Iceland is found at what type of plate boundary? Divergent Convergent Transform Strike-slip

What is found at this marker? Mid-ocean ridge Transform fault Volcanic mountains Rift Prancing zebras

Martinique and other volcanic islands in the Eastern Caribbean were formed due to what? Oceanic/oceanic convergence Oceanic/continental convergence Continental/Continental convergence Rifting

What body of water is this? Lake Erie Lake Baikal Red Sea Lake Victoria Mediterranean Sea

The Appalachian Mountains were formed at what type of ancient boundary? Oceanic/continental convergence Continental/continental convergence Oceanic/oceanic divergence Continental/continental divergence Transform

What is occurring at this marker? Oceanic/oceanic divergence Oceanic/oceanic convergence Subduction Recycling of oceanic crust

Which statement is accurate about this location? Folded mountains Rifting Frequent shallow earthquakes Volcanic mountains

What mountain range is found here? Andes Cascades Himalayas Appalachians Alps

What are we looking at? Caldera Mid-ocean ridge Flood Plain Folded mountain Trench

What mountain range is found here? Andes Rockies Appalachians Alps Himalayas

What is found here? San Andreas Fault Alpine Fault Marianas Trench Andes Mountains Aleutian Trench

The deepest trench in the world is found here. What is its name? Aleutian Trench Marianas Trench Peru-Chile Trench Tonga Trench

In what layer are convection currents found? Inner core Outer core Mantle Crust

How fast do convection currents move? 2-10 mm per year 2-10 cm per year 2-10 m per year 2-10 km per year

What process would have been responsible for the splitting of Pangaea? Subduction Oceanic/oceanic convergence Rifting and sea floor spreading Transform faults

What plate subducted to form the Peru-Chile Trench? Pacific Plate South America Plate North American Plate Nazca Plate African Plate

What type of boundary is found between the African and North American plates? Divergent Convergent Transform

What would you expect to find all around the Philippine Plate? Rifts Trenches Folded mountains Transform faults Mid-ocean ridges

What term describes when one plate goes under another plate, as in the diagram below? Divergent boundary Transform boundary Subduction zone Mid-ocean ridge Rifting

What type of crust always goes “down” into the mantle? Why? Oceanic crust because it’s denser Oceanic crust because it’s less dense Continental crust because it’s denser Continental crust because it’s less dense

What two features should you expect to find whenever one plate goes under another plate? Volcanoes and mid-ocean ridges Trenches and mid-ocean ridges Mid-ocean ridges and abyssal plains Volcanoes and a trench

Which of the following would NOT apply to a mid-ocean ridge? Divergent boundary Crust is destroyed New crust is made Site of sea-floor spreading

You would expect to find the youngest oceanic crust… Near mid-ocean ridges Farther away from mid-ocean ridges Near subduction zones Next to beaches
