Draggable item		Corresponding Item
Trench		The submerged outer edge of a continent; really just an extension of the continental crust, which is composed mostly of granite.
Continental Margin		Deep sea floor beyond the continental margin; made up of oceanic crust, which is composed mostly of volcanic basalt.
Guyot		Broad flat areas of sediment-covered ocean floor found between the continental margins and the mid-ocean ridges
Abyssal Plain		Long but narrow topographic depressions of the sea floor. They are also the deepest parts of the ocean floor.
Ocean Basin		A flat-topped seamount that was eroded flat by wave action or sank deeper in the seafloor.

When two plate move towards each other and collide.

Convergent

Divergent

Transform

When two plates move away from each other.

Convergent 

Divergent

Transform

When two plates slide past each other.

Convergent

Divergent

Transform

At transform boundaries,, fault lines are formed and there are a lot of earthquakes.

True

False

Two continental crusts colliding results in volcanic mountains.

True

False

A continental crust colliding with a oceanic crust causes which of the following to occur? Select all that apply.

Subduction

Volcanic Island Arc

Volcanic Mountains

Nothing happens

When two oceanic plates collide (come together), island arcs are formed.

True

False

At a divergent boundary, underwater volcanic mountains are formed, creating new oceanic crust.

True

False

At a continental divergent boundary, island arcs are formed.
