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.
