ocean
Continental-continental

Question 8

What process is called when 2 tectonic plates collide towards each other, one plate eventually slides beneath the other.

Answer 8

Subduction

Question 9

The himalayan mountain range of India was formed at the _____

Answer 9

Convergent boundary

Question 10

Constructive: Creation of a new atmosphere due to the rising and cooling of hot mantle
Consequence: Mid-Ocean ridges, Rift valleys

Answer 10

Divergent

Question 11

The East African Rift is an example of a _____

Answer 11

Rift Valley

Question 12

Convergent
stress: ?
fault: ?

Answer 12

Stress: Compression, Fault: Reverse

Question 13

One plate is oceanic, there are large volcanoes found in lines that outline the subduction zone. Earthquakes also happen in these zones.

Answer 13

Oceanic-continental

Question 14

When two plates collide, they have a density lower than the mantle which prevent subduction (submersion of plates under each other) so they create mountains.

Answer 14

Continental-continental

Question 15

Consequence : Earthquakes and Active fault lines
Shallow Earthquakes = less than 70km
Deep Earthquakes = more than 70km
Conservative: Nothing is created nor destroyed
Horizontal

Answer 15

Transform Fault

Question 16

One of the plates (oceanic crust and Lithospheric mantle) is pushed, or subducted, under the other that mixes with the overlying mantle, and the addition of water to the hot mantle lowers the crust’s melting point that leads to the formation of magma.

Answer 16

Ocean-ocean

Question 17

Seafloor spreading is located at

Answer 17

Divergent plate boundary

Question 18

Transform Fault/ Transform Boundary
stress: ?
fault: ?

Answer 18

Stress: Shear, Fault: Strike-slip

Question 19

Consequences : Tsunamis, Trenches
Older plate will be the one to subduct
Examples:
Mariana Trench

Answer 19

oceanic-oceanic

Question 20

Types of plate boundaries

Answer 20

Transform
Convergent
Divergent

Question 21

Consequences: Mountain, Mountain Ranges
No Subduction Occurs
Crust Buckles upward
Example:
Himalayas

Answer 21

Continental- Continental

Question 22

depression in the seafloor produced by the subduction process

Answer 22

Trench

Question 23

An example of transform fault boundary

Answer 23

San Andreas Fault

Question 24

Divergent
stress: ?
fault: ?

Answer 24

Stress: Tension, Fault: Normal
