Name _______________________________________ Period # _______ PLATE TECTONICS REVIEW SHEET Write rock or metal to indicate the composition of the layer. 1. Crust ___Rock_______ 2. Mantle ___ Dense Rock_ 3. Inner Core __Solid Metal_ 4. Outer core _Liquid Metal 5. Which structural layer is divided into tectonic plates? ___Lithosphere_____________________ 6. Which structural layer do the tectonic plates float on? ___Asthenosphere__________________ 7. What method of heat transfer likely causes the plates to move? ____Convection_______________________ 8. Continental mountain ranges are often found along what kind of plate boundary? ___Convergent________________ 9. The type of boundary where plates collide is called a _____Convergent_______________ boundary. 10. The type of boundary where subduction occurs is a ____Convergent_______________ boundary. 11. The type of boundary where plates pull apart is called a _____Divergent______________ boundary. 12. The type of boundary where plates slide past each other is called a ____Transform_____________ boundary. 13. What event occurs often at transform boundaries? _____Earthquakes_________________________ 14. What often forms in subduction zones to allow magma to escape? ____Volcanoes_________________________ 15. Name the transform boundary in California that causes earthquakes: ____San Andreas Fault__________________ 16. What happens along the Ring of Fire and what type of boundary is to blame? _Volcanic Eruptions caused by convergent plate boundaries with subduction.___________________________________________________ 17. The North American plate is diverging from the Eurasian plate. What is happening to the Atlantic Ocean basin between North America and Europe? ___The ocean basin is getting wider. (Seafloor spreading)______________ 18. In subduction zones, why is it the oceanic crust that subducts under continental crust and not the other way around? __The oceanic crust is more dense than the continental crust. (Dense things sink.)__________________ 19. When two continental plates diverge, what landform can result? ___Rift Valley_____________________________ 20. Alfred Wegener explained the moving of continents in his theory: __Continental Drift________________________. 21. What type of boundary formed the Himalayan Mountains? ____Convergent_____________________________ Be familiar with the names of the plates and be able to tell what kind of plate boundaries exist by looking at the arrows.
