California sits along the boundary of two tectonic plates. One plate is moving north and the other is moving south. There are thousands of earthquakes in this region every year. Which of the following best explains why earthquakes are common in California?
The two plates form a transform boundary by sliding horizontally past one another.
The two plates form a convergent boundary by colliding into one another.
The two plates form a divergent boundary by the two plates pulling away from each other.
The two plates form a subduction zone where the pacific plate goes under the continental plate.
Which of the following best describes the outer core?
It is the liquid layer that rotates around the inner core and causes Earth's magnetic field.
The outer core is the outermost later of the Earth.
The outer core is the densest layer and is made of solid iron.
The outer core is in the middle of the Earth and is the hottest layer.
Which of the following best describes the outer core?
It is the liquid layer that rotates around the inner core and causes Earth's magnetic field.
The outer core is the outermost later of the Earth.
The outer core is the densest layer and is made of solid iron.
The outer core is in the middle of the Earth and is the hottest layer.
How are volcanoes formed on Earth?
Hot magma in the mantle forms convection currents which cause the tectonic plates to push together and pull apart.
Hot water under the crust forms convection currents which generate pressure until it erupts.
Weathering and erosion carve an opening at the tops of the mountains which allow magma to come up from the mantle.
Divergent plates cause mountains to separate leaving a gap for the volcano to come up through.
Which is true about the inner core?
It is dense and solid and has the highest temperature and greatest density.
It is thin and crumbles easily and is made of rock.
It is made of hot rock that flows as a plastic and forms convection currents.
It is a shell of liquid iron that has a high temperature and creates Earth's magnetic field.
How does the heat and the movement of Earth's mantle move the tectonic plates to form ocean basins?
divergent plates?
subducting plates
converging plates
transform plates
Which diagram shows how mountains are formed?
The movement of plate tectonics can cause both slow and rapid changes in Earth's surface. Which of the following is an example of a rapid change?
Earthquake
Seafloor spreading
Mountain range formation
Formation of ocean trench
Where do most volcanoes occur in the world?
Along convergent boundaries.
Along transform boundaries
In the middle of tectonic plates
Under the crust.
Where would sea floor spreading most likely occur?
At convergent boundaries (oceanic vs. oceanic)
At convergent boundaries (oceanic vs. continental)
At divergent plate boundaries (oceanic vs. oceanic)
At transform plate boundaries
What is the importance of studying fossils?
to provide information about how current life forms would exist in previous environmental conditions
to provide information about how life and environmental conditions may have changed
to provide information about how previous life forms would exist in current environmental conditions
Fossils provide evidence of __________.
how life and the environment has remained stable over time
how the climate and weather has remained stable over time
how life and the environmental conditions have changed over time
After reading a scientific paper in 1911, that listed identical plant and animal fossils on opposite
sides of the Atlantic Ocean. Alfred Wegener, a meteorologist and explorer, hypothesized that
the continents were once a large landmass. He then set out to search for other cases of identical fossils on opposite sides of oceans. Wegener published his findings in 1915 (as seenin Figure 1)
All fossils contain the same DNA, showing a common ancestor among them.
All fossils change the area they lived in, showing their rapid changes over time.
Fossils of the same type of organism can be found on continents that are not connected, showing that all continents were once together.
Fossils of the same type of organism can be found only on the same continent, showing that the continents have always been separated.
