Earth layers and Tectonic plates

The................ is the most external layer of the Earth.

• Crust

• Mantle

• Inner core

• Outer core

The .......... is made out of partially molten rocks.

• Crust

• Mantle

• Inner core

• Outer core

Which of the following alternatives is NOT explained by the movement of tectonic plates?

• Earthquakes

• Volcanic activity

• Weather

• Differences in earth’s relief

When two plate boundaries are moving towards each other, they are called:

• Divergent boundaries

• Convergen boundaries

• Seismic

  boundaries

• Transformant

  boundaries

What are these types of plate boundaries called?

• Divergent boundaries

• Convergent boundaries

• Seismic

  boundaries

• Transformant

  boundaries

The fracture zone that forms a transform plate boundary is known as a:

• Transform

  fault

• Convergent

  fault

• Divergent

  fault

• Volcanic

  fault

In this type of boundary, a plate gets under the other and lifts it.

• Obduction boundary

• Divergent boundary

• Transformant boundary

• Subduction boundary

True or false:

Heat moves matter

• TRUE

• FALSE

True or false:

Every tectonic plate moves independent from each other.

• FALSE

• TRUE

What is the difference between CONTINENTAL CRUST and OCEANIC CRUST?

• Oceanic crust is beneath the continents while continental crust is under the oceans.

• Oceanic crust is part of the mantle while continental crust is part of the outer core.

• Continental crust is above the continents while continental crust is under the oceans.

• Continental crust is beneath the continents while oceanic crust is under the oceans.
