    The document describes four activities about plate tectonics: 1) A continental plate collides with an oceanic plate, causing the oceanic plate to be subducted under the continental plate and forming a mountain range on the continental plate. Molten rock rises to form volcanoes. 2) Two oceanic plates converge, with one being subducted under the other. This causes volcanoes and mountain building at the surface and could result in a tsunami if the subducting plate suddenly rises. 3) Two continental plates converge, pushing together and forming mountains and basins. Earthquakes could also occur. 4) Pictures show diverging continental plates, indicating land masses were once
