4
Why did he propose this theory?
The continents seemed to fit together like a car
The continents seemed to fit together like an icecream
The continents seemed to fit together like a monopoly game
The continents seemed to fit together like a jigsaw
5
When do fold mountains occur?
continental/continental collide
oceanic/continental collide
oceanic/oceanic collide
6
Why do scientists think that magnetic striping occurs?
none of the others
the seafloor changes
the earth's magnetic field reverses
thee iron and nickel in the Earth's core moves
7
What should be included in a hypothesis?
Independent variable
Independent and dependent variable and control
Independent, dependent variable and factors kept constant.
Independent and dependent variable
8
What is another reason why he proposed this theory?
The same fossils were found on far away ships.
The same fossils were found in far away houses.
The same fossils were found on far away continents.
The same fossils were found on far away galaxies.
9
What is seafloor spreading?
crust sinking under and melting
new crust formed at ocean ridges and spreading outwards.
magma
magnetic striping
10
What is the name of the process happening at D?
subduction
adduction
abduction
seafloor spreading
11
Why is Australia stable?
Not near plate boundaries
A thick crust and upper mantle
A thick lithosphere underneath
12
What is the name of the process happening at C?
adduction
seafloor spreading
subduction
abduction
13
Why do we repeat an experiment?
To reduce effects of random error
To identify random errors and remove them.
To reduce effects of systematic error
To identify systematic errors and remove them.
14
Which type of boundary causes earthquakes?
convergent
transform
divergent
itsurgent
15
What is repetition?
When sample size is increased
When no of trials are increased
When a whole experiment is repeated at a different time.
When a whole experiment is repeated using the same equip't
16
What is the type of boundary that is destructive?
divergent
convergent
transform
17
Which variable is graphed on the y axis?
Independent
Controlled
Derived
Dependent
18
What is another name for factors kept constant?
Kevin
variable variables
controlled variables
derived variables
19
Which type of crust is thicker?
oceanic
continental
20
Why do we increase sample size?
To find an average, to reduce the effects of random error
To find an average, to reduce errors
To find an average,to reduce the effects of systematic error
To find an average, to get better results
21
What type of crust is D?
Continental
Oceanic
22
Who originally proposed the theory of continental drift?
Tricia King
Kristy Davis
Alfred Wegener
Harry Hess
23
Answer: Add all results, divide by total number of results and multiply by 100.
Qn: How do you take an average?
Qn: How do you find sample size?
Qn: How do you find the range?
Qn: How do you find an outlier/anomaly?
24
Which variable is graphed on the x axis?
Derived
Independent
Controlled
Dependent
25
What is sample size?
The number of trials in an experiment
The number of times the experiment is repeated
26
Why do we need a control in a fair investigation?
So it is fair
Ensure that the IV is only thing affecting DV.
Ensure that the dependent variable (DV) is affecting the IV
So it is unfair
27
What are hotspots?
where plate boundaries collide in the ocean and form islands
A popular new night club
sunburn
place away from plate boundaries where hot magma collects
28
After Pangaea separated, what super continent did Australia form part of?
Pangaea
Panacea
Laurasia
Gondwana
29
What is range?
The difference between biggest and smallest number on table
The difference between grams on the table
The difference between the first and last point on the graph
The difference between biggest and smallest number on graph
30
If there is seafloor spreading, why doesn't the earth get larger?
Abduction causes crust to melt and be destroyed.
Sudduction causes crust to melt and be destroyed.
Adduction causes crust to melt and be destroyed.
Subduction causes crust to melt and be destroyed.
31
When do island arcs occur?
When continental/ continental crusts collide
When oceanic/ continental crusts collide
When oceanic/ continental crusts collide
When oceanic/oceanic crusts collide
32
Is it constructive or destructive?
destructive
constructive
33
What is the independent variable?
The thing you measure
The thing you test or change
34
What is this a picture of?

A pattern in the discussion
A pattern in the results
37
What caused the continents to move?
Sea floor Spreading
Magnetic Striping
An squirrel burying an acorn
38
