Plate Tectonics A Path To Victory!
Answer 1 Divergent boundary, 2 oceanic plates, mid-ocean ridge forming!
Answer 2 • Folded mountains form when 2 continental plates converge—collide.
Answer 3 Fault block mountains form when continental plates diverge.
Answer 4 • Rift valley forms when continental plates diverge.
Answer 5 Subduction: When heavier plate dives beneath less dense plate.
Answer 6 • Oceanic plates subduct beneath continental plates or other oceanic (less dense) plates.
Answer 7 • Trench, volcanic mountain
Answer 8 • Mid-ocean ridge volcano!
Answer 9 • Divergent: 2 oceanic plates pulling apart.
10. Where do trenches form? • ??????
Answer 10 • At subduction zones.
Answer 11 • Mid-ocean ridge Subduction
Answer 12 • Convection in the mantle!
14. How does subduction form volcanoes? • ???????
Answer 14. • Subducting plate melts then “bubbles up” to form volcano.
Answer 15 • Aleutian Islands
Answer 16. • Two oceanic plates diverging-mid ocean ridge.
Answer 17. • Iceland! Part of mid-ocean ridge (Atlantic)
Answer 18 • Ring of fire! Subduction zones around the world form this ring.
Answer 19. They get older…they move closer to subduction/trench.
Answer 20. • Rocks formed at ridge record earth’s magnetic field reversal.
21. What will most likely form at boundary of Antarctic plate and Cocos plate?
Answer 21. It’s 2 oceanics diverging, so mid-ocean ridge.
Answer 22. 2 continental plates converging.
Answer 23 • Subduction zones!
Answer 24. • New ocean floor/rock
25. Where in the U.S. would we find a transform boudary? • ?????
