The section shows oceanic plates spreading apart with magma solidifying at the center. What feature forms along the boundary?

A continental plate is being pulled apart in the section, with normal faults dropping the center block. What surface feature is forming?

A dense oceanic plate descends beneath a continent in the section. Which feature forms at the seafloor where bending begins?

The California map marks the San Andreas Fault, where the Pacific and North American plates slide past each other. Which boundary type is it?

The map marks the Himalayas along the India-Eurasia collision zone. Which boundary type built this mountain belt?

The map marks the Cascadia margin off Washington and Oregon, where Juan de Fuca oceanic lithosphere sinks beneath North America. What boundary type is it?

The map marks the Andes along western South America, where the Nazca Plate descends beneath South America. Which boundary type is shown?

The map marks the Japan Trench east of Honshu, where the Pacific Plate begins descending beneath Japan. Which boundary type is this?

The map marks the Mariana Trench, where the Pacific Plate passes beneath the Philippine Sea Plate. What boundary type is it?

Oceanic crust with density 3.0 grams per cubic centimeter meets continental crust with density 2.7. Which crust descends at the trench?

The section shows two oceanic plates converging. Plate A is older and colder with a density of 3.2, while Plate B is younger with a density of 2.9. Which plate subducts?

Two continents, both about density 2.7 grams per cubic centimeter, collide after the ocean between them closes. What happens instead of one slab sinking deep?

At an ocean-ocean boundary, Plate X has density 3.2 and Plate Y has density 3.0. Which slab is most likely to descend?

A thin oceanic plate with density 3.1 meets a thicker continental plate with density 2.8. Which plate goes down, and why?

Plate A is oceanic with a density of 3.1, and Plate B is oceanic with a density of 2.9. At their convergent boundary, which plate forms the dipping earthquake zone?

A continent with density 2.7 faces an ocean floor plate with density 3.0, and arrows show convergence. Which plate becomes the subducting slab?

A young oceanic plate of density 2.9 meets continental crust of density 2.7 at a trench. Which crust still tends to subduct?

The section shows oceanic Plate P, with density 3.05, converging with continental Plate Q, with density 2.8. Which plate sinks when they collide?

The section shows two oceanic plates converging, with west on the left. The east plate has density 3.3 and the west plate has density 3.0. Which plate descends beneath the other?

The section shows earthquake foci deepening from 20 kilometers near a trench to 600 kilometers inland. What does that pattern show?

A boundary diagram shows only shallow earthquakes along a straight side-slipping fault and no volcanic arc. What boundary behavior is most likely?
