Plate Boundaries Review
Test Description: Use this game to review your plate tectonics notes.
Instructions: Answer all questions to get your test result.
1) Tectonic plates are pieces of broken lithosphere. What is lithosphere?
A
It is another name for Earth's crust.
B
It is a layer of plastic rock beneath Earth's crust called the asthenosphere.
C
It is a layer of rock and soil between Earth's outer and inner cores.
D
It is Earth's crust plus the rigid part of the upper mantle.
2) Why do tectonic plates move?
A
Earth's rotation on its axis causes tectonic plates to drift eastward over time.
B
Convection currents turning in the mantle push tectonic plates in different directions.
C
Winds blowing from the equator towards the poles push tectonic plates in different directions.
D
Earthquakes push tectonic plates in different directions.

A
convergent
B
divergent
C
seismic
D
transform
15) Convection currents turning in the mantle cause the movement of tectonic plates. How does convection in the mantle move?
A
Gravity pulls magma in Earth's core up towards Earth's mantle.
B
Hot material rises, cools, then sinks.....and repeats.
C
Gravity pulls magma in Earth's mantle down towards Earth's core.
D
Cool material rises, warms, then sinks.....and repeats.
