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
fromt he yolk to the white
B
within the yolk only.
C
from the shell to the yolk
D
around the yolk in the white
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 divergent continental plates
B
Two divergent plates, one continental and one oceanic
C
Two convergent plates, one continental and one oceanic
D
Two convergent continental plates
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
the plates are colliding
B
The plates are grinding against one another along a fault.
C
The plates are spreading apart and moving in opposite directions.
D
One plate is sliding beneath a less dense plate.
4) Convergent plates are
A
sliding past each other
B
colliding into each other
C
dividing and moving away from each other
5) Divergent plates are
A
colliding into each other
B
dividng and pulling away fro each other
C
sliding past 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
only at trnasform plate boundaries
B
at convergin oceanic plates

deep within the core of the earth
D
at diverging contenintal plates
8) Where would we be most likely to see the formation of folded mountains?
A
Only at the transform boundaries know as faults.
B
within the center of the earth
C
where contenintal plates collide at convergent boundaries.

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