Answers

1
Which is a piece of evidence to support the Theory of Continental Drift?
dinosaurs were found in South America
fossils are found on all continents
continents are all shaped the same
plants that were from warm climates were found in the arctic
2
What are seismic waves?
waves felt during a volcanic eruption
waves felt during an earthquake
when you wave good bye to a friend
waves you surf at the beach
3
What are the two different seismic waves?
primary and secondary
first and last
epicenter and after shocks
primary and surface
4
What is Pangea?
where the first fault was discovered
a plate boundary
country where fossils were first found
single land mass
5
What are dams and levees designed for?
tools scientists use to measure earthquakes
ways to measure volcanic activity
a wall of water resulting from an underwater earthquake
structures used to prevent flooding
6
What is beach reclamation?
the breaking away or wearing down of landforms
when plates pull away from each other
rebuilding the beach that has been eroded away
when a tsunami destroys the beach
7
What is the difference between magma and lava?
Lava is above Earth's surface and magma is below
magma is after it cools and lava is under the surface
magma is above Earth's surface and lava is below
they are the same
8

depositing of sediment at the mouth of a river
a volcano erupting
wearing away of Earth's landforms
a tsunami
9

earthquakes
all of them
tsunamis
volcanoes
10
What are transform plates?
plates that crash into each other
faults
plates that slide past each other
plates that pull away from each other
11

earthquakes
all of them
volcanoes
deposition
12
What is the scale used to rate the magnitude of an earthquake?
Seismogram
Richter Scale
After shock
Seismograph
13
What is weathering?
two plates sliding past each other
the breaking away or wearing down of landforms
the dropping off of sediment
a sleeping or inactive volcano
14
Plates the collide or crash into each other are known as ____________plates
divergent
convergent
faults
transform
15
What is a tsunami?
rebuilding the beach that has eroded away
a structure used to prevent floods
volcano that continuously erupts
a wall of water resulting from an underwater earthquake
16
What is the difference between an active volcano and a dormant volcano?
an active volcano is smaller than a dormant volcano
dormant volcanoes are sleeping and don't erupt as often
they are the same
an active volcano is sleeping and doesn't erupt as much
17
What is erosion?
dropping off of sediment
the breaking away or wearing down of landforms
the movement of weathered material
a structure used to prevent flooding
18
What are the four layers of Earth?
crust, mantle , outer core, inner core
Inner core, outer core, lower mantle, middle mantle
crust, mantle, middle mantle, core
crust, oceanic crust, mantle, outer core
19
What is deposition?
