Plate Motion True/ False

At convergent boundaries, rock rises from the mantle and hardens, adding new solid rock to the edges of both plates

False

At divergent boundaries, one plate moves underneath the other plate and sinks into the mantle.

False

At divergent boundaries, plates collide

False

Divergent plate boundaries are not very active

False

Earth's outer layer is divided into sections called continents

False

Earth's outer layer is made of soft, solid rock

False

Earth's plates move on top of a soft, solid layer of rock called the crust

False

Earth's plates travel at a fast rate.

False

It takes a long time for Earth's plates to travel tiny distances.

False

Mid ocean ridges form at convergent boundaries

False

Mountains form at divergent boundaries

False

The plates of Earth's outer later are stationary

False

Trenches form at divergent boundaries

False

Volcanic activity is only found at divergent boundaries

False

At convergent boundaries, one plate moves underneath the other plate and sinks into the mantle.

True

At divergent boundaries, plates move away from each other

True

At divergent boundaries, rock rises from the mantle and hardens, adding new solid rock to the edges of both plates

True

Divergent plate boundaries are very active areas—there are usually lots of volcanoes, geysers, and earthquakes nearby.
