What is Auburn Quadrangle?
200
This plate is the biggest plate that is found on Earth.
What is the Pacific Plate?
200
This is the theory describing the origin, movement, and recycling of lithospheric resulting landforms.
What is Plate tectonics?
200
This is the process in which oceanic lithosphere of one plate bends and dives into the mantle beneath another plate.
What is subduction?
300
This map scale conveys the relationship between distance measured on a map and the actual distance that represents on Earth with a fraction or ratio.
What is Representative Fraction/Fractional Map Scale?
300
On a map with a scale of 1:24,000, a measured distance of 1 inch equals an actual distance of: [blank] feet. (1 foot = 12 inches)

These boundaries will have a mid-oceanic ridge with the age of the ocean floor increasing as the distance from the ridge increases along with shallow earthquakes.
What is divergent oceanic to oceanic boundary?
300
These plate boundaries will have a rift valley along with volcanoes and linear lakes.
What is divergent continental to continental boundary?
400
