PLATE BOUNDARIES

Question 1

Most active Volcanoes around the world are located ________ . It is where the subduction or sinking process occur

Answer 1

near the plate boundaries.

Question 2

________ - A series of mountains or hills ranged in a line and connected by high ground. (Example: Sierra Madre)

Answer 2

Mountain Range

Question 3

_________ a series of mountain ranges with similarity in structure (Example: Appalachians Mt. in N. America)

Answer 3

Mountain Belt -

Question 4

A ________ is formed due to the oozing up of materials along divergent plate boundary.

Answer 4

mid ocean ridge

Question 5

Mountain ranges and oceanic ridges are both located ______

Answer 5

near the plate boundary

Question 6

Most earthquake epicenters are located near the plate boundary where most crustal movements are felt. They are highly concentrated in a region called as the _________ where Philippines is also situated.

Answer 6

“pacific ring of fire”

Question 7

• hotter part will rise while the colder part sinks (uneven heating)
• An area within the fluid where warm material is rising in the center and cold materials is sinking at the edges
  If the material is less dense, it will rise. If the material is denser it will sink

Answer 7

Convection Cell

Question 8

________ move due to the convection of the mantle. (the lithospheric plate is not a one big plate, there are plate boundaries that exist)

Answer 8

Lithospheric plates

Question 9

A ________ is where two or more plates meet.

Answer 9

plate boundary

Question 10

is formed when two plates move away from each other.

Answer 10

DIVERGENT PLATE BOUNDARY

Question 11

When two plates move away from each
other, it can form:

Answer 11

❏ New ocean floor
❏ mid -oceanic ridges
❏ Rift valleys

Question 12

occurs when two plates move toward each other and form either a subduction zone or an orogenic belt.

Answer 12

CONVERGENT PLATE BOUNDARY

Question 13

if one plate moves underneath the other.

Answer 13

SUBDUCTION ZONE

Question 14

If the two plates simply collide or compress. A region of deformed rocks.

Answer 14

OROGENIC BELT

Question 15

three kinds of convergence:

Answer 15

❖Oceanic-oceanic collision
❖Oceanic-continental collision
❖Continental-continental collision

Question 16

VOLCANIC ISLAND,TRENCH and UNDERWATER VOLCANOES are formed.

Answer 16

oceanic-oceanic collision,

Question 17

In an _________ subduction, the oceanic plate goes down. As the denser oceanic plate subducts beneath the continental plate and descents into the mantle, the temperature increases causing the rocks to melt and form magma.

Answer 17

oceanic-continental

Question 18

VOLCANIC MOUNTAINS, VOLCANOES and TRENCHES are formed.

Answer 18

oceanic-continental collision,

Question 19

When two continental plates collide, no subduction happens. Instead the continents unite themselves. The continental crust buckles and rocks pile up, creating

Answer 19

Continental-Continental Collision

Question 20

The plates slide against one another in opposite directions. No mountains or volcanoes are produced. Instead, EARTHQUAKES result from the movement of
plates.

Answer 20

Transform Plate Boundary
