TRUE OR FALSE

1.Ridge push occurs along divergent boundaries.
2. Rift valleys are formed when ridge push occurs under water.
3. Mid-ocean ridges are underwater mountain ranges.
4. Magma rises to the surface due to the pressure built by convection current.
5. Magma in the asthenosphere is heated by the Earth's crust.
6. Slab pull occurs along subduction zones. 7. Slab suction helps the slab pull process in bringing the subducted plate down.
8. A trench is always formed parallel to mid-ocean ridges.
9. Collisional resistance prevents the rapid downward movement of a plate.
10. Collisional resistance directly opposes the action of ridge push.
11. Basal drag operates on almost all parts of a moving lithospheric plate.
12. Basal drag resists the motion at the interface between the crust and upper mantle.
13. Transform fault resistance resists the motion of colliding plates.
14. Resisting forces produce a shearing or frictional force to slow plate move​
