all of these
climate
fossil
geologic
2
What kind of plate boundary is shown in the picture
karst topography
divergent
transform
convergent
3
The lithosphere that makes up the plates consists of:
the crust and upper mantle
the crust and lower mantle
the upper mantle and the lithosphere
the inner mantle and the core
4
What landform is forming at this ocean to ocean plate boundary?
earthquake
mountain
rift valley
volcanic island chain
5
What type of boundary is shown?
deep-sea sediment
convergent
divergent
transform
6
What is a tectonic plate?
A block of mantle
A portion of continental matter
A block of lithosphere
Segments of oceanic crust
7
Convections Current is the force the drives plate movement, it occurs in the
asthenosphere of the mantle
Lithosphere of the mantle
outer core
Lithosphere
8
This plate is:
Convergent
Transform
Divergent
9
What type of land feature is created when two continental plates move away from each other?
subduction zones
trenches
Mid-ocean ridges
island arcs
10
What type of fault occurs when the hanging wall move up relative to the foot wall?
reverse
normal
horizontal
strike-slip
11
What is the name given to the large landmass where are the continents were joined?
Gonwanaland
Laurasia
Pangaea
Eurasia
12
Land features such as island arcs, trenches, volacanos, earthquakes occur
along plate boundaries
Africa only
anywhere on earth, it's random!
Ring of Fire only
13
What happens to the plates at the San Andreas fault?
collide
slip past each other
move away from each other
move towards each other
14
What happens to plates at a subduction zone?
two plates don't move
two plates are pushed p
two plates move apart
one plate slides under another
15
In a convection currents in the Earth's interior:
magma in the mantle doesn't move
hot magma rises, cool magma sinks
hot magma stays the same, cool magma rises
hot magma sinks, cool magma rise
16
Why wasn't Alfred Wegener's Continental Drift Theory accepted by the science community?
people are closed minded
People felt that there wasn't enough evidence
He could not explain how the plates moved
The evidence did not make any sense
17

What is this type of boundary?
Slip Fault
Transform
Convergent
Divergent
19
What type of fault occurs when two plates slide past each other?
syncline
fault-block mountain
strike-slip fault
plateau
20
What landform is forming at this plate boundary?
volcanoes
mountains
island chains
rift valley
21
What type of fault occurs when the hanging wall moves down relative to the footwall?
strike-slip
syncline
reverse
normal
22
Which layer of the Earth is the deepest and hottest?
inner core
mantle
crust
outer core
23
What happens to the pressures as you move deeper into the Earth's interior?
pressure get higher
pressure gets lower
there is no pressure in the Earth's inerior
pressure stays the same
24
Evidence for continental drift is that all the landmass seem fit together like a puzzle.
False
True
