Answers
1
11. Which would most likely form at a convergent boundary?
valley
trench
river
mountain
2
24. Which is the strongest measure of an earthquake?
10.0
0.1
1.0
100.0
3
8. How do faults differ from boundaries?
they do not differ
boundary causes earthquakes & fault does not
fault = where 2 plates meet & boundary =dislocation along a fault
boundary =place where 2 plates meet & fault = dislocation along a boundary
4
19. Which is the best example of an igneous rock?
basalt
limestone
shale
marble
5
22. Which rock type forms from deposited particles over time?
igneous
sedimentary
metamorphic
mineral
6
15. How does the heat of Earth's core affect Earth's surface?
core's heat provides the atmosphere with heat
core's heat passed to crust and is expelled during lava eruptions
core's heat passed to mantle creating convection that moves the crust
core's heat is passed around Earth through earthquakes
7
13. Which best describes the evidence discovered from studying sedimentary rocks?
type indicates temperature & pressure in Earth's crust
compounds i explain structure & composition of mantle, etc.
organisms & compounds found explain past climate, life, & geological events
composition explains amount of heat needed to alter rocks
8
18. How can faults inform geologists about Earth's past?
provide evidence about convergent boundaries
present info about melting plates at subduction zones
give evidence about new crust forming at divergent boundaries
inform how crust moves at transform boundaries
9
12. Which rock type forms from molten materials?
metamorphic
igneous
mineral
sedimentary
10
7. Which best describes Earth's plates?
large sections of lithosphere capable of movement
large sections of mantle capable of movement
large sections of lithosphere NOT capable of movement
large sections of core capable of movement
11
20. What do seismic waves carry?
noise from collisions
noise from echos
energy from sunlight
energy from vibrations
12
2. Which is not a type of plate boundary?
convergent
alternating
transform
divergent
13
16. Which statement best describes how convergent boundaries affect the Earth's crust?
form mountains
form new crust
form ridges
form faults
14
4. Which best describes the rock cycle?
non-continuous process that allows rocks to change forms
continuous process that keeps rocks from changing forms
continuous process that allows rock to change forms
non-continuous process that keeps rocks from changing forms
15
6. Which is the best example of sedimentary rock?
granite
basalt
marble
shale
16
1. Which branch of geology deals with movement of Earth's crust?
paleontology
plate tectonics
anthropology
ecology
17
21. Which best describes the locations where a volcano would most likely be found?
at a convergent boundary at a subduction zone
there is no pattern to volcano locations--they are random
in the middle of a solid tectonic plate
they may only appear in the oceans
18
10. Which is the best example of a metamorphic rock?
granite
shale
basalt
marble
19
3. In which layer does convection occur?
ozone
mantle
crust
core
20
14. How do igneous rocks provide evidence about Earth?
crystal structures explain amount of heat & pressure needed to change rocks
composition explains organisms from the past
organisms and compounds explain climate, life, and geo events
compounds explain temperature, pressure, & composition of earth layers
21
9. Which is another term that may refer mostly to Earth's crust?
lithosphere
mantle
core
boundary
22
23. Which type of boundary would be considered destructive?
convergent
none of these
transform
divergent
23
25. Which rock type forms from another rock type after is has been exposed to extreme heat and pressure?
mineral
metamorphic
sedimentary
igneous
24
5. Which type of wave contributes to earthquakes?
infrared wave
microwave
seismic wave
visible light wave
25
17. How could a divergent boundary change the Earth's surface?
form mountains
create faults
form new seafloor
form new crust
