The boundaries between continents and oceans.
Groups of Islands farthest away from any continent.
The central regions of very large continents.
A map is provided that gives information on a certain region of the Earth. Based on this map, at which location are mountains likely to form.

This map shows the location of the Aleutian Islands in comparison to some of Earth's tectonic plates. Based on this information, which of the following is most likely a feature of the Aleutian Islands.
The climate is getting colder.
They were formed by volcanic activity.
The islands are the oldest on Earth.
Earthquakes do NOT occur there.
The Ring of Fire is an area where a large number of earthquakes and volcanic eruptions occur. What claim can be made about the Ring of Fire from this information?
It is the only place on Earth where earthquakes can happen.
It has been getting larger since Earth first formed.
It represents the areas where tectonic plates are the thickest.
The edges of the tectonic plates are moving in this area.
Peru and Chile are part of South America, which sits on the South American tectonic plate. The Nazca plate is moving toward the South American plate. It is pushed downward, which causes it to slide under the South American plate. Based on this information, what feature could we expect to see off the coast of Peru and Chile?
New continent formation
Poor fishing conditions
Deep ocean trench
severe tropical storms
What is a volcano?
mountains that can erupt
valleys at the bottom of the ocean
physical features on the ocean floor
Mountains ranges are....
long chains or groups of mountains
mountains that can erupt
a large continuous landmass
Which of the following can be concluded about an area with many volcanoes and earthquakes?
It is safe to visit
The tectonic plates must be the thickest in this area.
The edges of the plate tectonics are moving in this area.
It is not inhabited by humans.
What is the main goal of the design process?
to write reports
to make charts and graphs
to make things
to find solutions to problems
You try, you fail
you try, you fail
you try, you fail
It's OK if you fail as long as you keep doing this step in the engineering design process...

. Which blue spot on the topographical map is at the lowest elevation?
A
B
C
D
The image shows minor earthquakes that occured during a 24-hour period. The size of each dot indicates the strength of the earthquake. The larger dots represent stronger earthquakes. What does the map show about earthquakes and their locations?
Most earthquakes occur anywhere on Earth with no pattern.
Most earthquakes occur close to the middle of oceans.
Most earthquakes occur close to ocean-continent boundaries.
Most earthquakes occur in the middle of continents.
You are an archeologist who just found a fossil of a shell. As you keep digging, you discover a prehistoric fish. What can you conclude about the age of the shell in relation to the fish fossil by comparing which layer you found them in.
The Shell is older than the fish fossil because it was not as deep as fish fossil
The fish fossil is older than the shell because it was in a deeper layer
They are both the same age
The Andes Mountains in South America contain dozens of fossils of marine animals. How might you have described the landscape of the Andes mountain area long ago? What type of environment was it long ago.
Marine animals lived on land.
The Andes Mountains once were under water.
The Andes Mountains were formed by an earthquake.
Several layers of rock are illustrated in their unchanged positions. Which of the following conclusions is supported by the data in this illustration?
Rock layer W is the oldest of all the rock layers shown.
Rock layer X was formed just before rock layer Y
Rock layer Y is twice as old as rock layer W.
Rock layer Z is the oldest of all the rock layers shown.
A diagram of rock layers is provided. The diagram shows a place where some of the rock layers were broken and shifted by an earthquake. The evidence from the patterns in this rock suggests that the earthquake happened -
just after all four rock layers shown, W, X Y and Z, had already formed.
long before any of the four rock layers shown, W, X Y and Z, had yet formed.
after rock layers Y and Z formed, but before rock layers W and X formed.
after rock layers W and X formed, but before rock layers Y and Z formed.
What is the process of moving sediments from location to another?
Deposition
Erosion
Weathering
Compaction
Which of these is an example of erosion?
Light shinning onto a mountain
Rain breaking down rock
Wind blowing away sediment
All of the above
How does wind weather a rock?
The wind slowly drills a hole in the side of a rock.
The wind smashes big rocks against each other.
The wind shakes the big rock and makes it weak.
The wind blows tiny pieces of rock against a big piece of rock. The tiny pieces slowly break the big piece.
How does wind erode rocks?
The wind just leaves the pieces of rock where they are.
When small pieces of rock or sand fall off of a big piece, the wind blows them away and deposits them somewhere else.
Wind does not erode rocks.
The wind turns the sand back into rock.
What can you say about this picture?
The soil was good for growing crops.
There were many wildflowers.
The land was extremely dry.
The land was lush and green.
A fan shaped area of land built up by sediment at the mouth of a river
landform
glacier
sediment
delta
plants roots grow into cracks in rocks. As the roots grow, cracks are pried open making them larger and weakening the rock (mechanical weathering)
freezing and thawing
animal actions
abrasion
plant growth
When rocks and soil come down a hill fast and sometimes it blocks roads, it is a ...
creep
landslide
slump
Which of the following does not cause soil erosion?
deforestation
overgrazing
growing plants
none of these
