Q2 Mini 2 Remediation Honors 2023

Front

What is a Mid-Ocean Ridge?

Back

A Mid-Ocean Ridge is an underwater mountain range formed by plate tectonics, where new oceanic crust is created as magma rises from the mantle.

Front

What causes a sinkhole?

Back

A sinkhole is caused by the dissolution of limestone by water, leading to erosion and the collapse of the land above.

Front

Where do organic limestone deposits typically form?

Back

Organic limestone deposits typically form in the ocean, where marine organisms contribute to sediment.

Front

What do P Waves travel through?

Back

P Waves can travel through both solids and liquids.

Front

What is paleomagnetism?

Back

Paleomagnetism is the study of the magnetic properties of rocks, which helps in understanding the history of Earth's magnetic field and plate tectonics.

Front

What evidence supports sea floor spreading?

Back

Patterns of polar reversals in the seafloor that are identical on either side of the mid-ocean ridge support sea floor spreading.

Front

What is erosion?

Back

Erosion is the process by which soil and rock are removed from the Earth's surface by natural processes such as wind or water.

Front

What is deposition?

Back

Deposition is the geological process where material is added to a landform or land mass, often after being transported by wind, water, or ice.

Front

What is a volcanic island?

Back

A volcanic island is an island formed by volcanic activity, typically arising from the ocean floor.

Front

What is a seamount?

Back

A seamount is an underwater mountain formed by volcanic activity that does not reach the surface of the ocean.
