• TranSform=Slide

Multiple Choice

The San Andreas Fault is a transform fault. The map shows a student's approximation of where the fault line crosses through the United States. Students were asked to make maps predicting which way land would most likely move over thousands of years. Which map best predicts the likely movement of land along the fault line over thousands of years.

Multiple Choice

The volcanoes of Iceland include a high concentration of active ones due to Iceland's location on the mid-Atlantic Ridge. The reason for this activity is-

• As the sea floor spreads apart, sediments gather due to ocean currents.

• The weight of the water causes magma to rise to the surface.

• The tectonic plates slide together, forming ridge valleys.

• As the sea floor spreads apart, magma pushes to the surface.

Multiple Choice

Rift valleys can form when fractures in Earth’s crust widen. The valley walls slowly move at a rate of only a few millimeters a year. Which of these best describes the type of tectonic activity that forms rift valleys?

• Rift valleys form where a continental plate moves under an oceanic plate.

• Rift valleys form where a plate slides horizontally past another plate.

• Rift valleys form where two plates move away from each other.

• Rift valleys form where an oceanic plate moves under another oceanic plate.

Multiple Choice

The image shows a plate boundary.  Arrows have been added to indicate the movement of the plates.  What plate boundary feature is also shown?

• A ridge formed by an inactive convergent boundary
• A valley forming at an active divergent site
• A fault forming at an active transform boundary
• A volcano formed by an active transform boundary

Multiple Choice

Which statement best describes the geologic process that is most likely responsible for the formation of mountains?

• They are along a transform plate boundary that is no longer active, so erosion is creating deep valleys.

• They are along a transform plate boundary in which plates are currently moving side by side, causing earthquakes and faults

• They are along a plate boundary in which plates are currently converging, causing uplift and steep slopes.

• They are along a plate boundary in which plates diverged in the distance past, allowing new rock to build up.

Multiple Choice

The map shows the locations of four active volcanoes in the Caribbean Sea.  What do these volcanoes indicate about plate tectonics in the region?

• The volcanoes form an island arc, indicating a converging plate boundary
• The volcanoes form a line, indicating a divergent plate boundary
• Two plates are moving past each other, causing faulting and magma formation
• Two plates are moving apart, creating new sea floor

Multiple Choice

The model below shows two continental plates. The folded mountains in this model form at which type of plate boundary?

• Transform boundary

• Divergent boundary

• Subduction boundary

• Convergent boundary

Multiple Choice

The model shows Earth in several positions relative to the sun. In which position is it winter in North America?

• Position 1, because North America receives the most direct sun.

• Position 2, because North America is tilted toward the sun.

• Position 3, because North America is parallel to the sun.

• Position 4, because North America is tilted away from the sun.

Multiple Choice

At position C, which hemisphere would have winter?

• Northern hemisphere
• Southern hemisphere

Multiple Choice

Why does the area around the equator stay the same temperature all year?

• The equator rotates slower than the poles 
• The equator remains the same distance from the sun.
• The equator always receives direct sunlight.
• The equator has 18 hour days.

Multiple Choice

What are the reasons for the seasons?

• Earth's tilt and rotation.
• Earth's rotation and revolution.
• Earth's tilt and revolution.
• Earth's tilt and resolution

Multiple Choice

Students in a science class in Marfa, Texas, made a poster with a diagram to represent a seasonal change in the Northern Hemisphere. Which statement best describes conditions for Earth at Position 1 in the diagram?  

• There are an equal number of hours of daylight and nighttime in the Northern Hemisphere, and the North Pole is tilted away from the sun.
  
• The Northern Hemisphere has the fewest hours of daylight, and Earth’s axis does not tilt at this position.
• There are an equal number of hours of daylight and nighttime in the Northern Hemisphere because Earth’s axis is not tilted in this position.
  
• The Northern Hemisphere has the fewest hours of daylight, and the North Pole is tilted away from the sun.
