A
scientists
B
mapmakers
C
explorers
D
mathematicians
2) During oceanic-oceanic convergence, where do island arc volcanoes form?
A
on the plate that is subducted
B
form on both plates
C
on the plate that is not subducted
D
do not form on either plate
3) Which is not associated with orogeny at convergent boundaries?
A
highly folded and faulted ranges
B
island arcs
C
ocean ridges
D
deformed sedimentary rocks
4) Which causes difference in elevation on Earth?
A
seamounts and hotspots
B
density and thickness of the crust
C
vertical dikes and pillow basalts
D
uplifted and faulted mountains
5) Organize the terms mantle, continental crust, and oceanic crust in order of increasing density
A
oceanic crust, mantle, continental crust
B
continental crust, oceanic crust, mantle
C
oceanic crust, continental crust, mantle
D
mantle, oceanic crust, continental crust
6) At which type of plate boundary do the highest mountains form?
A
convergent; continental-continental
B
divergent; oceanic-continental
C
convergent; continental-oceanic

divergent; oceanic-oceanic
7) What is the approximate percentage of Earth's surface that is covered by continents?

10 percent
B
70 percent
C
30 percent

continental crust is closer to the mantle
B
continental crust is less dense
C
continental crust is mainly basalt
D
continental crust is more dense
9) When do shield volcanoes form?

B
when layers of hardened frothy mixtures of gas and magma formed by explosive eruptions alternative with layers of oozing lava
