Plate Boundary

Question 1

move away from each other

Answer 1

divergent (constructive)

Question 2

how to call the distance of land caused by diversion

Answer 2

space gap

Question 3

process of divergent boundary

Answer 3

earthquakes -> magma rises from mantle to surface -> solidifying to create new oceanic crust

Question 4

divergent boundary causes the ocean floor to be

Answer 4

wider

Question 5

two types of divergent boundaries

Answer 5

Continental crust - continental crust
Oceanic crust - Oceanic crust

Question 6

Continental - continental divergent process

Answer 6

crust heats -> broad area is uplifted and thins -> normal faults and rift valley is formed -> new oceanic crust and ocean are formed -> crust being thinned by erosion cools and sinks beneath the sea

Question 7

lowland region that forms where Earth’s tectonic plates move apart, or rift

Answer 7

rift valley

Question 8

form when magma rises into the gap between divergin plates

Answer 8

rift volcanoes

Question 9

ocean floor becomes wider due to

Answer 9

seafloor soreading

Question 10

oceanic crust splits apart at the bottom of the sea due to

Answer 10

volcanic eruptions

Question 11

the process that continually adds new material to the ocean floor while pushing older rocks away from the ridge

Answer 11

sea floor spreading

Question 12

who introduced sea floor spreading

Answer 12

Harry Hess in the 1960s

Question 13

process of oceanic - oceanic divergence

Answer 13

convection current -> lithosphere stretch es -> cracks and mid-ocean ridge -> magma rises -> lava sodifies creating new crust and seafloor becomes wider

Question 14

the newest and youngest crust is found

Answer 14

nearest to the crack

Question 15

underwater mountain range

Answer 15

mid-ocean ridge

Question 16

two plates push into each other

Answer 16

convergent (destructive)

Question 17

a process when one of the two plates is descending beneath the other

Answer 17

subduction

Question 18

what develops near the convergent plate boundary when subduction occur?

Answer 18

volcano

Question 19

what goes under in o-o convergence

Answer 19

older, denser plate

Question 20

subduction happens in

Answer 20

o-c and o-o convergence

Question 21

When two continental plates converge, they cannot submerge into the mantle due to their composition

Answer 21

c-c convergence (collision)

Question 22

which goes under during o-c convergence

Answer 22

oceanic crust is always denser

Question 23

two plates slide past each other horizontally

plates move alongside each other, in the opposite direction or in the same direction at different speeds

Answer 23

transform (conservative)
