14
The closer you are to rhe sruface of the earth, the ______ the temperature.
lower/cooler
higher/warmer
15
Which describes when a trench is formed?
when an oceanic plate subducts at a convergent boundary
when an oceanic plate subducts at a divergent boundary
the aftermaths of an earthquake at a transform boundary
when 2 continental plates converge
16
Trenches and volcanos happen together when...
a trandforma plate boundary causes a series of earthquakes
when an oceanic plate diverges from another oceanic plate
magma creates such high mountains that the water fills in the trench
an oceanic plate and a continental plate converge causing subduction

Plates move toward each other and collide
Plates slide past each other
23
The movement of tectonic plates is caused by...
radiation from the sun
heat from the inner core and the sun
convection currents
the breeze under the mantle
24
Which plate boundary causes mid ocean ridges (under water mountain ranges)?
