3
How many types of waves are there (Earthquakes)
1
2
This is a trick question
3
4
What is magma?
A Hawaiian island chain
Lava
The red stuff in volcanoes
Molten rock that forms deep within the earth (mantle)
5
What are the 2 types of waves? (earth quakes)
S-waves & P-waves
Surface and boundary waves
Theres more than 2
Body waves (S & P - waves) and Surface waves
6
Deep-Sea rock, Igneous rock, River sediments & Terranes are all examples of:
Rocks
Surface Waves
Continental Growth Material
Magma Formation
7
What is a Craton?
an expanse of ancient rock (formed 2.5mya)
a large block of lithospheric plate
Hot molten magma
The transering of heat from earths inner & outer cores
8
Who first came up with the theory of plate tectonics?
Barack Obama
Courtney Kiley
Alfred Wegener
Albert Einstein
9
The theory that continents (and oceans) are embedded on lithospheric plates is
The theory of pangea
The theory of plate tectonics
Continental drift
Baking soda volcanoes
10
What are 3 major causes of plate movement?
Fault lines, Epicenters & Body waves
Slab pull, Cinder cones & Ridge push
Mantle Convections, Slab pull & Ridge push
Ridge push, Mantle convections & Calderas
11
What observations have been made about the plates?
California used to be its own island
They are not under oceans
They fit together like puzzle pieces
They are above ground
12
What are the different types of plate boundaries?
Divergent(rifts),Convergent(Subduction&Collisiom)& Transform
Oceans, Rivers & Lakes
Carbon, Hydrogen & Oxygen
Antarctica, Hawaii & Russia
13
Basaltic, Andesitic & Rhyolitic are all types of:
Earthquakes
Flour
Volacnoes
Magma
14
Where does magma form?
At subduction boundaries, divergent boundaries &cinder cones
In the ocean and on land
At Divergent boundaries, over hot spots&SubductionBoundaries
In Volcanoes
15
What are the 4 types of volcanoes
Calderas, Composite, Cinde cones & Shield
Shield, Calderas, Composite & Focus
Cinder cones, Terranes, Calderas & Shield
I thought there was only 3
16
How does climate change show an example of plate tectonics?
Snow in the winter
We see evidence that Michigan used to be near the equator
Global Warming
California's current drought
17
A seismograph reads which type of wave first?
S-waves
P-waves
18
How do volcanoes and earthquakes show that we have plate tectonics?
Because of Alfred Wegner
Many occur in belts around plate boundaries (ring of fire)
We don't
It's a guess
19
Was Alfred Wegener correct?
no
yes
20
Fault lines, Focuses & Epicenters are causes of:
Earthquakes
Global warming
I don't know
Volcanoes
