do not form on either plate
C
form on both plates
D
on the plate that is subducted
3) Which is not associated with orogeny at convergent boundaries?

highly folded and faulted ranges
4) Which causes difference in elevation on Earth?
A
seamounts and hotspots

A
oceanic crust, mantle, continental crust
B
mantle, oceanic crust, continental crust
C
continental crust, oceanic crust, mantle
D
oceanic crust, continental crust, mantle
6) At which type of plate boundary do the highest mountains form?

divergent; oceanic-continental
B
divergent; oceanic-oceanic
C
convergent; continental-oceanic
D
convergent; continental-continental
7) What is the approximate percentage of Earth's surface that is covered by continents?
