  1. PLATE TECTONICS QUIZ You need your clicker!

  2. Review clip(click on the link above)

  3. Review • Divergent: Boundary between two plates that are moving apart. • Convergent: Boundary between two plates that are pushing together. • Transform (Strike-slip): Boundary between two plates that are sliding past one another. *** Causes Earthquakes • Subduction Zone: The area where one plate pushes down under another. Volcanoes are often created by this.

  4. 1. As two continental plates move toward each other, what landforms would you expect to see? • Volcanoes • Cliffs • New Land • Mountains

  5. 1. As two continental plates move toward each other, what landforms would you expect to see? • Volcanoes Incorrect These form at edges of plates or over hot spots

  6. 1. As two continental plates move toward each other, what landforms would you expect to see? • Cliffs Incorrect These are erosional landforms or minor uplift areas

  7. 1. As two continental plates move toward each other, what landforms would you expect to see? • New Land Incorrect Forms when plates move apart

  8. 1. As two continental plates move toward each other, what landforms would you expect to see? • Mountains – correct - because 2 continental masses will push into each other and “crumple” the edges to form mountains

  9. 2. Where would you find the newest land on Earth? • In areas of continental convergence • In areas where two ocean plates come together • In areas where plates are moving apart • In areas where two plates are sliding past each other

  10. 2. Where would you find the newest land on Earth? • In areas of continental convergence Incorrect Mountains would form here from existing land.

  11. 2. Where would you find the newest land on Earth? • In areas where two ocean plates come together Incorrect You would find trenches in this area.

  12. 2. Where would you find the newest land on Earth? • In areas where two plates are sliding past each other Incorrect You would find land movement but not new land being formed

  13. 2. Where would you find the newest land on Earth? • In areas where plates are moving apart Correct When plates move apart it is due to magma reaching the surface. When magma cools new land is formed.

  14. 3. Texas is located on which tectonic plate? • a. Indian • b. Pacific • c. South American • d. North American

  15. 3. Texas is located on which tectonic plate? • a. Indian • b. Pacific • c. South American • d. North American

  16. 4. What will happen if tectonic plates shift? • a. A volcano will erupt. • b. A landslide will occur. • c. An earthquake will happen. • d. A hole will form in Earth’s surface.

  17. 4. What will happen if tectonic plates shift? • a. A volcano will erupt. • b. A landslide will occur. • c. An earthquake will happen. • d. A hole will form in Earth’s surface.

  18. 5. Earthquakes are more common in California than they are in Texas because of the movement of which two tectonic plates? • a. South American and North American • b. Pacific and South American • c. Eurasian and African • d. North American and Pacific

  19. 5. Earthquakes are more common in California than they are in Texas because of the movement of which two tectonic plates? • a. South American and North American • b. Pacific and South American • c. Eurasian and African • d. North American and Pacific
