Earth's Movement Review

What plate boundary feature is shown in the image?

• a ridge formed by an inactive convergent boundary

• a fault forming at an active transform boundary

• a volcano formed by an active transform boundary

• a mid-ocean ridge formed at a convergent boundary

What do these volcanoes indicate about plate tectonics in the region shown?

• Two plates are moving apart which creates new seafloor

• The volcanoes form a line, which indicates a diverging plate boundary

• The volcanoes form an island arc, which indicates a converging plate boundary

• Two plates are moving past each other, which cause faults and magma to form

What height in meters must a person clib starting at point X in order to reach the top of the hill?

• 50 meters

• 250 meters

• 253 meters

• 300 meters

Which area of the coastline has most likely experienced the greatest effect of erosion from waves over hundreds of years?

• Area N

• Area P

• Area S

• Area T

What crustal features will form when the two plates shown above collide?

• Deep ocean ridges

• Mountains

• Transform fault boundaries

• Trenches

What type of plate movement causes earthquakes along the San Andreas Fault?

• 
• 
• 
• 

What is the energy source for the activity of faults like the one shown below, which can result in devasting earthquakes?

• potential energy that has built up in rocks over time

• potential energy from weathering forces

• kinetic energy released from erupting volcanoes

• kinetic energy that accumulates from friction

Which of the following statements give the best explanation of movement in Earth's tectonic plates?

• The convection currents originating in the mantle cause plate movement

• The convection currents originating in the inner core cause plate movement

• The conduction currents originating in the mantle cause plate movement

• the conduction currents originating in the inner core cause plate movement
