Mountains are created when....

An Oceanic plate subducts under a Continental Plate

Two continental plates pull apart

What geologic process formed the Himalayas?

two continental plates converging

an earthquake in a subduction zone

a tectonic plate moving over a hot spot

movement at a transform fault boundary

What is the correct order (starting from the surface) of Earth’s layers?

crust, mantle, outer core, inner core

crust, outer core, inner core, mantle

mantle, outer core, inner core, crust

outer core, inner core, crust, mantle

In sea-floor spreading, molten material rises from the mantle and erupts

along the edges of all the continents.

How is it possible for new crust to be formed without increasing the surface area of the Earth?

Crust is destroyed at the same time it is created

New crust is underwater where it sinks

New crust breaks more easily than old crust

What is a mass extinction?

The loss or death of many different species in a short time period.

The emergence of new life species to appear in a short time period.

The emergence of very large species.

The loss or death of a large species.

How are fossils created?

Traces of organisms get turned into stone.

Dead organisms are quickly buried for millions of years.

The diagram shows a section of land that has been undisturbed and includes a fossil.What can be concluded about the fossil?

The fossil is approximately the same age as the limestone.

The fossil is younger than the limestone.

The fossil is older than the shale.

It is approximately the same age as the sandstone.

The time line shows the evolution of life forms during the geologic time scale. Which statement is supported by the time line?

Insects and amphibians appeared approximately 325 million years ago.

Dinosaurs became extinct 150 million years ago.

Birds evolved approximately 275 million years ago.

Animals started inhabiting land approximately 300 million years ago.

Why are fossils commonly found in sedimentary rocks but not in igneous rocks?

Igneous rocks are formed from molten rock, while sedimentary rocks are formed from compacted sediments.

Igneous rocks are formed after sedimentary rocks.

Igneous rocks are not deposited like sedimentary rocks.

Igneous rocks are made up of harder minerals than sedimentary rock.

How are igneous rocks formed?

by cooling and hardening of molten rocks from inside the Earth

by hardening and cementing of layers of sediments

when existing rocks change by heat and pressure into new kinds of rocks

Where would fossilized evidence of unicellular organisms most likely be found?

buried deep within layers of rock

How are sedimentary rocks formed?

by hardening and cementing of layers of sediment

by fossils getting buried in various layers of sediment

by cooling and hardening of hot molten rock from inside the Earth

The discovery of fossilized coral reefs on land is evidence that

the sea level has changed over time

salt water changes coral into fossils

the reefs formed in a freshwater lake

coral reefs can form on dry land

Which theory does evidence found in sedimentary rocks best support?

Organisms have evolved from simple to complex forms.

Most organisms from Earth’s history still exist.

Organisms have not changed significantly over time.

All organisms from Earth’s history have become extinct.
