transform
5
Which of these is an example of continental crust folding?

Challenger Deep
6
What happens to objects as they cool?
they become more dense
the expand
they contract
they become less dense
7
Where is the young rock on a diverging piece of crust?
away from the plate boundary
near the plate boundary
8
Which are older?
oceanic crusts
continental crusts
9
What process is being shown here?
earthquakes
seafloor spreading
subduction
rifting
10
What type of plate boundary has plates moving towards each other?
transform
divergent
convergent
transverse
11
What forms at the boundary of diverging plates?
trench
old crust
rift volcano
new crust
12
What is formed when continental crusts diverge?
mid-ocean ridge
rifting
seafloor spreading
rift valley
13
What type of plate boundary is shown here?
transform
convergent
transverse
divergent
14
If diverging plates have new crust forming between them why doesn't the Earth get bigger?
old crust is destroyed elsewhere
old crust is also destroyed at diverging boundaries
the new crust just gets thicker so it doesn't expand the Earth's size
the Earth is getting bigger
15
What type of plate boundary is shown here?
convergent
transverse
transform
divergent
16
What type of plate boundary is shown here?
divergent
convergent
transverse
transform
17
Why does old oceanic crust subduct at oceanic-oceanic convergence?
it is more dense
it is less dense
it is hotter
it is colder
18
Why is continental crust less dense than oceanic crust?
it is made of basalt
it is made of granite
it is made of intrustive igneous rock
it is made of extrusive igneous rock
19
What is formed on the nonsubducting crust when an oceanic and continental crust converege?
subduction zone
trench
volcanic island arc
volcanic mountain chain
20
Which of these is NOT evidence that seafloor spreading is occuring?
fossils
crust age
magentic field reverals
sediment wedges
21
Why did scientists reject Continental Drift Theory when Wegner proposed it?
He didn't have any proof.
It wasn't rejected.
Plate Tectonics Theory was already around and had more support.
He couldn't explain what force moved the continents.
22
Who developed Continental Drift Theory?
Charles Lyell
Charles Darwin
James Hutton
Alfred Wegener
23
What is the source of heat for the mantle?
sunlight
friction
combustion [burning]
the core
24
What process is being shown here?
earthquakes
rifting
seafloor spreading
subduction
25
What do rift valleys become?
trenches
mid-ocean ridges
subduction zones
volcano chains
26
Which of these is an example of continental-oceanic convergence?
Andes Mountains
East African Rift Valley
Himalayan Mountains
Mariana's Trench
27
What is the difference between plates and continents?
Plates include oceanic crust.
There is no difference.
Continents are human constructions based on geography.
Plates are natural cracks in the crust.
28
What is formed when oceanic crusts diverge?
mid-ocean ridge
seafloor spreading
rifting
rift valley
29
Which of these is an example of oceanic-oceanic convergence?
Swiss Alps
Cascade Mountains [Mount Saint Helen's]
Alaskan Aleutian Islands
Iceland
30
Which of these is an example of a deep ocean trench?
mid-Atlantic ridge
Challenger Deep
Japan
Rocky Mountains
31
Why is old oceanic crust more dense than young oceanic crust?
it is heavier
it is hot
it has cooled
it has more volume
32
What is the process of oceanic crusts diverging?
seafloor spreading
rift valley
mid-ocean ridge
rifting
33
What is the process of continental crusts diverging?
rift valley
mid-ocean ridge
rifting
seafloor spreading
34
Which of these is an example of oceanic-oceanic divergence?
Japan
Challenger Deep
Rocky Mountains
mid-Atlantic ridge
35
Which of these is an example of continental-oceanic convergence?
Alaskan Alleutian Islands
Swiss Alps
Cascade Mountains [Mount Saint Helen's]
Iceland
36
What is formed when two continental crusts collide?
earthquakes
folded mountains
trench
volcanic mountains
37
Which of these processes is NOT considered a force that moves crust around?
radioactive decay
old material subducting pulls the crust [slab drag]
convection currents causing conveyor belts
new material pushes the old away
38
What type of plate boundary has plates moving past each other?
convergent
transform
transverse
divergent
39
What is the mountain range with the highest peaks above sea level?
Andes Mountains
East African Rift Valley
mid-Atlantic ridge
Himalayan Mountains
40
What is the process of old oceanic crust going underneath another plate called?
trench
volcanic mountain chain
subduction
volcanic island arc
41
What are the sources of heat for the core?
radioactive decay & combusting [burning]
gravitational friction & sunlight
radioactive decay & gravitational friction
gravitational friction & combustion [burning]
42
Why does oceanic crust subduct?
it is less dense
it is more dense
it is older
it is younger
43
Which of these is an example of subducting oceanic crust forming volcanoes?
Challenger Deep
mid-Atlantic ridge
Japan
Rocky Mountains
44
Which are younger?
continental crusts
oceanic crusts
45
Why do we no longer consider Continental Drift Theory to be correct?
It wasn't rejected.
It was totally wrong.
Land bridge theory replaced it.
Plate tectonics theory replaced it.
