What causes volcanoes to erupt?

• They ate bad clams.

• The pressure of convection currents moving plates forces the eruption.

• Volcanoes form to create new islands.

• The liquid core is extremely hot causing eruptions

The lithosphere includes which layers of Earth?

• The lower mantle and the outer core

• The inner and outer core

• The crust and upper mantle

• The upper mantle and lower mantle

The image shows a mid ocean ridge. What is an important feature of seafloor spreading?

• Mid ocean ridges only occur at convergent boundaries.

• The convection currents in the core drive the plates apart.

• As the plates pull apart, the lava rises to form new crust.

Which answer best compares earthquakes and volcanoes?

• Volcanoes are on the surface and earthquakes are beneath the surface.

• The pressure of the earthquake always causes a volcano to erupt.

• Tectonic plate movement plays a role in the formation of volcanoes, but has nothing to do with the strength of earthquakes.

• Volcanic activity can cause earthquakes

What type of plate boundary is shown in the image?

• Divergent

• Transform

• Personal

A scientific law is different from a scientific theory because ___________________.

• It does not explain why something happens but it can often proven with a mathematical equation.

• You can go to jail if you don't know it.

• It explains why something happens on other planets.

• It is something scientists say to sound important.

The theory of plate tectonics _________________.

• states that the exact movement of a plate can be calculated.

• explains why the outer layers of Earth move and change.

• explains that the Eurasian plate will return to Pangea.

• states that matter can not be created of destroyed.
