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
Subduction Plates
B
Tectonic Plates
C
Volcanic Plates
D
Dinner Plates
2) Major geological events that occur when a dense plate subducts below a less dense plate as they converge
A
Earthquakes
B
Subduction
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
Divergent
B
Earthquakes
C
Convergent
D
Subduction
4) Major geological events that occur when plates shift suddenly and release stored energy; a frequent occurrence at transform boundaries
A
Divergent Boundaries
B
Transform Boundaries
C
Earthquakes
D
Volcanic Eruptions
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
Plate Tectonics
B
Ocean Basins
C
Divergent Boundary
D
Convergent Boundary
6) Theory that the lithosphere is divided into tectonic plates that slowly move on top of the asthenosphere
A
Crust
B
Sea Floor Spreading Evidence
C
Plate Tectonics
D
Alfred Wegener
7) Process in which the ocean floor is extended when two plates move apart.
A
Sea Floor Spreading Evidence
B
Ocean Basin
C
Sea 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
Convergent Boundary
B
Mountain Building
C
Divergent 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
Volcanic Eruptions
C
Convergent Boundary
D
Ocean Basin
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
Oceanic Plate
B
Dinner Plate
C
Continental Plate
D
Transform Boundary
