Unit 2 Post Test Question Preview (ID: 40440)

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

a) transform

b) convergent

c) collisional

d) subduction

a) magma rising and pushing apart older oceanic crust

b) two oceanic plates converging

c) two oceanic plates grinding past each other

d) oceanic crust sinking beneath continental crust

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) The two plates push against each other, producing a fault-block mountain.

d) Pressure builds up, causing earthquakes to occur in the middle of the ocean.

a) Up

b) Down

c) Sideways

d)

a) underground currents of water flowing quickly

b) violet wind and rains shaking the ground

c) the movement of tectonic plates that release energy

d) erosion moving rocks and soil

a) There must be frequent, violent thunderstorms with lots of lightning, which transfers energy into the magma in the ground

b) Hot magma must convect, slowly moving as heat circulates from the core to the surface, and pulling or pushing tectonic plates

c) Hot water under the crust must convect, slowly moving as heat circulates from the mantle to the bottom of the crust

d) A mountain must be so old that its insides have started to break apart, leaving room for hot magma to collect inside

a) the more dense plate suducts

b) the plate that is less dense subducts

c) the more dense plate fractures

d) the plate that is less dense fractures

a) a glacier retreats

b) crustal plates move together

c) a large coral reef erodes

d) lava layers build up

a) where two tectonic plates meet

b) where Earth's crust is the thickest

c) near the North and South poles

d) anywhere along the equator

a) Shallow to deep earthquakes

b) Volcanic mountain ranges

c) Deep-ocean trenches

d) rift valleys

a) Transform

b) Convergent

c) Diveregent

d) Subduction

a) Fossil fuels

b) Wind Energy

c) Fossil fuels can only be replaced over millions of years

d) Fossil fuels can never be replaced

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) The layout of the continents is the same today as it has always been.

d) New continents are continually being created and destroyed.

a) Eratosthenes

b) Aristotle

c) Alfred Wegener

d) Pytheas

a) Magma in the mantle being heated by the core

b) Water in the mantle being heated by the crust

c) Energy from the Sun heating the crust

d) Energy from the Sun heating the mantle
