Which answer describes the movement of convection currents for the plate boundary pictured?

The convection currents will spin toward one another.

The convection currents will both spin clockwise.

The convection currents will spin in opposite directions, away from one another.

The convection currents will both spin counterclockwise.

When two oceanic plates collide which plate will get subducted?

The older and colder oceanic plate.

The younger and less dense oceanic plate.

The oceanic plate that always comes from the east.

Both oceanic plates will get subducted because they both are made of basalt and are dense.

Check the 2 events that happens at a transform boundary.

Offset or displaced land features, such as rivers.

Besides latent heat and friction, what produces the intense heat inside of Earth's interior? Pick 2 Answers.

Solar heating of Earth's surface

What is the big difference between a hypothesis and a theory?

A theory is well tested and backed by scientific data.

A theory is just a possible solution to the problem and a testable statement.

A hypothesis is the closest thing in science to a fact.

What was Alfred Wegener's best piece of evidence?

Explaining how the continents moved

Which of the following is NOT evidence for continental drift.

Radioactive Decay accounts for 90% of the heat in Earth's interior

Mesasaurus found ONLY on the eastern coast of South America and the western coast of Africa.

Discovering tropical plant fossils in Greenland

The rocks in South Africa had been scraped by ice sheets

Limestone layers in the Appalachain mountains matched the limestone layers in the Scotland Highlands

Which one does NOT apply to Oceanic crust.

Always gets subducted and therefore is much younger than continental crust

Which one does NOT apply to Continental crust.

Never gets subducted and therefore is much older than oceanic crust.

Where does the Mid-Atlantic Ridge peek-a-boo out of the water?

In the middle of the Pacific Ocean

What happens to the age of the sea floor as you move away from the mid-ocean ridge?

Gets older but is youngest by our subduction zones

Why is continental crust much older than oceanic crust?

Because it never gets recycled at our subduction zones

Because it always gets subducted and recycled at our subduction zones.

Because it is made of basalt which is not dense and allows it never to be subducted or recycled

Because it is made of granite which is very dense and allows it to get subducted and recycled

Why is sea-floor spreading so important?

It happens at an oceanic-oceanic convergent plate boundary

What type of plate boundary is sea-floor spreading?

Oceanic-oceanic divergent boundary

Oceanic-oceanic convergent boundary

Oceanic-continental convergent boundary

Continental-continental divergent boundary

If the sea-floor is constantly being created then why doesn't Earth get any bigger?

It is being made and recycled at the same rate

It is being recycled at a faster rate then it is being made

It is being created at a faster rate then it is being recycled

What produces Earth's magnetic field?

Convection currents in the liquid iron outer core.

Convection currents in the liquid iron mantle.

Convection currents in the liquid iron inner core.

Convection currents in the crust of the Earth.

Which one is NOT evidence for Earth's interior.

Seismic waves caused by earthquakes

Which statement is true about P and S waves?

P wave is called a primary wave and is longitudinal, while S wave is called a secondary wave and is transverse.

P waves = transverse; S waves = longitudinal

P waves = primary wave; S waves = Scissor wave

P wave is called a primary wave and is transverse, while S wave is called a secondary wave and is longitudinal.
