What 3 pieces of evidence were used to support the theory of seafloor spreading?

Rock formations, magnetic seafloor stripes, age of rocks

Rock formations, age of rocks, WWII shipwrecks

Radiometric dating, age of craters

One major difference between the Earth and the Moon is:

The Moon does not have plate tectonics.

the Earth does not have an atmosphere.

The Earth is much smaller than the Moon.

The Moon is much older than the Earth.

One reason Earth does not have nearly as many craters as the Moon is because -

many of the Earth's craters have eroded away.

the Moon protected the Earth from many asteroid impacts.

the Earth's magnetic field deflects incoming asteroids.

the Earth isn't as old as the Moon.

only occurs on planets that have an atmosphere.

may cause planets to have more craters.

As the Moon gets older, its craters will:

get covered up due to plate tectonics.

disappear because of radioactive decay.

The number of visible craters on Earth will probably continue to decrease in the future for which of the following reasons?

Human technology that protects Earth from all meteor impacts may be developed.

Most meteors that hit Earth land in the ocean and don't leave craters.

There are not as many meteor impacts today as there were when the Earth first formed due to our atomsphere.

Earth processes like erosion and plate tectonics cover them up.

Hotspots are volcanoes that form...

in the middle of a tectonic plate.

at convergent plate boundaries.

Hotspots form because...

a mantle plume weakens Earth's crust.

magma is pushed to the surface at a plate boundary.

water is pushed up to Earth's surface

a mantle plume strengthens Earth's crust.

Which are older - continental rocks or rocks from the ocean floor?

Continental rocks are much older.

Continental rocks are much younger.

Oceanic rocks are the same age as continental rocks.

There are no observable patterns in rock age.

What is the difference between a volcanic island & a seamount?

A volcanic island rises above the water & a seamount does not

A seamount rises above the water & a volcanic island does not

Both the seamount & volcanic island are underwater

Both the seamount & the volcanic island rise above the water

Which are evidence of sea-floor spreading? Choose all.

Molten magma constantly erupting

Compare the age of the Earth and the age of the solar system.

The Earth is younger than the Solar System.

The Earth is older than the Solar System.

The Earth is the same age as the Solar System.

Which observation about the Mid-Atlantic Ridge region provides the best evidence that the seafloor has been spreading for millions of years?

Seafloor bedrock is younger near the ridge and older farther away.

The bedrock of the ridge and nearby seafloor is igneous rock.

The ridge is the location of irregular volcanic eruptions.

Several faults cut across the ridge and nearby seafloor.

This diagram shows the chain of volcanic islands near the Hawaiian hot spot. The asterisks indicate modern volcanoes; their ages are in million years [Schubert et al., 2004; Tarduno et al., 2000]. Which of the following claims about the data are most likely true?

It seems that the tectonic plate on which these islands are forming is moving to the northwest.

The island of Hawaii has the most modern volcanoes.

The largest island is the oldest.

Nihai is the island that was formed first.

This terrestrial landform is called a _____ and was caused by _____.

Crater, the collision of a meteor

Crater, the divergence of two tectonic plates

Rift, the collision of two tectonic plates

Volcano, the divergence of two tectonic plates

Gravity on our moon is less than the gravity on earth because -

c. moon's mass is equal to Earth
