Plate Tectonics (6.E.2.2) Test Review

in the oceans

at plate boundaries

on land only

The movement of crustal plates over the mantle prevents continental drift

Crustal plates move away from each other at tectonic boundaries

The movement of crustal plates over the mantle often results in earthquakes and volcanic eruptions

being forced under another tectonic plate at a subduction zone

colliding with another tectonic plate and being forced up

moving over a hot spot where magma breaks through the crust
