OF THE HAWAIIN ISLANDS, HOW DO YOU KNOW WHICH IS THE NEWEST?

IT WILL BE THE ISLAND THAT HAS AN ACTIVE VOLCANO

IT WILL BE THE FARTHEST AWAY FROM THE HOT SPOT

IT WILL BE THE ONE NEAREST THE MID OCEAN RIDGE

IT WILL BE THE ONE FARTHEST AWAY FROM A PLATE BOUNDARY

How can scientists tell when the reversals of the magnetic field occurred? (THE BANDS ARE THE AREAS ON THE OCEAN WHERE THE POLES HAVE REVERSED)

by measuring the distance between the mid-ocean ridge and the ocean flood band

by measuring the thickness of the different bands of the oceanic crust

by measuring the density of the different bands of the oceanic crust

by measuring the volume of the different bands of the oceanic crust

IN looking at the picture if the top and bottom of the convection cell is doing the heating and cooling, what action is happening on the sides.

the rising or sinking due to different densities

what two landforms can be created at a convergent plate boundary?

mid ocean ridges and rift valleys

A TRANSFORM BOUNDARY HAS A SHEER FORCE. WHICH IS THE CORRECT DEFINITION FOR A SHEER FORCE AT THIS TYPE OF BOUNDARY?

A shear force is a force that causes two adjacent parts of a material to slide past each other.

A shear force is a force that pulls two materials apart.

A shear force is a force that compresses two materials together.

A shear force is a force that rotates a material around a pivot point.

NAME TWO THINGS THAT ARE TRUE ABOUT THIS MOUNTIAN

CONVERGENT BOUNDARY AND COMPRESSION

IN THIS FAULT LINE PICTURE, IF THE PLATE MOVED, WHAT WOULD HAPPEN TO THE STREAM RUNNING THROUGH IT?

THE STREAM WOULD REROUTE TO A NEW PATH AND LOOK BROKEN

THE STREAM WOULD TRAVEL BACKWARDS

NAME THE OTHER PIECE OF EVIDENCE ALFRED DISCOVERED BEFORE HE DIED.

THE MATCHING PLANT AND ANIMAL FOSSILS FOUND ON DIFFERENT CONTINENTS

THE DISCOVEREY OF SEA-FLOOR ROCK PATTERNS DUE TO MAGNETIC REVERSALS

THE DISCOVERY THAT MOST EARTHQUAKES ARE NEAR PLATE BOUNDARIES

THE DISCOVERY THAT ROCK AGE INCREASES AS DISTANCE FROM MID-OCEAN RIDGES INCREASES

WHICH OF THE FOLLOWING EXPLAINS HOW THE THEORY OF PLATE TECTONICS IS MOST BENEFICIAL TO SOCIETY IN TERMS OF SAFETY?

HELPS LOCATE AREAS THAT HAVE A HIGHER POTENTIAL FOR EARTHQUAKES

HELPS EXPLAIN WHY MOUNTAIN RANGES EXIST

HELPS SCIENTISTS TO BETTER UNDERSTAND FOSSIL DISTRIBUTION

HELPS EXPLAIN THE PRESENCE OF COAL IN NON-TROPICAL REGIONS

WHY DO FOULDED MOUNTAIN BELTS SOMETIMES FORM AT CONVERGENT PALTE BOUNDARIES?

Foulded mountain belts form due to the collision and compression of tectonic plates at convergent boundaries.

They result from the movement of tectonic plates at transform boundaries.

Foulded mountain belts are created by erosion of existing mountains.

They form due to volcanic activity at divergent boundaries.

WHICH TYPE OF PLATE WHOULD YOU FIND THINNER, DENSER ROCK?

ROCK ON ALL PLATE HAVE THE SAME THICKNESS AND DENSITY

WHICH EXPLAINS WHY TECTONIC PLATES MOVE?

Tectonic plates move because of convection currents in the Earth's mantle.

Tectonic plates shift because of volcanic eruptions.

Tectonic plates are pushed by ocean currents.

Tectonic plates move due to the Earth's rotation.

SELECT THE THREE PIECES OF EVIDENCE FROM THE DIAGRAM THAT SUPPORTS YOUR CHOICE FOR THE FIRST ISLAND FORMED.

DISTANCE FROM HOT SPOT DIRECTION OF PLATE MOVEMENT LATITUDE AND LONGITUDE OF THE ISLAND AND HOT SPOT

DEPTH OF THE HOT SPOT SIZE AND SHARE OF THE ISLAND DIRECTION OF PLATE MOVEMENT

PRESCENCE OF AN ACTIVE VOLCANO LITTITUDE AND LONGITUDE OF THE ISLAND AND HOT SPOTS

DEPTH OF THE HOT SPOT SIZE SHAPE OF THE ISLAND DISTANCE FROM THE HOT SPOT

COMPRESSION AND STRESS PLAY A ROLE IN MOUNTAIN BUILDING. PICK THE CHOICE THAT IS ATHE CORRECT DEFINITION OF EACH.

Compression is the force that pushes rocks together, while stress is the force per unit area acting on rocks.

Compression is the force that pulls rocks apart, while stress is the weight of rocks above.

Compression is the pressure exerted by water, while stress is the temperature of rocks.

Compression is the bending of rocks, while stress is the time taken for rocks to form.
