a continental plate is ___an oceanic plate. a. denser than b. less dense than, c. equally as dense as

folding occurs when ____ a. 2 ocean plates collide b. 2 continental plates collide c. an ocean and a continetal plate collide

when 2 contental plates collide a. the larger plate is forced downward, b. the smaller plate is forced downward, c. both plates stop moving d. both plates fold.

plate tectonics indicates that the ocean floor is __ a. spreading b. sinking c. collapsing into the rift valley

Explanation / Answer

Multiple choice: Answeres 1. When a ocean plate collides against a continental plate, the ocean plate is forced downward because of high density. Hence option (b) is correct answer. 2. A continental plate is less dense than an oceanic plate. Hence option (b) is correct answer. 3. Folding occurs when two continental plates collide because of same density (low density). Hence option (b) is correct answer. 4. When 2 continental plates collide both plates fold due to same density and form mountains. Hence option (d) is correct answer. 5. Plate tectonics indicates that the ocean floor is spreading. Hence option (a) is correct answer.
