Folded mountains form are which type of plate boundary?
a) Transform
b) Convergent
c) Diveregent
d) Subduction
Folded mountains forms when
a) a glacier retreats
b) crustal plates move together
c) a large coral reef erodes
d) lava layers build up
Where would you most likely find an active volcano?
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
Which of the following is NOT associated with a convergent boundary?
a) Shallow to deep earthquakes
b) Volcanic mountain ranges
c) Deep-ocean trenches
d) rift valleys
What happens when two plates of different densities collide?
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
What must happen within Earth to cause a volcano to form?
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
What causes an earthquake to occur?
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
In a normal fault, the hanging wall slides....
a) Up
b) Down
c) Sideways
d)
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) 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.
Which action causes seafloor spreading?
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
Crust is neither formed nor destroyed along which type of boundary?
a) transform
b) convergent
c) collisional
d) subduction
Which of these describes a divergent boundary?
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
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) 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
What is convection currents ?
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
