1st QUARTER SUMMATIVE TEST

IN SCIENCE 10

Name: ____________________________ Year and Section: ___________ Date: ________ Score: _____

Direction: Fill in the missing words/ phrases to explain the process of plate movements along the plate
boundaries, describe the effects of transform boundary movement and determine the location of some
transform boundaries on Earth. Choose your answers on the box below.

Transform Fault San Andreas Fault Ridge conservative two

Grinding Sliding adjecent earthquakes destroying

If the blocks of wood in the activity were to represent the lithospheric plates, you will notice that there
were two sets of divergent plate boundaries (between blocks 1 and 2 and blocks 3 and 4). But since the
plates were _________ to each other, a new type of boundary is manifested and that is the
___________________boundary.
Most transform faults join _____ segments of a mid-ocean ridge (represented by the gaps between 1
and 2, and between 3 and 4). Remember that the presence of a _______is an indication of diverging
plates, and as the plates diverge between the two segments of the mid-ocean ridge, the adjacent slabs
of crust are __________ past each other (blocks 2 and 3, blocks 1 and 3, and blocks 2 and 4).

Although most transform faults are located within the ocean basins, there are a few that cut through the
continental crust. An example of this is the _______________. The immediate concern about transform
fault boundaries are earthquake activities triggered by movements along the fault system. These
boundaries are ______________ because plate interaction occurs without creating or __________ crust.

Because the only motion along these faults is the ________ of plates past each other, the horizontal
direction along the fault surface must parallel to the direction of plate motion. The fault surfaces are
rarely smooth, and pressure may build up when the plates on either side temporarily lock. This buildup
of stress may be suddenly released in the form of an ______________.

Direction: Inside the circle give the similarities of geologic events/features between oceanic-continental
convergence and oceanic-oceanic convergence and differences of geologic events/features between
oceanic-oceanic convergence and continental-continental convergence. (20 pts.)
