How were the plates of the Earth's crust formed?
Exogenic forces caused faults in the Earth's crust
Endogenic forces caused trenches in the Earth's crust
Exogenic forces caused movements in the Earth's crust
Endogenic forces caused faults in the Earth's crust
14
Why is it dangerous when a nuclear power station explodes?
There is no need to panic!
Radiation is released that is harmful to our health.
Because of the tidal wave
15
Why do yo hardly notice a tsunami when you are on a ship?
At sea, the wave is very high.
At sea, the wave is very turbulent
At sea, the wave is very long but not very high.
At sea their is no wave
16
What is the effect of the air that is rising?
It evaporates
Condensates and forms clouds where heavy rainshowers develop
That's the eye of the hurricane, where is windy and cloudy
Condensates and forms no clouds where no rainshowers develop
17
Which two characteristics of typhoons does the map show?
the path and the category
the category and the force
the path and the force
the origin and the force
18
Which concept belongs to the right picture?
Transform movement
Divergent movement
Convergent movement
19
Three characteristics of hurricanes that cause a lot of damage.
1. windspeed 2. rain 3. long waves
1. windless 2. rain 3. low waves
1. windspeed 2. landslide 3. high waves

20
Which two plate types are there?
only continental plates
oceanic en earth plates].
oceanic and continental plates
sea en continental plates
21
Why does one plate dive under another plate?
One plate is thinner than the other plate
One plate is lighter than the other plate
One plate is ticker than the other plate
One plate is heavier than the other plate
22
