Where are earthquakes most likely to occur?

• In the middle of plates
• In the oceans
• Along plate boundaries
• Anywhere on the Earth

Why does the Earth orbit the Sun and not a planet in the solar system?

• The Sun is more massive than the planets so it's mass causes the gravitational pull.
• It just happened that way.
• The Earth pulls the Sun toward it  because it is so massive.
• The Earth is closer than the other planets so the distance causes the gravitational pull.

Some objects like the Sun produce their own light.  Others don't.  Why can we see objects that don't produce light?

• They absorb the light.
• They reflect the light.
• They transmit the light.
• They bounce the light around until it strikes our eyes.

How do folded mountains form?

• They form when plate boundaries diverge.

• They form on the continent side of convergent boundaries.

• They form when plates collide or push against each other.

• They can form several different ways.
