2nd Quarter Summative Test

An ocean basin formed a narrow, irregular

seas with young mountains. What stage if the Wilson

Cycle was exhibit?

• Juvenile

• Mature

• Suturing

• Terminal

Phenomenon in which materials erupt form

earth’s interior into the surface

• exogenic process

• volcanism

• endogenic process

• metamorphism

How do exogenic process like weathering and

erosion shape landscapes overtime and what role does

gravity play in these processes?

• Weathering breaks down rocks and gravity moves the

  debris downhill, reshaping landscapes

• Gravity works against erosion, keeping landscapes

  stables

• Exogenic process create new landforms by building up

  material in earth’s surface

• Erosion is driven by magnetic forces which align

  particles on the earth surface

Which scientist from the 1960s is credited for

proposing the theory of seafloor spreading?

• Albert Einstein

• Alfred Wegener

• James Hutton

• Harry Hess

Mountains are result of high impact stress

caused when two plates collided?

• Compressional stress

• Direct stress

• Direct stress

• Tensional stress

The process which occur on the earth surface

• exogenic process

• volcanism

• endogenic process

• metamorphism

Which of the following best describes

weathering?

• The process by which rocks are exposed to severe

  weather

• The process by which rocks are formed by heat and

  pressure

• The process by which rocks are chemically

  strengthened due to exposure to heat and pressure

• The physical or chemical process by which rocks are

  broken down

In which stage of ocean basin formation does

divergence occur?

• Juvenile and Mature

• Embryonic and Juvenile

• Mature and Declining

• Terminal and Suturing

What geological phenomenon is responsible

for the formation of folds and faults?

• erosion

• metamorphism

• plate tectonics

• volcanism

During the early stage of the Wilson

Cycle, continental crust begins to thin and break

apart. What geologic feature is most likely to form?

• Subduction zone

• Rift valley

• Fold mountain range

• Ocean Trench
