1
Why do earthquakes happen?
Shaking of trees caused by faults
Shaking of the oceans caused by wind
Shaking of earth caused by movement along a fault
Shaking of the earth caused by wind
2
Plate tectonics occur in which layers?
Crust & Mantle
Crust and Inner Core
Outer core and inner core
Mantle and Inner Core
3
How long has it taken for the Grand Canyon to form?
100 years
1000 years
Over 5,000 years
Less than 2,000 years
4
How can deposition help people?
To know when an earthquake will occur.
To know where to build a house.
To know where the ground might cave in or give away.
To know how dirty the water is.
5
What type of erosion (and weathering) moves the most rock on earth's surface and why?
Earthquakes because they shake up the earth
Wind because it's fast
Water b/c most of the earth is made of water and glaciers
Volcanoes because they make big explosions
6
If blocks shifted 4ft in a few seconds what would cause this sudden movement?
Weather
An earthquake
A volcano
Erosion
7
Why would firefighters want to know how much trees & plants were destroyed in a forest fire?
To know where mountains could occur.
To know how many to plant back.
To write a report on it.
To know where landslides could occur.
8
What does the plate tectonic theory explain?
The plates only move in the ocean
The plates never move.
The plates are always moving.
The plates move every 100 years.
9
Which landforms are created from a normal fault?
Mountains and valley
rivers and oceans
Volcanoes and earthquakes
Plateaus and oceans
10
How do volcanoes, earthquakes, and uplift affect Earth's surface?
They create mountains and valleys
They create great plains of rich soil
They create deep ocean basins
They create Arctic ice caps
11
Define arches
no idea
Curved rock formations, formed by erosion
Square rock formations, formed by wind
A big arch formed by erosion
12
In 100 years, how will this butte change?
Very little
A hole will form in the ground
It will be gone
It will be half its size
13
How are mountains, valleys, and buttes formed?
By earthquakes in the plates
By volcanos bringing up magma
By tornados bringing up soil
By uplift in the plates
14
Define geological
Changes taken place to the Earth over the years
Study of of land
Study of arches
Changes to people over time
15
How are earthquakes measured?
Google Maps
Tiltmeter
GPS
Seismograph-Richter Scale
16
Where would the oldest rock in the Grand Canyon most likely be?
At the top
All levels
At the bottom
In the middle
17
How much time does it take to create our landforms?
Thousands of years
Billions of years
100 years
2 years
18
What forces have made this figure?
Uplift and erosion
Off-road driving and mining
Volcanoes and earthquakes
Glaciers and ice
19
Which would be the best way to model the changes to a canyon after flooding?
A tray of sand with plants set along the sides.
A blow dryer set up near a tray of sand.
A tray of sand with water dripping through it.
A long lecture
20
What are signs that erosion has occurred?
Soil-shallow and no plant life
Water--smooth rocks
Tree roots--grow and break rock apart
Ice--cracks or holes in rock or road
21
What are landforms?
Nothing on earth
Anything on earth's surface (hills, valleys, mountains)
Only mountains, buttes, mesas, & river
Only volcanos, mountains, deltas, mesas.
22
What can change the earth's surface slowly?
uplift
volcano
Erosion
Weathering
23
When plates converge what is happening?
Plates move side to side
Plates spread apart
Plates do nothing
Plates crash together
24
Why does rock break and fall in the spring time?
Chemical Weathering occurs--salt breaks rock
Erosion occurs--glaciers melt & break rocks apart
Earthquakes occur--breaks rocks
Uplift occurs--rocks break
25
Which landforms are created from volcanoes
erupting
?
Islands & mountains
Mesas
Buttes
Only Mountains
26
What direction is the block on the right moving, for example B?
Up
Forward
Backwards
Down
27
What can quickly change the earth's surface?
Weathering
Tornado
Volcano
Earthquake
28
What would the earth look like without weathering or erosion?
A rain forest.
A desert.
A beach.
A glacier.
29
Name the 4 layers of earth from the outside going in.
Crust, Mantle, Outer Core, Inner Core
Mantle, Crust, Outer Core, Inner Core
Inner Core, Outer core, Mantle, Crust
Outer Core, Inner Core, Mantle, Crust
30
Why type of erosion force occurred when the mountain is u-shaped & v-shaped?
V-shape a glacier melted, U-shape a river cut through M
U-shape a river cut through M, V-shape a glacier melted
U-shape a rain storm, V-shape a glacier melted
U-shape a glacier melted, V-shape a river cut through M
