What is
most likely
to form when one tectonic plate is forced under another tectonic plate?

Fossils of this reptile were found only on the continents of South America and Africa. What does this help us to infer?
Earth's surface was once under water.
Continents are in the same place today as they were millions of years ago.
Continents continue to erode causing animal populations to be separated.
Earth's continents were once closer together.
5
Which is a possible result of plates moving along a transform boundary?
Mountain belts
Convection
Volcanoes
Earthquakes
6
Alfred Wegener developed Continental Drift. Which of the following pieces of evidence does NOT support his theory?
Climates at different latitudes are similar to one another.
Fossils of the same organisms are found on different continents.
Similar glacial sediments are found in different parts of the world.
The shapes of the continents fit together like pieces of a jigsaw puzzle.
7
What occurs at transform plate boundaries?
Plates spread apart from each other.
Plates slide past each other.
Plates do not move.
Plates collide with each other.
8
What is the most likely reason that the bones of a
Mesosaurus
are found both on South America and West Africa?
plate tectonics
flooding
geographic isolation
analogous structures
9
Which of the following
best
explains why surface currents turn in opposite directions above and below the equator?
They are affected by the rotation of Earth. It is called the Circle Effect.
They are affected by the rotation of Earth. It is the Coriolis Effect.
The temperature of the water above and below the equator is opposite.
The density of the water above and below the equator line is opposite.
10
Which of the following
best
describes the primary cause of wave formation?
gravitational pull of the moon
tidal fluctuations
tsumanis
wind
11
Look at the diagram, which tide is likely occurring based on the location of the Earth, moon, and Sun?
Bottom tides
Trench tides
Spring tides
Neap tides
12
What was the theory that new crust is formed when 2 plates pull apart & magma is forced upward at a mid-ocean ridge?
Pangaea
Continental Drift
Rift valley
Seafloor spreading
13
How does temperature affect ocean currents?
Cold water moves fast & will sink. As it warms, up it slows down.
Warm water is dense & will sink. As it sinks, it cools down.
Cold water is dense & will sink. As it warms up, it rises to the surface.
Warm water moves fast & will sink. As it sinks, it cools down.

Students are looking at fossils in layers of a cliff. They found fish fossils in lower layers. What can be concluded?
The area used to be underwater.
The area was once a desert.
The fossils were carried to the area by rain runoff.
