Sedimentary
Metamorphic
All 3
Igneous
3
What type of surface feature would we find at this boundary?
rift valleys
volcanoes
tall mountains
island arcs
4
Which type of plate boundary created the Himalayas?
Ocean-Ocean convergent
Continental-Continental Convergent
Transform
Ocean-Continental Convergent
5
What type of motion is described by the graph?
A plane taking off and landing
A plane landing
A plane taking off
going backwards to start
6
What did Alfred Wegener call the "super continent" where all landmasses were joined together?
Super Max Plus
Pangaea
Asthenosphere
Megalithic
7
Which surface feature is found on the Earth at a transform boundary?
trenches
faults
subduction zone
volcanoes
8
Which type of plate boundary is pictured below?
transform
confounding
convergent
divergent
9
What geologic event is occurring at the Mid-Ocean Ridge?
Volcanoes
Tsunamis
Subduction
New crust is formed
10

11
What geologic activity was discovered by Harry Hess along the Mid-Ocean Ridge?
SONAR
sea-floor spreading
volcanoes
mountain building
12
Why is Alfred Wegener important to geology?
He had the theory of continental drift
He discovered sea-floor spreading
He mapped the ocean floor using SONAR
he came up with plate tectonics
13
This island arc would be found at what type of plate boundary?
Oceanic-Continental Convergent
Divergent
Oceanic-Oceanic Convergent
Continental-Continental Convergent
14
What force drags the tectonic plate along?
Mid-ocean ridges
Subduction
Island arcs
convection currents in the mantle
15
What geologic event occurs along the San Andreas fault?
earthquakes
tall mountains
subduction
trenches
16
What happens when two oceanic plates converge?
Ocean plates only move away from each other
They cause glaciers
One plate is subducted under the other & crust is destroyed
They crash into each other and create mountains
17
Which plate boundary is described as two plates coming together to build mountains?
Convergent
Transform
Divergent
ocean to ocean
18
What evidence supported the Theory of Continental Drift? (The idea that the continents moved)
Continental, Transform, and Divergent
Climate, Weather, and Hydraulics
Landform, Planetary, and Polar
Fossils, Landforms, and Climate
19
At what type of boundary would this new crust be formed?
convergent
divergent
confounding
transform
20
Name the type of plate boundary shown in the picture.
Convergent
Transform
Divergent
Confounding
21
What type of plate boundary is shown below?
divergent
convergent
confounding
transform
22
Why is Ocean crust subducted under (sinks below) Continental Crust?
it floats
it is lighter
it is less dense
it is more dense
23
i am.............
ice queen
ice king
icee king
long nose
24
What surface feature is found at a divergent boundary?
subduction zones
tall mountains
trenches
rift valleys
25
Which boundary creates new crust?
colliding
divergent
transform
convergent
26
Who was the scientist who discovered sea-floor spreading, the "how" of plate tectonics?
Alfred Hitchcock
Alfred Wegener
Harry Styles
Harry Hess
27
In which layer of the Earth are the convection currents responsible for plate tectonics?
lithosphere
outer core
mantle
inner core
