II. True or False

Direction: Write True if the statement is correct and write False if otherwise. Write your answer on the space
provided before each number.
_____1. The transform fault plate boundary brings strong earthquakes and ends abruptly.
_____2. Shallow earthquakes are associated with continental to continental convergence of plates.
_____3. When to continental plates converge, earthquakes, mountains, and volcanoes may form.
_____4. The divergence of two continental plates results to a rift and eventually becomes a rift valleys and leads to
the formation of continental ridges.
_____5. The relative motion of the plates at the transform fault boundary is sliding towards each other.
_____6. Majority of tectonic activities like earthquakes, mountain formations, and volcanic activities happen along or
near plate boundaries.
_____7. The crust of the earth is of two types, the continental and the oceanic crust. The continental crust is made of
basalt whereas the oceanic crust is made of granite.
_____8. Countries like the Philippines and Japan are both part of the pacific ring of fire.
_____9. When two tectonic plates collide, the oceanic crust usually subducts beneath the continental crust because
it is less denser than continental crust.
_____10. An archipelago is a group islands close next to each other surrounded by bodies of water.

III. Identification
Direction: Identify what is stated in each item.
_________1. This the third deepest trench in the world.

_________3. This is a Japanese word for harbor waves.
_________4. These are huge pieces of lithosphere that are seemingly floating on top of the mantle.
_________5. This fault is the result of North American Plate and Pacific Plate sliding past each other which was also
featured in a movie.
