FALSE (They move toward each other)
Earthquakes are common along transform boundaries.
TRUE
Mid-ocean ridges are formed at divergent plate boundaries.
TRUE
Volcanoes are never found at convergent boundaries.
FALSE (They often form at convergent boundaries)
A subduction zone is where one tectonic plate slides under another.
TRUE
The San Andreas Fault is an example of a divergent boundary.
FALSE (It’s a transform boundary)
Transform boundaries are where plates slide past each other.
TRUE
The Himalayas were formed by a divergent boundary.
FALSE (They were formed by a convergent boundary)
New crust is created at divergent boundaries.
TRUE
Convergent boundaries can create mountain ranges.
TRUE
Tectonic plates float on the asthenosphere.
TRUE
Volcanic island arcs are found at divergent boundaries.
FALSE (They form at oceanic-oceanic convergent boundaries)
Earth’s plates move at the speed of several meters per year.
FALSE (They move only a few centimeters per year)
