4.
What is shearing?
a)
Stress that pulls on the crust, stretching rock so it becomes thinner in the middle.
b)
Shaking and trembling that results from the movement of rock beneath the earth surface
c)
Squeezes rock until it folds or breaks.
d)
Stress that pushes a mass of rock in 2 opposite directions.
5.
What is Tension?
a)
Pulls on the crust, stretching rock so that it becomes thinner in the middle.
b)
A fold in rock that bends into an upward arc.
c)
A fold in rock that bends downward in the middle to form a bowl.
d)
Squeezes rock until it folds or breaks.
6.
What is compression?
a)
When earthquakes happen.
b)
Force that acts on rock to change its shape or volume.
c)
Squeezes rock until it folds or breaks.
d)
Stress that pushes a mass of rock in 2 opposite directions.
7.
What are the 3 types of faults?
a)
Strike-Slip Fault, Normal Fault, Reverse Fault.
b)
Shearing, Tension, Compression
c)
Fault, Earthquakes, Stress
d)
Anticlines, Synclines, Mountains
8.
What is a fault?
a)
Tension in the earth's crust.
b)
San Andreas fault in California.
c)
A break in the earths crust where slabs of crust slip past each other.
d)
When on the boundary of two plate it's called a transform boundary.
9.
What is a Strike-Slip fault?
a)
The same structure as a normal fault except blocks move in the opposite direction.
b)
Mountain building
c)
When plates diverge.
d)
When rocks on either side of the fault slip past each other with little up or down motion.
10.
What is a Normal fault?
a)
The fault is on an angle so the Footwall lies below while the Hanging Wall lies above the fault.
b)
When the plates are in a transform phase.
c)
A break in the Earth's crust where slabs of crust slip past each other.
d)
Compression forces produce on this.
11.
What is a Reverse Fault?
a)
Where friction is high.
b)
Rock that is stressed by compression.
c)
It has the same structure as a normal fault except blocks move in the opposite direction.
d)
This fault is on angle so the Footwall lies below while the Hanging wall lies above the fault.
12.
What is mountain building?
a)
A fold in rock that bends into an upward arc.
b)
When normal faults uplift a block of rock.
c)
A fold in rock that bends downward in the middle to form a bowl.
d)
The Appalachian mountains.
13.
What is an Anticline?
a)
A fold in rock that bends downward in the middle to form a bowl.
b)
An earthquake.
c)
A thing that makes a hill.
d)
A fold in rock that bends into an upward arc.
14.
What is a Syncline?
a)
A fold in rock that bends into an upward arc.
b)
Where friction is high and the fault doesn't move.
c)
A fold in rock that bends downward in the middle to form a bowl.
d)
When a normal fault uplifts a block of rock.
15.
