Geological Forces and Faults Quiz (Unit 10)

Name three forces and what type of fault do they cause.

• Tensional forces cause normal faults, compressional forces cause reverse faults, and shear forces cause strike-slip faults.

• Tensional forces cause reverse faults, compressional forces cause strike-slip faults, and shear forces cause normal faults.

• Tensional forces cause strike-slip faults, compressional forces cause normal faults, and shear forces cause reverse faults.

What is a ridge push?

• A geological process where tectonic plates are pushed away from mid-ocean ridges due to gravitational forces

• A type of mountain formation caused by the collision of tectonic plates

• A process of erosion caused by wind and water on mountain ridges

• A method of constructing ridges in agricultural fields

• Monocline and overfold; thrust, normal, and lateral faults

• Chevron and recumbent; dip-slip, strike-slip, and oblique-slip faults

• Isoclinal and overturned; transform, normal, and reverse faults

What is a Hot spot?

• A volcanic region where magma rises

• A popular tourist destination

• A type of weather phenomenon

What is a mantle plume?

• A column of hot rock rising through the mantle

• A type of volcanic eruption

• A layer of the Earth's crust

• A type of tectonic plate

How are Hot spots different from other areas of volcanic activity?

• Hot spots are located at tectonic plate boundaries, while other volcanic areas are not.

• Hot spots are caused by mantle plumes, whereas other volcanic areas are typically associated with tectonic plate boundaries.

• Hot spots are found only in oceanic regions, while other volcanic areas are found on continents.

• Hot spots produce only explosive eruptions, unlike other volcanic areas.
