Test II. Write Fact, if the statement is true and Bluff, if it is false.
16. When plate boundaries collide, the thinner and denser oceanic plate is overridden by the thicker and less dense continental Plate. This happens at volcanic continental convergent plate boundary.
17. The oceanic plate is forced down into the mantle in a process known as “subduction”. As the oceanic plate descends, it is forced into higher temperature movements. This occurs at oceanic -oceanic convergent plate boundary.
18. At an ocean-ocean convergent boundary, one of the plates (oceanic crust and Lithospheric mantle) is pushed, subducted, under the other.
19. Often it is the older and colder plate that is denser and subducts beneath the younger and warmer plate.
20. Continental crust is too buoyant to subducts. When two continental plates converge, they smash together and create mountains. This phenomenon occurs at continental-continental convergent plate boundary.
21. Convergent boundaries consist of tectonic plates moving opposite each other.
22. Convergent boundaries will not create earthquakes,
23. Earthquakes occur at plate collision zones is the least powerful one.
24. Convergent plate boundary shows movement of tectonic plates towards each other.
25. Geological process that takes place at convergent boundaries forced one plate to sink due to gravitational potential energy into the mantle.​
