Test Description: Identifying which landforms go with which boundaries.
Instructions: Answer all questions to get your test result.
1) The African plate is pulling apart to create two smaller plates at the East African Rift. In the future, a new ocean will form at this rift.
A
Continental Convergent Plate
B
Oceanic Divergent Plate
C
Oceanic Convergent Plate
D
Continental Divergent Plate
2) Along the coast of California, there is a plate boundary between the North American and the Pacific Plate and a fault line called the San Andreas Fault causes many Earthquakes. What type of boundary is it?.
A
Transform
B
Subduction
C
Divergent
D
Convergent
3) As the Nazca plate subducts beneath the South American plate, crust is destroyed and magma can rise to the surface to create volcanic mountain ranges. What type of plate boundary is it?
A
Divergent
B
Convergent Oceanic/Oceanic
C
Convergent Oceanic/Continental
D
Convergent Continental/Continental
4) There is a great rift valley below the ice sheets in Antarctica that is splitting the continent into East and West Antarctica. What type of boundary is it?
A
Divergent Oceanic/Oceanic
B
Divergent Continental/Continental
C
Convergent Oceanic/Oceanic
D
Convergent Continental/Continental
5) After Pangea broke up, the continent of India slowly moved toward and eventually collided with Asia. The sea floor between them was compressed and folded upward to make the Himalayan Mountain Range. What type of boundary is it?
A
Convergent Continental/Continental
B
Convergent Continental/Oceanic
C
Convergent Oceanic/Oceanic
D
Divergent Oceanic/Oceanic
6) The denser Juan de Fuca plate subducts below the North American plate creating a trench off the coast Northwest of the United States and volcanoes like Mt. Saint Helen's and Mt. Rainier. What type of boundary is it?
A
Convergent Continental/Continetal
B
Convergent Continental/Oceanic
C
Divergent Continental/Oceanic
D
Convergent Oceanic/Oceanic
7) The East Pacific Rise separates the Pacific Plate from the Nazca, Cocos, and Antarctic plates. A mid-ocean ridge formed at the East Pacific Rise. What type of boundary is it?

Divergent Oceanic/Oceanic
B
Convergent Oceanic/Oceanic
C
Convergent Continental/Oceanic
D
Convergent Continental/Continental
8) After Pangea split apart, Eurasian Plate and the Africa Plate moved toward each other uplifting the ancient Tethys Sea to create the Alps in southern Europe. What type of boundary is it?
A
Divergent Continental/Continental
B
Convergent Continental/Continental
C
Divergent Continental/Oceanic
D
Convergent Continental/Oceanic

Convergent Continental/Continental
C
Divergent Oceanic/Oceanic
D
Convergent Oceanic/Oceanic
10) The Marianas Trench is the deepest point on Earth's Surface. Where the Pacific Plate subducts below the Mariana Plate, this trench formed as well as an island arc. What type of boundary is it?
A
Divergent Continental/Continental
B
Convergent Oceanic/Oceanic
C
Divergent Oceanic/Oceanic
D
Convergent Continental/Continental
