Lithosphere, Asthenosphere, Core
Crust, Mantle, Core
Lithosphere, Mantle, Outer Core, Inner Core
Which of the following causes magma inside the Earth to rise toward the surface.
The magma is becoming cooler and less dense
The magma is becoming cooler and denser
The magma is becoming warmer and denser
The magma is becoming warmer and less dense
The convection currents that drive the plate motion are found primarily in which layer of the Earth?
Asthenosphere
Crust
Inner Core
Lithosphere
Why wasn't Wegener's Continental Drift hypothesis accepted.
continental landmasses were too big to move slowly over Earth’s surface
magnetic and sonar data proved that Wegener’s hypothesis was incorrect
mantle convection currents weren’t in motion at that time
Wegener couldn’t explain why or how the continents moved
Which of the following best describes the value of studying geology?
Geology isn’t as important as the other types of science, like astronomy.
Rocks have stories to tell. By learning more about the rocks, we can learn more about Earth’s history.
There is no value because rocks change so frequently that we can’t really understand them.
Understanding rocks will really impress your friends.
As rock moves away from the mid ocean ridge it gets __________ than the rock being produced at the ridge.
Older
Younger
Magnetic
Which theory combined the theories of Wegener, Hess, and others.
Continental Drift
Sea Floor Spreading
Ridge Push and Slab Pull
Plate Tectonics
Which explanation is correct about hot spots.
Hot spots move under a stationary lithospheric plate
Hot spots remain stationary
Hot spots do not move but melt through a non moving lithospheric plate
Hot spots do not move but repeatedly melt through a moving lithospheric plate.
Why are so many Earthquakes and Volcanoes found at convergent plate boundaries.
Because energy is escaping from inside the earth through the middle of the tectonic plates.
Because energy is escaping from inside the earth around the edges of the tectonic plates.
The earth is absorbing energy at those locations.
Because scientists knew that that is where the tectonic plates are so they just wanted to outline each of the plates.
Which plate is plate E?
South American Plate
Pacific Plate
North American Plate
Juan De Fuca Plate
Which plate is plate B?
South American Plate
Pacific Plate
North American Plate
Juan De Fuca Plate
Which of the following would you expect to form at a convergent boundary between two pieces of oceanic lithosphere.
Inland Volcanoes
Volcanic Island Arcs
Mid-ocean Ridges
Massive mountain ranges without any volcanoes
