Cycle 3 revision

What type of plate boundary is this?

• Constructive plate boundary

• Conservative plate boundary

• Divergent plate boundary

• Distructive plate boundary

What is a constructive plate boundary?

• A constructive plate boundary is where tectonic plates collide, causing earthquakes.
• A constructive plate boundary is where tectonic plates slide past each other without creating new crust.
• A constructive plate boundary is where tectonic plates move apart, allowing new crust to form from rising magma.
• A constructive plate boundary is where tectonic plates move downward, leading to volcanic eruptions.

Which is the correct description of a shield volcano?

• A shield volcano has broad, gentle slopes formed by low-viscosity lava flows.
• A shield volcano is characterized by explosive eruptions and ash clouds.
• A shield volcano has steep, conical slopes formed by thick lava flows.
• A shield volcano is primarily made up of solid rock and lacks lava flows.

Which is the correct description of a composite volcano?

• A composite volcano is a steep, layered volcano formed from explosive eruptions of viscous lava, ash, and tephra.
• A composite volcano is a volcano that forms exclusively from the accumulation of sedimentary rocks.
• A composite volcano is a flat, shield-shaped volcano formed from gentle lava flows.
• A composite volcano is a small, cone-shaped volcano that erupts only gas and steam.

What is the correct definition of weather?

• Weather is the study of geological formations and their impact on the environment.
• Weather is the short-term state of the atmosphere at a specific time and place.
• Weather refers to the climate of a region over many years.
• Weather is the long-term average of atmospheric conditions.

What is the correct definition of climate?

• Climate is the daily temperature in a region.
• Climate refers to the current weather conditions.
• Climate is the seasonal variation of weather patterns.

Which greenhouse gas contributes most to climate change?

• Methane (CH4)
• Nitrous oxide (N2O)
• Ozone (O3)
• Carbon dioxide (CO2)

What are the three variables on a climate graph?

• Temperature, precipitation, and month

• Air pressure, cloud cover, and season
• Soil type, vegetation, and sunlight
• Humidity, wind speed, and altitude

Which of these statements about Antarctica or not true?

• Antarctica is the coldest continent on Earth.
• Antarctica has a tropical climate.
• Antarctica is home to a variety of wildlife including penguins.
• Antarctica is a desert with very little precipitation.
