The quiz and related video are best used as instructors are introducing the different types of plate boundaries. A knowledge of basic plate tectonic features (e.g., oceanic ridges) is expected.

Students respond to quiz questions presented in our classroom management system after viewing the related video and before attending class. (That is, while we provide the questions here as a pdf document, that is not how we present them to students in our course.)

The quiz and related video address two learning objectives:

1. Students will be able to identify examples of transform plate boundaries around the world;
2. Students will be able to describe the physical features and geological processes at a transform plate boundary.

After watching the associated video, students complete the quiz to ensure that they have a working knowledge of some basic content related to transform plate boundaries. This provides the instructor with more time in the subsequent class to incorporate active learning exercises that include application of higher order thinking skills.
