Command Word Practice
1. State how tectonic plates move (1) convection currents in the mantle
2. Complete the following paragraphAt a constructive plate margin the plates move away from each other. Magma rises to fill the gap created which then cools to form new crust/land. (3)(You don’t always get given information)
State Express in clear terms.

Command Word Practice3. Explain how earthquakes form at destructive plate margins (4)Convection currents cause tectonic plates to move towards each other. The denser oceanic plate subducts under the continental plate. Friction caused the plates to get stuck and pressure builds over time. The pressure is eventually released releasing seismic waves felt on the surface as an earthquake.
4. Identify the plate margins where volcanoes can be created (2)
Destructive and constructive plate margins
Explain Set out purposes or reasons.
Identify Name or otherwise characteristics.

5. Outline how fold mountains form (3) Two plates move towards each other. The plates have similar densities. Over time they will crumple as they collide and form fold mountains.
There is advice and guidance on command words in the green revision guides and on the geography mock exam resources found in the
school website or student resources!
Outline Set out main characteristics.
