Which of these is a result of tectonic plates moving?

earthquakes, the location of the continents, mountain ranges, volcanic eruptions

This is a map of active volcanoes on earth. Why are they arranged in this pattern?

That's where the convergent plate boundaries are

This is a map of recent earthquakes. Why are they arranged like this?

This is where the plate boundaries are

What is the difference between LAVA and MAGMA?

Magma is beneath the crust, lava is above the crust

Earthquakes can be predicted

False, The location can be, but the timing can't

From top to bottom, these boundaries are:

divergent, convergent, transform

Answers

1
Which layer of the earth is a SOLID?
crust
outer core
inner core
mantle
2
Which of these is a result of tectonic plates moving?
earthquakes
the location of the continents
mountain ranges
volcanic eruptions
3
What type of plate boundary is this hiker approaching?
transform
divergent
slip
convergent
4
This is a map of active volcanoes on earth. Why are they arranged in this pattern?
That's where the crust is the thinnest
Volcanoes are organisms that reproduce new ones nearby
That's where there's magma beneath the crust
That's where the convergent plate boundaries are
5
This is a map of recent earthquakes. Why are they arranged like this?
This is where the siesmographs are
Random luck, I guess
Eartquakes are everywhere, this is just where people noticed
This is where the plate boundaries are
6
What is the difference between LAVA and MAGMA?
Magma is solid, lava is liquid
Magma is liquid, lava is solid
Lava is beneath the crust, magma is above the crust
Magma is beneath the crust, lava is above the crust
7
The idea that the earth's plates are moving slowly every year is called "Plate Tectonics," or:
continental drift
Pangea
Richter's Theory
seismology
8
The earth's THINNEST layer is the
inner core
mantle
crust
outer core
9
Earthquakes can be predicted
False
True
The timing can be, but the location can't
The location can be, but the timing can't
10
From top to bottom, these boundaries are:
divergent, transform, convergent
convergent, divergent, transform
transform, convergent, divergent
divergent, convergent, transform
11
Which is NOT a type of tectonic plate boundary?
emergent
transform
divergent
convergent
12
Why is this volcano erupting?
Two plates are converging
Because that's just what volcanoes do
Two plates are slipping past each other
Two plates are diverging
