Instructions: Answer all questions to get your test result.
1) Where and how do ocean Trenches form?
A
all of the above
B
Where to plates converge under the water
C
Where two plates slide past each other
D
Where two plates diverge away from each other under the water
2) Where and how to mid-ocean ridges form?
A
All of the above
B
Where two plates slide past each other
C
Where two plates diverge away from each other under the water
D
Where to plates converge under the water
3) Name two main items that were matched up on different continents that helped offer evidence for continental drift.
A
Rock structures and ocean patterns
B
Fossils and wind patterns
C
Rock structures and fossils
D
Fossils and ocean patterns
4) List the locations where a volcano can form.
A
all of the above
B
Convergent plates
C
Divergent plates
D
Over hotspots
5) What do we call a large underwater mountain chain?
A
Ocean mountains
B
Ocean trench
C
Mid-ocean ridge
D
Ocean tectonics
6) Explain what is occurring when water freezes and breaks down rock.
A
The water wiggles around causing the rock to break
B
The water expands when it freezes forcing the rock to break
C
Water cannot break rocks
D
The water contracts when it freezes forcing the rock to break
7) Explain how ice and plant roots cause weathering to occur.
A
ice and plant roots cannot break rock and cause it to weather
B
Ice and plant roots put force on rocks and mechanically break them down
C
Ice puts pressure on the rock, plant roots are too soft to break rock
D
Ice and plant roots last for long periods of time which chemically makes the rock break down.
8) List four main areas where deposition can build up.
A
Swamps, deltas, beaches, the ocean floor
B
none of the above
C
Where to plates converge under the water
D
Where two plates diverge away from each other under the water
9) What are the four major causes of erosion?
A
humans, ice, animals, and wind
B
Gravity, wind, ice, and moving water
C
Humans, animals, meteors, wind
D
Humans, animals, gravity, and wind
10) What is the hot melted material deep inside Earth called? What type of rock forms from this material?
A
Magma and igneous rock forms
B
lava and metamorphic rock forms
C
lava and sedimentary rock forms
D
magma and sedimentary rock forms
11) What are the different characteristics you would look for in a metamorphic rock to classify it?
A
if it is chemical or orgainic
B
basaltic or granite
C
foliated or non-foliated
D
intrusive or extrusive
12) How do sedimentary rocks form?
A
from cooled magma
B
from heat and pressure deep inside Earth
C
form when loose materials become pressed and cemented together
D
changes in temperature and pressure deep inside Earth
13) What is a fault and where do they occur?
A
a long ocean ridge on the ocean floor
B
A deep trench on the ocean floor
C
A break in Earth's lithosphere where movement can occur, usually form at plate boundaries
D
all of the above
14) Explain the process of a volcano forming at a divergent plate boundary
A
when plates move away from one another, a vent forms and magma explodes from the vent
B
plates move away from one another to and magma rises causing a volcano
C
plates move towards each other causing great force and magma rises
D
Plates move together to form the volcanic mountain
15) How do plates move at a divergent boundary and what forms there?
A
Plates move away from each other at a divergent boundary, seafloor spreading can occur at a divergent boundary
B
plates move together at divergent boundaries and form mountains
C
plates slide past each other at a divergent boundary and earthquakes occur
D
plates move together at a divergent boundary and volcanoes form
16) How do plates move at a convergent boundary?
A
Plates move away from one another and form volcanoes
B
plates slide past each other at a convergent boundary and earthquakes occur
C
plates move towards each other and form mountains or trenches
D
Plates move away from each other at a convergent boundary, seafloor spreading can occur
17) How do plates move at a transform boundary?
A
Plates move away from each other, seafloor spreading can occur
B
Plates move away from one another and form volcanoes
C
plates move towards each other and form mountains or trenches
D
plates slide past each other at a convergent boundary and earthquakes occur
