Near which geologic structure are the youngest rocks on Earth found?
transform fault boundary
two plates are colliding together
the oldest rocks are in the continental crust
convergent boundary between two continental plates
active volcano
igneous
they contain uranium
earthquakes
A piece of rock is found to be less dense than water. Analysis of the rock shows that it has small holes throughout it, likely the result of the rapid escape of gases from the source of the rock. What type of rock is this most likely to be?
transform fault boundary
two plates are colliding together
the oldest rocks are in the continental crust
convergent boundary between two continental plates
active volcano
igneous
they contain uranium
earthquakes
A tectonic plate boundary that occurs when two plates grind past each other without the production or destruction of lithosphere is a __________.
transform fault boundary
two plates are colliding together
the oldest rocks are in the continental crust
convergent boundary between two continental plates
active volcano
igneous
they contain uranium
earthquakes
Active fault lines, such as the San Andreas Fault in California, are MOST often the cause of which of the following natural hazards?
transform fault boundary
two plates are colliding together
the oldest rocks are in the continental crust
convergent boundary between two continental plates
active volcano
igneous
they contain uranium
earthquakes
Oceanic crust is denser than continental crust. So when the two meet, oceanic crust subducts under continental crust. This fact BEST supports which claim?
transform fault boundary
two plates are colliding together
the oldest rocks are in the continental crust
convergent boundary between two continental plates
active volcano
igneous
they contain uranium
earthquakes
What is happening when an earthquake occurs on a convergent plate boundary?
transform fault boundary
two plates are colliding together
the oldest rocks are in the continental crust
convergent boundary between two continental plates
active volcano
igneous
they contain uranium
earthquakes
Some of the oldest rock fragments on Earth’s surface are in Western Australia. The rock fragments contain zircon crystals which enabled scientists to date the rock. Which claim is MOST likely true about zircon crystals?

the oldest rocks are in the continental crust
convergent boundary between two continental plates
active volcano
igneous
they contain uranium
earthquakes
