Activity 13.2 Plate Boundaries
1.
Fill in the blanks. Select from the following list:
Earthquakes
Subduction
Oceanic
Volcanoes
Boundaries
Transform
Convergent
Continental
divergent
Plate ______________________ are named for the type of motion involved. For example, at a
_________________ plate boundary, plates spread apart from one another. At a __________________
boundary, plates slide past each other. There are three types of _______________ boundaries,
depending on the combination of lithosphere types involved. If one or both of the plates is __________,
then a subduction zone is formed. If both plates are _____________________, a tall mountain range
results. All plate boundaries are associated with ___________________. However, at a transform
boundary you will not find ___________________.
