Plate Tectonics starts at 9 and continues till grade 12.
QuestionsToday has an evolving set of questions to continuously challenge students so that their knowledge grows in Plate Tectonics.
How you perform is determined by your score and the time you take.
When you play a quiz, your answers are evaluated in concept instead of actual words and definitions used.
See sample questions for grade 10

At a transform plate boundary, plates move _______ each other.
Fill in the blank: The _______ Fault in California is a famous example of a transform boundary.
Fill in the blank: The _______ Plate is moving towards the Eurasian Plate, causing the uplift of the Himalayas.
Fill in the blank: The _______ Ridge is an example of a divergent plate boundary in the Atlantic Ocean.
True or False: Subduction zones are found at divergent boundaries.
True or False: The African Rift Valley is an example of a divergent plate boundary.
True or False: The Indian plate is moving northwards towards the Eurasian plate.
True or False: The movement of tectonic plates can cause the formation of ocean basins.
