ReviewDivergent: Boundary between two plates that are moving apart.Convergent: Boundary between two plates that are pushing together.Transform (Strike-slip): Boundary between two plates that are sliding past one another. *** Causes EarthquakesSubduction Zone: The area where one plate pushes down under another. Volcanoes are often created by this.

1. As two continental plates move toward each other, what landforms would you expect to see?
A. Volcanoes Incorrect
These form at edges of plates or over hot spots

1. As two continental plates move toward each other, what landforms would you expect to see?
B. Cliffs Incorrect
These are erosional landforms or minor uplift areas

1. As two continental plates move toward each other, what landforms would you expect to see?
C. New Land Incorrect
Forms when plates move apart

1. As two continental plates move toward each other, what landforms would you expect to see?
D. Mountains – correct - because 2 continental masses will push into each other and “crumple” the edges to form mountains

2. Where would you find the newest land on Earth?A. In areas of continental convergenceB. In areas where two ocean plates come
togetherC. In areas where plates are moving apartD. In areas where two plates are sliding past each
other

2. Where would you find the newest land on Earth?A. In areas of continental convergenceIncorrect
Mountains would form here from existing land.

2. Where would you find the newest land on Earth?B. In areas where two ocean plates come
togetherIncorrect
You would find trenches in this area.

2. Where would you find the newest land on Earth?D. In areas where two plates are sliding past each
otherIncorrect
You would find land movement but not new land being formed

2. Where would you find the newest land on Earth?C. In areas where plates are moving apartCorrect
When plates move apart it is due to magma reaching the surface. When magma cools new land is formed.
