Outer core
__________ boundaries are places where plates slide sideways past each other.
Transform
True/False? Earthquakes and volcanoes most likely occur along the plate tectonic boundaries?
True
Which type of plate tectonic boundary has plates that move towards each other. May form mountains and volcanoes.
Convergent
This plate boundary has rising convection currents below lifts the lithosphere, producing a mid-ocean ridge.
Divergent
During a convergent plate boundary, the oceanic plate is forced down into the mantle in a process known as __________
subduction
When continental and oceanic plates collide and move towards each other, this describes which type of plate tectonic?
Convergent
Which plate tectonic boundary has plates that slide past each other. Example San Andreas Fault
