Describe what happens when one oceanic plate sinks under another at a convergent boundary. What features can form as a result?
40
Multiple Choice
Which of the following statements about plate boundaries is correct?
Divergent boundaries form volcanic islands and mid-ocean ridges
Transform boundaries are where plates move away from each other and cause eruptions
Convergent boundaries never form deep-ocean trenches
All plate boundaries cause volcanic eruptions
41
42
Multiple Choice
What are the main differences between divergent, transform, and convergent plate boundaries in terms of plate movement and surface features?
Divergent boundaries involve plates moving apart, forming rift valleys; transform boundaries involve plates sliding past each other; convergent boundaries involve plates colliding, forming mountain ranges.
Divergent boundaries involve plates colliding, forming mountains; transform boundaries involve plates moving apart; convergent boundaries involve plates sliding past each other.
Divergent boundaries involve plates sliding past each other; transform boundaries involve plates colliding; convergent boundaries involve plates moving apart.
Divergent boundaries involve plates forming volcanoes; transform boundaries involve plates forming trenches; convergent boundaries involve plates forming lakes.
