Fossil fuels
6) Folded mountains form are which type of plate boundary?
A
Convergent
B
Subduction
C
Transform
D
Diveregent
7) Folded mountains forms when
A
a large coral reef erodes
B
lava layers build up
C
a glacier retreats
D
crustal plates move together
8) Where would you most likely find an active volcano?
A
where Earth's crust is the thickest
B
anywhere along the equator
C
near the North and South poles
D
where two tectonic plates meet
9) Which of the following is NOT associated with a convergent boundary?
A
Volcanic mountain ranges
B
Shallow to deep earthquakes
C
rift valleys
D
Deep-ocean trenches
10) What happens when two plates of different densities collide?
A
the plate that is less dense subducts
B
the more dense plate fractures
C
the more dense plate suducts
D
the plate that is less dense fractures
11) What must happen within Earth to cause a volcano to form?
A
There must be frequent, violent thunderstorms with lots of lightning, which transfers energy into the magma in the ground
B
A mountain must be so old that its insides have started to break apart, leaving room for hot magma to collect inside
C
Hot magma must convect, slowly moving as heat circulates from the core to the surface, and pulling or pushing tectonic plates
D
Hot water under the crust must convect, slowly moving as heat circulates from the mantle to the bottom of the crust
12) What causes an earthquake to occur?
A
the movement of tectonic plates that release energy
B
violet wind and rains shaking the ground
C
underground currents of water flowing quickly
D
erosion moving rocks and soil
13) In a normal fault, the hanging wall slides....
A
Down
B
Up
C
Sideways
14) What happens along a convergent boundary between an oceanic plate and a continental plate?
A
The oceanic plate is subducted beneath the continental plate, forming a subduction zone.
B
Pressure builds up, causing earthquakes to occur in the middle of the ocean.
C
The continental plate is subducted beneath the oceanic plate, forming a subduction zone.
D
The two plates push against each other, producing a fault-block mountain.
15) Which action causes seafloor spreading?
A
magma rising and pushing apart older oceanic crust
B
oceanic crust sinking beneath continental crust
C
two oceanic plates converging
D
two oceanic plates grinding past each other
16) Crust is neither formed nor destroyed along which type of boundary?
A
subduction
B
convergent
C
transform
D
collisional
17) Which of these describes a divergent boundary?
A
Two continental plates colliding, forming a mountain range
B
Two continental plates moving away from each other, forming a rift valley
C
Two oceanic plates rubbing against each other, forming a midocean ridge
D
Two oceanic plates colliding, forming a volcanic arc
18) What does the theory of continental drift state?
A
All the continents were once one continent that broke up and drifted apart over hundreds of millions of years.
B
The continents have always been separate but may one day drift together to form a single continent.
C
New continents are continually being created and destroyed.
D
The layout of the continents is the same today as it has always been.

A
Aristotle
B
Alfred Wegener
C
Pytheas
D
Eratosthenes
20) What is convection currents ?
A
Energy from the Sun heating the mantle
B
Magma in the mantle being heated by the core
C
Water in the mantle being heated by the crust
D
Energy from the Sun heating the crust
