1 - $100 n At one time, all of the continents were connected as one large continent called this n Pangaea

1 - $200 n This driving force that causes plates to move n Convection currents

1 - $300 n Lithospheric plates move this far each year n A few inches

1 - $400 n Convection currents are in which of Earth’s layers? n mantle

1 - $500 n New lithosphere (crust) is formed at which type of boundary? n Divergent

2 - $100 n This boundary occurs when plates move away from each other n Divergent

2 - $200 n Give an example of a divergent boundary African Rift Valley n Mid Atlantic Ridge n

2 - $300 n What will happen over time to the African Rift Valley? n It will continue to grow wider and deeper

2 - $400 n What is the mid-ocean ridge? n A large mountain range formed under the ocean

2 - $500 n This fills in the space left between the plates at the mid-ocean ridge n Molten rock / magma from the mantle

3 - $100 n This type of boundary occurs when two plates slide past each other n Transform

3 - $200 n T / F The sliding motion of a transform boundary occurs very smoothly n False

3 - $300 n This is an example of a transform boundary n San Andreas fault

4 - $100 n This type of boundary occurs when plates move toward each other n Convergent

4 - $200 n These are the 3 types of convergent boundaries Oceanic – oceanic n Continental - continental n

4 - $300 n The region along a plate boundary where one plate moves under another plate n Subduction zone

4 - $400 n At this type of convergent boundary, underwater mountains form, eventually turning into islands n Oceanic - oceanic

4 - $500 n At this type of convergent boundary, a deep ocean trench forms n Oceanic - continental

5 - $100 n This is an example of an oceanic – oceanic convergent boundary n Japan

5 - $200 n At this type of convergent boundary, large mountain chains form n Continental - continental
