Answers
1
What process is happening at location E?
rifting
diverging
sea-floor spreading
subduction
2
Why does convection happen in the Earth's mantle?
because the rock is solid and crashes around
because the heated rock becomes more dense & sinks
because the heated rock becomes less dense and rises up
because there are hotspots all over the Earth
3
Where would you expect to find the highest concentration of volcanoes on a planet?
in the middle of continental plates
in the oceans
in the mantle
along the edges of continents, at convergent boundaries
4
What causes the volcano occur at location B?
subduction
diverging plates
hotspot
converging plates
5
When does subduction happen at convergent boundaries?
When two plates are the same density.
It only happens with two continental plates.
Scientists don't know.
When one plate is more dense than the other.
6
What feature is found at location G?
hotspot
mid-ocean ridge
rift valley
volcano
7
What process drives the motion of plate tectonics?
conduction
radiation
heat from the sun
convection
8
What is true about the size of Earth's plates?
Some are as big as an ocean.
There is one plate covering all of the earth.
There are over 100 tectonic plates.
There are lots of little plates the size of football fields.
9
What features is created at location C?
rift valley
mid-ocean ridge
island arc
subduction
10
What type of plate boundary is occurring at location A?
none of the above
convergent
divergent
transform
11
What is causing the volcanic activity in Hawaii?
the dense oceanic crust
a hotspot
subduction
convection
12
How do oceanic & continental crust compare?
oceanic crust is thinner & less dense
oceanic crust is thicker & less dense
oceanic crust is thinner & more dense
oceanic crust is thicker & more dense
13
Why didn't the scientific community embrace Alfred Wegener's theory of continental drift?
He wasn't a real scientist.
He couldn't explain the force that was moving Earth's plates
He was too young.
He didn't have enough evidence.
14
What type of plate boundary is occurring at location C?
transform
none of the above
convergent
divergent
15
What did Alfred Wegener give as evidence to his theory of continental drift
none of the above
fit of continents & fossil evidence
sea-floor spreading & mid-ocean ridges
plate tectonics
