5
The most recently formed crust on Earth would be found where -
two plates are pushing directly towards each other.
two plates are moving apart from each other.
plates are moving sideways past each other.
one plate is sliding under another plate.
6
What causes subduction?
2 plates collide with different densities
2 plates divide with different densities
2 plates divide with equal densities
2 plates collide with equal densities
7
Where would you find deep trenches?
convergent oceanic plates
subduction zones

10
As we look at the age of sediment farther away from the mid-Atlantic ridge, the sediments -
arrange according to magnetic polarity.
are made up of smaller particles.
are consistently older.
become thicker and thicker.
