The plate boundary located off the western coast of South American is an area of –
Convergent subduction because the plates are colliding
Which type of plate movement would cause the Andes Mountain Range to form?
Convergent
plates are currently converging, causing uplift and steep slopes.
Daily Double:The thick black lines on the map below show the locations of mid-ocean ridges. Which geologic feature is most likely to form at a mid-ocean ridge?
Volcano
These folded mountains form at what type of boundary?
Convergent
Which of the following is the plate movement that forms the Himalayas?
C
The plate boundary located between the South American and African Plate is an area of –
Divergent because the plates are pulling apart
Daily Double
Location 2 is most likely to cause: (erosion, deposition, new ocean floor to form)

new ocean floor to form
Divergent
This crater is located in a flat, dry part of northeastern Arizona. How will this crater most likely change over time?
a. It will get deeper as it fills with water OR
b. It will become less deep as the rim erodes
B. It will become less deep as the rim erodes
This boundary shows:
Convergent/ Subduction
Thursday Triple: As the plates pull apart, magma moves to the surface, building ridges- this is describing the formation of:
Seafloor Spreading/Mid Ocean Ridge
