Plate tectonics boundary quiz
Name: ______KEY____________________
Directions: Determine if the following is continental continental divergent, oceanic oceanic divergent,
continental continental convergent, oceanic oceanic convergent, continental oceanic convergent or
transform.
1. Transform At this boundary earthquakes and faults occur.
2. Continental continental divergent At this boundary two plates move apart to create a rift
valley.
3. Oceanic oceanic convergent At this boundary, two plates come together and create a deep
ocean trench and island arc.
4. Continental continental convergent At this boundary, folded mountain ranges occur.
5. Oceanic continental convergent At this boundary, two plates come together to create a
shallow ocean trench and volcanic mountain range.
6. Oceanic oceanic divergent At this boundary, two plates move apart to create new ocean crust
and an oceanic ridge.
Directions: Look at the pictures below and label each picture as continental continental divergent,
oceanic oceanic divergent, continental continental convergent, oceanic oceanic convergent,
continental oceanic convergent or transform.
1. Continental continental divergent
2. transform
3. oceanic oceanic convergent
5. continental continental convergent
4. Oceanic oceanic divergent
6. Oceanic continental convergent
Matching: match the plate boundary type to the landform that is created at the boundary.
