  • Q1
    divergent
    boundary where two plates are separating from each other
    30s
  • Q2
    transform boundary
    plate boundary where two plates slide past each other
    60s
  • Q3
    See image
    convergent boundary where two plates are colliding into each other
    30s
  • Q4
    mountain
    This feature is found along converging continent-continent plate boundaries
    30s
  • Q5
    subduction
    This process occurs at a convergent plate boundary between ocean and continental crust or ocean and ocean crust
    30s
  • Q6
    volcano
    This feature is found along converging boundaries where subduction is occurring
    30s
  • Q7
    earthquakes
    These events occur along ALL types of plate boundaries
    30s
  • Q8
    trench
    This feature is at convergent subduction zones where oceanic crust is forced into the asthenosphere(mantle).
    30s
  • Q9
    ring of fire
    This is the name for all the volcanoes located around the Pacific Ocean. The red line shows the volcanoes around the Pacific Ocean.
    30s
  • Q10
    subduction
    The large number of volcanoes shown around the Pacific ocean is due to what process occurring along the trenches here?
    30s
  • Q11
    convergent
    What type of plate boundary collides?
    30s
  • Q12
    volcano
    What feature forms along the continent at this Convergent plate boundary undergoing subduction? (mountain or volcano?)
    30s
  • Q13
    more dense
    At this plate boundary the oceanic crust is subducting because it is (more dense/less dense) than the continental crust?
    30s
  • Q14
    transform
    What type of plate boundary slides?
    30s
  • Q15
    earthquakes
    What event occurs along this type of transform boundary? (eruptions or earthquakes)
    30s
