Answers
1
Which is true about the deepest ocean trenches?
They have greater relief than the higher mountains
They are formed from ocean crust.
All of these.
They form in subduction zones.
2
How do plates move to form a continental rift valley?
in transform type boundaries
in subduction zones
in divergent type boundaries
in convergent type boundaries
3

How do scientists today explain the movement of tectonic plates?
When heat creates convection currents in the mantle
The spinning of the Earth gives them energy to move.

South American and Nazca Plates
North American and Eurasian Plates
Pacific and North American Plates
14
Which type of
convergent
boundary results in mountain ranges like the
Himalayas
?

Continental & Continental
Oceanic & Continental
15
The definition of a convection current is
When heated particles rise and cool particles sink
Currents caused by cooled particles in the air.
Currents caused by water.
Currents caused by heated particles in the ground.
16
The lava from a volcano destroying a nearby forest is an example of
The HYDROSPHERE interacting with the GEOSPHERE.
The ATMOSPHERE interacting with the GEOSPHERE.
The GEOSPHERE interacting with the BIOSPHERE.
The BIOSPHERE interacting with the HYDROSPHERE.
17
