Worksheet time: 9mins
Which of the following is NOT part of the theory of plate tectonics?
Earth's surface is made up of plates
Earth plates move around on top of the asthenosphere (or magma)
There are 2 types of plates: oceanic and continental plates
Earth plates are stationary and do not move around
Which of the following provide evidence to support the theory of plate tectonics: (Select all that apply)
Continental plates fit together like puzzle pieces
Younger rocks are found closer to mid-ocean ridges and older rocks are found farther apart (evidence for seafloor spreading)
There are matching mountains and rock formations on separate continents
There are similar fossils found on separate continents
At which type of boundary do hydrothermal vents form?
Divergent boundaries
Convergent boundaries
Transform boundaries
Divergent boundaries occur when
plates move apart
plates collide (push together)
plates slide past each other perpendicularly
Mid-ocean ridges form at
divergent boundaries
convergent boundaries
transform boundaries
hot spots
Convergent boundaries form when
plates move apart
plates collide (push into each other)
plates slide past each other perpendicularly
Ocean trenches form at ______ boundaries.
convergent
divergent
transform
Volcanoes form at which of the following plate boundaries? (Select all that apply).
convergent boundaries
divergent boundaries
transform boundaries
Which type of plate boundary causes earthquakes?
divergent boundary
convergent boundary
transform boundary
What process is the basis of the food chain in hydrothermal vent communities?
photosynthesis
chemosynthesis
subduction
divergence
Volcanic island arcs form over:
hot spots
divergent boundaries
convergent boundaries
cold seeps
Which type of landmass does not form at divergent boundaries?
volcano
mid-ocean ridges
subduction zone
hydrothermal vent
Chemosynthesis is the basis of the food chain in both hydrothermal vents and cold seeps.
True
False
Bacteria use inorganic compounds to create energy in hydrothermal vents through a process called:
chemosynthesis
photosynthesis
subduction
seafloor spreading
Transform (fault) boundaries form when
plates move apart
plates collide (push into each other)
plates slide past each other perpendicularly
