Answers
1
The magma/lava that rises due to convection...
Does so because it is the same temperature as magma around it.
Does so because it is cooler than the magma around it.
Does so because it is hotter than the magma around it.
2
Seafloor spreading does what?
Creates new seafloor
Destroys seafloor
Creates new continental crust
3
The continents are moving away from each other as magma rises from mid-ocean ridges. This is...
underwater volcanos
changing sea floor
sea floor spreading
sea floor rising
4
Which events occur at plate boundaries?
Earthquakes
Volcanoes
Mountain Building
All of These
5
Mountain ranges form at which type of boundary?
transform
convergent
irregular
divergent
6
At the Great Rift Valley in Africa....
Plates are moving away from each other
Plates are sliding past
The plates are emotionally broken
Plates are moving into each other
7
A transform boundary is where the plates are
moving apart
colliding together
moving into space
sliding past each other
8
A convergent boundary is where the plates are
sliding past each other
moving into space
colliding together
moving apart
9
Plate tectonics, or the movement of pieces of Earth's crust, is thought to be caused by
convection currents in the Earth's mantle
volcanoes
Earthquakes
Hot Spots
10
A divergent boundary is where the plates are
moving apart
sliding past each other
colliding together
11
Where does convection occur?
Inner Core
Mantle
Crust
Outer Core
12
Will I find volcanoes at transform plate boundaries?
Yes
No
13
What is the differenece between a Rift Valley and a Mid-Ocean Ridge?
Both are Convergent. One is on land and the other is in the ocean
Both are transform. One is on land and the other is in the ocean
Both are Divergent. One is on land and the other is in the ocean
14
Why must feature "G" be younger than Layers N,A,T?
Layer S is just happy that it has nothing to do with this situation.
Because it feels younger
Layers N,A,T needed to be there first in order for G to cut through.
Feature G was actually there first
15
A map of earthquake data and volcanoes would probably show you
Plate boundaries
Earthquakes
Vacation destinations.
Volcanoes
16
What is the most dense layer of Earth?
The Crust
The Outer Core
The Mantle
The Inner Core
17
Continental Crust is more dense then Oceanic Crust
Wrong!
Correct, sir!
18
Where does molten material rise from the mantle during sea floor spreading?
Mid ocean ridges
faults
earthquakes
Deep Ocean Trenches
19
What is the oldest layer/feature?
E
C
D
B
20
The mid ocean ridge is which type of boundary?
convergent
transform
irregular
divergent
21
The Earth's continents were once connected in one giant continent called
Pangaea
Indo-Australia
Eurasia
Pacifica
22
The San Andreas fault in California is which type of boundary?
transform
convergent
divergent
irregular
23
What is this?
Volcanoes in space, space-canoes
totally fake, the world is flat
Volcanic island arc
Volcanoes on the continent
24
Where does subduction occur?
Mountains
Canyons
Mid Ocean RIdges
Deep Ocean Trenches
25
Plate tectonics can also be the direct cause of forming
oceans
lakes
mountains
rivers
