Where plates meet,what determines the type of plate boundary?
What is their relative movements
100
Divergent Boundaries occur when two plates what?
What is side apart from each other
100
Convergent boundaries occur when two plates what?
What is slide towards each other
100
Transform boundaries occur when two plates what?
What is slide or grind past one another
200
What are the 3 types of plate boundaries?
What is convergent, divergent and transform
200
At ocean to ocean rifting, divergent boundaries form by what?
What is seafloor spreading
200
What are the two ways the plates of convergent boundaries interact with one another?
What is subduction- one slides under the other, or collision- they collide together
200
At transform boundaries, plates are neither what or what?
What is created or destroyed
300
What kind of formations occur around these plate boundaries?
What is volcanoes, earthquakes, and mountain building
300
What is seafloor spreading?
What is the ocean basin expands and ridge forms at spreading center from magma spilling out of the ocean floor
300
Continent to continent subduction allows magma to seep up forms what kind of land mass
What is volcanoes
300
Perhaps the most famous transform boundary in the world is the what?
What is San Andreas fault
400
What does tectonic plate movement prove about Wegener's theory?
What is that continental drift did occur due to tectonic plate movement
400
What is the most well known geological form of seafloor spreading?
What is the mid ocean ridge
400
In convergent boundaries that collide, they push together making what other kind of land mass to form?
What is mountain ranges
400
Although transform boundaries are not marked by spectacular surface features, their sliding motion causes lots of what?
What is earthquakes
500
Around what plate boundary do most earthquakes occur?
What is transform boundaries

When divergent boundaries occur on land, what do they form?
What is new ocean basins like the red sea.
