Fossil fuels can never be replaced
B
Fossil fuels are used over and over by people
C
Fossil fuels can only be replaced over millions of years
D
Fossil fuels are found in an unlimited supply on Earth
4) Scientists are working to develop cars that ruin on solar energy. Why do scientists need to develop alternate forms of energy?
A
People want a variety of choices when buying a car

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