worksheet no2 Flashcards
Mountains, like the Himalayas, are created by divergent boundaries.
convergent
Oceanic ridges, like the Mid-Atlantic Ridge, are formed at divergent boundaries.
true
Transform boundaries often result in the formation of large mountain ranges.
Earthquakes
The San Andreas Fault in California is an example of a convergent boundary.
transform
Transform boundaries are characterized by plates moving past each other horizontally.
true
Divergent boundaries occur where two tectonic plates move away from each other.
True
Earthquakes are common along transform boundaries due to the sliding motion of the plates.
True
Convergent boundaries are formed when two tectonic plates collide or move towards each other.
true
Subduction zones are found at divergent boundaries where one plate is forced beneath another.
convergent
Volcanic arcs can form at convergent boundaries where an oceanic plate subducts beneath a continental plate.
