1
The Great Rift Valley of the Red Sea in Africa is an example of
subduction zone
divergent boundary
convergent boundary
transform fault
2
The property of a material to be solid but yet flexible enough for currents to flow is called
blandness
rigidity
none of these...a solid can't be flexible
plasticity
3
What are the forms and locations of transform boundaries?
Rift Valley....Great Rift Valley of Africa
Fault Zones (Earthquakes)...San Adreas Fault
4
What are the features and locations for Continental-Oceanic Convergence?
rift valley, mid-ocean ridge....Iceland, Mid-Atlantic Ridge
trenches, volcanic mountains....Andes, Cascades
5
The surface features created when two plates converge is mostly determined by the
density and thickness of the crust
magnetism of the crust
the core, not the crust
temperature of the crust
6
What are the features and locations of Oceanic-Oceanic Convergence?
Trench, volcanic islands...Marianas & Aleutian Islands
Rift valley...Great Rift Valley of Africa
7
The layer of the mantle that flows under pressure is called the
hydrosphere
crust
asthenosphere
lithosphere
8
What are the forms and locations of Continental-Continental Divergences?
Mountain ranges...Alps & Mt. Everest
Rift Valley....Great Rift Valley of Africa
9
Which of the following may result from one plate running into another?
rift valley
convergent boundary
transform fault boundary
divergent boundary
10
What are the features and locations of Oceanic-Oceanic Divergence?
Fault zones (earthquakes)...San Andreas Fault
Rift valley, mid-ocean ridge...Mid-Atlantic Ridge, Iceland
11
The best place to see sea-floor spreading at a divergent boundary is
Alaska
Iceland
North Carolina
Hawaii
12
A collision between a continental plate and an oceanic plate is most likely to produce
dome mountains
volcanic mountains
hot spots
mountain ranges
13
Seafloor spreading occurs at
divergent boundary
subduction zones
transform fault
terrane boundaries
14
Where do the convection currents that move the plates occur?
asthenosphere
lithosphere
hydrosphere
crust
15
Which scientist 1st proposed that the continents were once joined and formed Pangea?
Heinz
Wegener
Suess
Trump
16
Seafloor spreading occurs at which of the following plate boundaries?
convergent boundary
subduction zones
divergent boundary
transform fault
17
Describe geologic history of NC, parts formed 1st, affected by sea level & final to develop
Mountains (under Appalachians, Piedmont & Coastal Plain)
Barrier Islands, Sandhills
All the above
Coastal Plain...underwater several times
18
What are the features and locations of Continental-Continental Convergence?
trench, volcanic islands...Great rift Valley of Africa
mountain ranges...The Alps, Mt. Everest
