Multiple Choice
If you took rock samples from the Mid-Atlantic Ridge, the youngest rock would be
located where the plates collide
located at the place where rocks are furthest from the rift valley
Located at the center of the ridge, where oceanic crust is formed
none of the above; all the rocks would be the same age
21
22
Multiple Choice
What causes rift valleys to form?
Rift valleys form where two continental plates diverge, or move away from each other
Rift valleys form where two continental plates converge, or move toward each other
Rift valleys form where one oceanic plate subducts beneath another continental plate
Rift valleys form at transform boundaries

Multiple Choice
What happens where an oceanic plate converges with a continental plate?
The denser oceanic plate slides on top of the less dense continental plate.
The denser oceanic plate slides under the less dense continental plate.
The less dense oceanic plate slides past the denser continental plate.
The less dense oceanic plate slides under the denser continental plate.

32
Multiple Choice
When oceanic and continental crust converge, the oceanic plate will dive beneath the continental plate. What best explains the results of this action?
The oceanic crust is moved upward by the radiation of heat
The oceanic crust will melt as it moves deeper in the earth.
The continental crust will form a mountain range.
The two crusts will form an ocean basin

Multiple Choice
What are the characteristics of island arcs and volcanic mountains?
They are formed by a plate melting at a subduction zone
They are always found in the ocean
They are only found in tropical warm regions of the planet
They form due to pressure from the atmosphere
36
37
Multiple Choice
What happens when an ocean plate collides with another ocean plate?
The older plate slides under the younger plate
The younger plate slides under the older plate
Both plates move apart
Both plates remain stationary
