Plate boundary
Where two tectonic plates meet; site of most earthquakes/volcanoes
Convergent
A plate boundary where two plates move toward each other; creates mountains, trenches, or subduction
Divergent
A plate boundary where two plates move apart; creates mid-ocean ridges and rift valleys
Mantle
Layer between crust and core; solid but flows slowly; drives plate motion

1. The seafloor is the same age throughout the ocean basin — older crust is found near mid-ocean ridges and newer crust is found near the continents.

2. All volcanic hotspots like Hawaii and Yellowstone must be located at plate boundaries where plates are colliding or separating.
F12345T
3. Earthquakes happen randomly anywhere on Earth's surface.

4. If mantle convection completely stopped, all plate tectonic activity would immediately cease — but already-formed mountains and trenches would remain permanently unchanged.
F12345T
5. All volcanic eruptions are violent explosions — there is no such thing as a slow, gentle lava flow.
