Answers
1
When two plates are converging, this means they are:
pulling apart
coming together
sliding one past the other, side-by-side
evaporating
2
The mid-ocean ridge is a _________ boundary, and new rock is created at the surface
transform
hotspot
divergent
convergent
3
The process that involves the heating/cooling of Earth's mantle leads to:
eruptions
rises in sea level
convection
earthquakes
4
A rift valley happens at a convergent boundary
False
True
5
A chain of volcanic islands can result from a subduction (convergent) boundary:
False
True
6
Which is a natural way that rock material on Earth changes:
all of these
it melts when a rock gets driven down into the mantle
when humans drill down into the Earth
it gets pushed together to form metamorphic rock
7
Which statement is true about Earth's plates:
they are never touching each other
they have higher elevations near the edges of the continents
they are never as large as a continent
they cannot be bent/folded over a long period of convergence
8
Which is true about oceanic plates?
They are found on top of continents
The are less dense than continental
They are thicker than continental plates
They tend to subduct under continental plates
9
Volcanoes are created....
when the sun gets too hot
When magma wants to push up to the surface (it's less dense)
when plates move side-by-side (transform boundary)
every time an earthquake happens
10
The Law of the Conservation of Matter states:
solids, liquids and gases can change states randomly
all matter is made of small atoms
once an object starts its motion, it'll stay in motion unless acted upon
matter cannot be created nor destroyed, only changed
11
A fault line is a large crack/boundary of a tectonic plate
True
False
12
The Earth recycles plate material by....
an earthquake occurring
evaporating sediments into the atmosphere
forming new plate material (rock) at a divergent boundary
creating metals used by humans
13
Mountains
are not developing today
have been developing since the beginning of Earth
are a newer feature formed in recent history
none of these
14
A globe is
always
better to use than a map for examining Earth's surface and its changes
True
False
15
A hotspot always happen away from a plate boundary
True
False
16
Subduction happens at:
convergent boundaries
divergent boundaries
transform boundaries
all of these
17
Continents are....
have no relationship with tectonic plates
islands made of liquid magma
attached to tectonic plates
floating above tectonic plates
18
Plates float on a layer of completely melted rock below them (in the mantle)
False
True
19
A scientific
explanation
that involves using the CER process, stands for:
Continents, Earth, Resources
Caution, Evidence, Review
Claim, Evidence, Reasoning
Cats, Eagles, Rats
20
The following pieces of evidence were introduced by Wegener to support continental drift:
The fit of continents resembled a puzzle-like structure
All are correct
identical fossils found on different continents
evidence of a very warm climate found on Antarctica
