Answers
1
What type of plate boundary is shown below?
divergent
confounding
convergent
transform
2
Which surface feature is found on the Earth at a transform boundary?
faults
subduction zone
volcanoes
trenches
3
What happens when two oceanic plates converge?
One plate is subducted under the other & crust is destroyed
They crash into each other and create mountains
Ocean plates only move away from each other
They cause glaciers
4
Why is Alfred Wegener important to geology?
he came up with plate tectonics
He discovered sea-floor spreading
He had the theory of continental drift
He mapped the ocean floor using SONAR
5
What geologic event occurs along the San Andreas fault?
subduction
trenches
tall mountains
earthquakes
6
Which type of plate boundary created the Himalayas?
Ocean-Ocean convergent
Continental-Continental Convergent
Transform
Ocean-Continental Convergent
7
Name the type of plate boundary shown in the picture.
Convergent
Divergent
Confounding
Transform
8
This island arc would be found at what type of plate boundary?
Divergent
Continental-Continental Convergent
Oceanic-Oceanic Convergent
Oceanic-Continental Convergent
9
What force drags the tectonic plate along?
convection currents in the mantle
Mid-ocean ridges
Subduction
Island arcs
10
What geologic activity was discovered by Harry Hess along the Mid-Ocean Ridge?
mountain building
volcanoes
sea-floor spreading
SONAR
11
What surface feature is found at a divergent boundary?
subduction zones
tall mountains
rift valleys
trenches
12
In which layer of the Earth are the convection currents responsible for plate tectonics?
outer core

mantle
inner core
13
Which type of crust is denser?
neither
continental
oceanic
both
14
What geologic event is occurring at the Mid-Ocean Ridge?
Subduction
Volcanoes
Tsunamis
New crust is formed
15
What did Alfred Wegener call the "super continent" where all landmasses were joined together?
Asthenosphere
Super Max Plus
Megalithic
Pangaea
16
Which type of plate boundary is pictured below?
transform
divergent
convergent
confounding
17
At what type of boundary would this new crust be formed?
convergent
transform
confounding
divergent
18
What evidence supported the Theory of Continental Drift?
Fossils, Landforms, and Climate
Continental, Transform, and Divergent
Landform, Planetary, and Polar
Climate, Weather, and Hydraulics
19
What type of surface feature would we find at this boundary?
rift valleys
island arcs
volcanoes
tall mountains
20
Who was the scientist who discovered sea-floor spreading, the "how" of plate tectonics?
Alfred Hitchcock
Harry Styles
Harry Hess
Alfred Wegener
