2
Which type of volcano is the most explosive?
shield
scoria cone
dormant
stratocone
3
What is a characteristic of a mineral?
found only in laboratories
produced by living things
has orderly structure
burns easily
4
What would be needed for slate (metamorphic rock) to from from shale (sedimentary rock)?
weathering
heat and pressure
erosion and deposition
melting and solidification
5
At which boundary would a rift zone most likely occur?
divergent
transform
uplift
convergent
6
Which term should replace the question mark?
melting
cooling
weathering
deposition
7
Which phrase best describes the crust?
innermost layer below mantle
layer on which tectonic plates move
hot, slow-flowing interior layer above core
thin and solid outermost layer
8
What is most likely to form at convergent boundaries?
sea-floor spreading
volcanoes
rift zones
earthquakes
9
Chemical weathering of limestone and groundwater erosion most likely create which landform?
limestone cave
cirque formation
alpine valley
arete ridge
10
What must happen to igneous rock before it can change to sedimentary?
must melt and become magma
broken down into sediment
minerals must be dissolve in water
exposed to high heat and pressure
11
Which of the following most likely causes pebbles in a stream to erode?
movement of ice
freezing and thawing
force of gravity
flowing water
12
Which term describes the falling of volcanic ash to Earth?
subsidence
deposition
weathering
erosion
13
Which of the following is always found where two plates of lithosphere meet?
sea-floor spreading
tectonic plate boundary
convergent boundary
convection current
14
How can acid be used to identify a mineral?
minerals that have same density as acid are carbonates
minerals that produce bubbles are acidic minerals
minerals that produce bubbles are carbonates
15
How does snow turn into ice to form a glacier?
snow melts as it falls then freezes once it hits cold ground
temp on the ground is cold enough to turn snow into ice
cold wind blows across the top of snow turning it to ice
snow builds up and its weight compresses the snow into ice
16
Which type of rock is coal?
clastic sedimentary
organic sedimentary
extrusive igneous
intrusive igneous
17
How was this valley formed?
continental glacier flowed through valley, depositing drift
alpine glacier dragged huge blocks that formed kettle lakes
continental glacier retreated pushing sediment to the side
alpine glacier flowed through the valley causing erosion
