4. A constructive or divergent plate boundary is when:

Plates move together
Plates move apart
Plates slide past each other causing friction

5. A destructive or convergent boundary is when:

Plates move together
Plates move apart
Plates slide past each other

6. At a conservative plate boundary land is:

Destroyed
Created
Neither created or destroyed

7. What occurance is common along a conservative plate boundary?

Volcanoes
Earthquakes
Hurricanes

8. Which of these statements about a constructive boundary is NOT true?

Constructive boundaries are more commonly found on land than under the sea.
The Earth's plates are moving apart due to convection currents inside the Earth.
As the plates move apart (very slowly) magma rises from the mantle.
When the magma reaches the surface, it cools and solidifies to form a new crust of igneous rock.
Volcanoes often form at constructive boundaries.
