convergent
6
What is happening to the plates along this fault?
Plates colliding (convergent plate boundary)
Subduction
Plates sliding past one another (transform plate boundary)
Plates dividing (divergent plate boundary)
7

crust
inner core
outer core
mantle
8
Where does a surface wave travel?
on the earth's surface
through the earth
9
What is the name of this landmass?

San Andreas Fault
Parkridge
Wallace Creek
Pacific Plate
12
What zone is highlighted in RED?
Mediterranean-Himalayan Belt
Mid-Atlantic Ridge
Ring of Fire (Circum-Pacific Belt)
13
Which layer of the Earth’s interior is labeled as C?
crust
mantle
inner core
outer core
14
Which city was nearest to the earthquake? (arrived first)
Honolulu
Richmond
Juneau
The earthquake was the same distance to all of them.
15
Two plates will slide past one another at a ___ plate boundary.
subduction
convergent
divergent
transform
16
At a ___ plate boundary plates move toward each other and collide.
transform
subduction
convergent
divergent
17
What evidence is there that the Earth was once one large landmass?
All of these
Mountain ranges and rock types line up
Animal and plant fossils line up
The shapes of the continents fit like a puzzle
18
What is responsible for Earthquake B?
Plates spreading at a mid-ocean ridge
One oceanic plate subducting beneath another ocean plate at a trench.
Two continental plates colliding
Two plates sliding past one another
19
How do mountains form?
All of these!
Subduction creates volcanic mountains or islands.
Continental plates collide, and the land folds upward.
Divergent boundary forms a volcanic mountain chain/ridge on the ocean floor
