_______ Continental-Continental c. Mountain ranges like Himalayas
Part B.
1. Complete the paragraph by filling up the correct term/s in its respective blank space.
2. This is a Cloze test which means that there is no other answer aside from the term/s taken from
the box below.
3. You can only use each word once.

(1) _______________ is made of earth’s crust and upper mantle. It is subdivided into portions called (2)
_______________ that move above the mantle. The two kinds of crust are (3) __________________ crust,
which is thicker but less dense, and oceanic crust, which is thinner but (4) _______________. A (5)
_______________ that the Earth’s crust is made up of plates moving (6) _______________ and interact in
various ways is Plate Tectonics. The interaction of the plates produces earthquakes, mountains,
volcanoes, and other (7) _______________ features. (8) __________________________from the Earth’s
interior makes the plates move above the mantle. This movement causes the formation of three types
of plate boundaries which are (9) __________________boundary, two plates sliding each other; (10)
____________________ boundary, two plates moving away from each other and convergent boundary
which plates are moving (11) ______________each other. Three types of convergent boundaries are (12)
____________________convergent boundary which forms volcanic island arc, (13)
______________________________ convergent boundary forming a continental volcanic arc, and (14)
_____________________________ convergent boundary wherein there is no (15) _______________.
