Instructions: Answer all questions to get your test result.
1) Hard-boiled eggs have often been used to model the layers of Earth’s interior. Which choice describes how heat would move through Earth’s layers?
A
around the yolk in the white
B
fromt he yolk to the white
C
from the shell to the yolk
D
within the yolk only.
2) Earth’s crust is made up of tectonic plates. Which statement best describes the movemnt of plates that make up the Himalayaan Mountaiains?
A
Two convergent plates, one continental and one oceanic
B
Two convergent continental plates
C
Two divergent continental plates
D
Two divergent plates, one continental and one oceanic
3) The Great Rift Valley in Africa is a land feature on Earth’s surface caused by the movement of crustal plates. Continued movement of the plates is gradually making the rift deeper. How are the plates around the Great Rift Valley moving?
A
One plate is sliding beneath a less dense plate.
B
The plates are spreading apart and moving in opposite directions.
C
the plates are colliding
D
The plates are grinding against one another along a fault.
4) Convergent plates are
A
dividing and moving away from each other
B
sliding past each other
C
colliding into each other
5) Divergent plates are
A
sliding past each other
B
colliding into each other
C
dividng and pulling away fro each other
6) Transform plates are
A
colliding into each other
B
diving and pulling away from each other
C
sliding past each other
7) Where would be be most likely to see rift valleys formed?
A
at convergin oceanic plates
B
at diverging contenintal plates
C
only at trnasform plate boundaries
D
deep within the core of the earth
8) Where would we be most likely to see the formation of folded mountains?
A
around diverent oceanic boundaries
B
where contenintal plates collide at convergent boundaries.
C
Only at the transform boundaries know as faults.
D
within the center of the earth
9) The earthquakes that are felt in places like California and recently in Alaska are likely to be caused by which type of plate boundary?

Gas pressure within Earth’s crust
B
Tectonic plates sliding past each other
C
Tectonic plates colliding

B
At a convergent boundary, plates slide past each other.
C
At a divergent boundary, plates separate.
D
At a transform boundary, plates move apart.
13) What happens at a transform tectonic plate boundary?
A
Two tectonic plates push towards one another.
B
Two tectonic plates pulls away from one another.
C
Two tectonic plates slide against each other.
