4
Boundaries where plates move
together/toward each other
are called:

transform
5
Which statement about the water cycle is true?
All of these are true
It's the movement of water between land atmosphere & oceans
It recycles the same water Earth has had for 3 billion years
In the water cycle water changes from solid to liquid to gas
