Unit 11 Plate Tectonics
Test Description: Vocabulary
Instructions: Answer all questions to get your test result.
1) Huge pieces of lithosphere that slowly move on the asthenosphere, and consist of the crust and the rigid, upper most part ofthe mantle
A
Tectonic Plates
B
Dinner Plates
C
Subduction Plates
D
Volcanic Plates
2) Major geological events that occur when a dense plate subducts below a less dense plate as they converge
A
Subduction
B
Earthquakes
C
Volcanic Eruptions
D
Tectonic Plates
3) Occurs when one plate is denser than another and is forced below as the two plates converge at their boundary
A
Subduction
B
Convergent
C
Divergent
D
Earthquakes
4) Major geological events that occur when plates shift suddenly and release stored energy; a frequent occurrence at transform boundaries
A
Volcanic Eruptions
B
Transform Boundaries
C
Divergent Boundaries
D
Earthquakes
5) Movement of plates create dense oceanic crust that sinks lower in the asthenosphere than the less dense continental crust, resulting in depressions on Earth's surface that fill wi
A
Convergent Boundary
B
Plate Tectonics
C
Divergent Boundary
D
Ocean Basins
6) Theory that the lithosphere is divided into tectonic plates that slowly move on top of the asthenosphere
A
Plate Tectonics
B
Alfred Wegener
C
Sea Floor Spreading Evidence
D
Crust
7) Process in which the ocean floor is extended when two plates move apart.
A
Sea Basin
B
Sea Floor Spreading Evidence
C
Ocean Basin
D
Ocean Floor
8) The boundary between two tectonic plates moving away from each other; on land creates rift valleys, on the sea floor created new ocean crust
A
Mountain Building
B
Divergent Boundary
C
Convergent Boundary
D
Transform Boundary
9) The boundary between two tectonic plates moving toward each other; results in volcanic activity when a denser ocean plate subducts below a continental plate or mountain building
A
Mountain Building
B
Ocean Basin
C
Convergent Boundary
D
Volcanic Eruptions
10) The boundary between two plated that slide pass one another; sudden shifts result in major geological events such as earthquakes and the release of stored energy
A
Continental Plate
B
Transform Boundary
C
Dinner Plate
D
Oceanic Plate
