Deforms
Breaks
Melts
9

Medium viscosity
High viscosity
Low viscosity
All of the above
10
What likely caused the mountain ranges seen in the figure?
Collision of tectonic plates
Volcanic Activity
Sagging of Earth's crust
Earthquakes
11

V-shaped valley
Oxbow Lake
Meander
Floodplain
13

Pangaea
15
Which of these is suspected to be the primary cause of global warming?
increasein the concentration of greenhouse gases
theloss of the ozone layer
changesin the earth’s orbit around the sun
increasein severe hurricane activity
16
The figure to the right shows a boundary between two tectonic plates. What type of boundary is pictured below?
Divergent Boundary
Convergent Boundary
None of the above
Transform Boundary
17
What was the main reason that Wegener’s continental drift hypothesis was initially rejected?
Hisevidence was not good enough for scientific research
He was not well liked by other scientists
Hewas dependent on modern technology for his evidence
Hecould not explain why the continents moved
18
Why are stratovolcanoes the most potentially dangerous type of volcano?
When they erupt, theyeject a small amount of pyroclastic material
When they erupt they release a large amount of material
They are built mainly of fluid basaltic lava flows
Most explosive eruptions w/ greatest amount of pyroclastic material
19
