Tectonic, Topographic, & Weather review

The image illustrates what type of boundary?

• Divergent
• Convergent
• Transform
• Emergent

As you approach the center of the earth what happens to the temperature, pressure , and density.

• They all increase
• They all decrease
• They remain the same
• They disappear

Which layer includes the crust and the upper mantle?

• Asthenosphere
• Lithosphere
• Mesosphere

What is the correct order from the center of the earth to the surface of the earth?

• Crust, Mantle, Inner core , Outer core
• Crust, Mantle, Outer core , Inner core
• Inner core, Outer core, mantle, crust
• Outer core , Inner core, Mantle, Crust

Volcanoes found away from plate boundaries, such as Hawaii, are known as 

• hot spots
• calderas
• trenches
• mid-ocean ridges

What takes place because of sea-floor spreading?

• Crust is recycled.
• Crust is created.
• The ocean is evaporated.
• The sea floor remains unchanged.

The land mass where all of the continents were once together in one large continent is called ________________.

• Laurasia.

• Pangaea.

• Eurasia.

• Gondwana.

The movement of the tectonic plates is caused by

• the rotation of the Earth.

• convection currents in the Asthenosphere

• the gravity of the iron-nickel core.

• the Moho discontinuity.

Observe this diagram of a plate boundary. One statement BEST describes what is happening. It is that

• the oceanic crust is melting.

• the denser ceanic crust is subducting under the less dense oceanic crust

• volcanic islands are forming.

• the tectonic plates are moving away from each other.

What is the elevation of Y?

• Between 120-140 meters
• Between 100-120 meters
• Between 140-160 meters
• Between 80-100 meters
