According to the plate tectonics theory, seafloor spreading (e.g. bottom of the red sea) takes place at a ____________.

Convergent boundary

Subduction zone

divergent boundary

transform boundary

Which is not the basis of the scientists in dividing the Earth’s tectonic plates?

location and distribution of volcanoes

location and distribution of mountain ranges

location and distribution of earthquake epicenters

location and distribution of bodies of water

When two tectonic plates collide, the oceanic crust usually subducts beneath the continental crust because it is:

Denser than the continental crust

Less dense than the continental crust

thicker than the continental crust

thinner than the continental crust

The movement of the lithospheric plate is facilitated by a soft, weak and plastic layer. Which of the following layers is described in the statement?

(a)

All of these are findings that support the Seafloor Spreading Theory, EXCEPT;

Rocks are found with fossils from different organisms that lived in the remote past.

Rocks far from the mid-ocean ridge are older.

Rocks at the ocean floor are younger than those at the continents.

He is the German meteorologist who proposed the Continental Drifting Theory.

(a)

What is the minimum number of seismograph stations a scientist must have data from in order to locate the epicenter of an earthquake?

(a)

The thinnest and the outermost layer of the Earth that extends from the surface to about 32 kilometers below.

(a)

Which statement about the Earth’s crusts is CORRECT?

Continental and oceanic crusts have the same weight.

Continental crust is heavier than oceanic crust.

Continental crust is thicker than oceanic crust.

Oceanic crust is thicker than continental crust.

10.

It is the location on the Earth's surface directly above the focus of an earthquake.

(a)

11.

How will you relate the distributions of mountain ranges, earthquake epicenters, and volcanoes?

Mountain ranges are found in places between where volcanoes and earthquake epicenters are also situated.

Mountain ranges are found in places where volcanoes and/or earthquake epicenters are also situated.

Mountain ranges are found only in places where earthquake epicenters are situated.

Mountain ranges are found only in places where volcanoes are situated.

12.

What does plate boundary show the collision of two plates?

Convergent

divergent

transform fault

fracture

13.

convection current is caused by differences in temperature resulting to variation in ___________.

air pressure

color

mass

density

14.

The region in which one plate moves under another is ____________.

rift valley

subduction zone

magma chamber

vent

15.

What evidences do scientists use to support the Continental Drift Theory?

continental fit, rocks, fossils, human beings

continental fit, air, fossils, coal deposits

continental fit, rocks, fossils, ice

continental fit, rocks, fossils, coal deposits

16.

In a convection current, hot materials move ______________.

any direction

sideward

upward

downward

17.

It refers to the name of the supercontinent that consisted of all the present continents

(a)

18.

The seafloor spreading hypothesis was proposed by the American geophysicist (a) in 1960.

19.

Why was Alfred Wegener's Continental Drift Theory not accepted immediately by the people during his time?

He explains that South America and Africa fit together like a puzzle.

He explains that fossils of ancient plants such as "Glossopteris" can be found in almost all continents.

He described that the rocks and mountains at the edges of the continents were similar.

He cannot explain what causes the continents to drift.

20.

What type of plate boundary is occurring in the Mid-Atlantic Ridge?

(a)

21.

The Seafloor Spreading Theory states that ________________.

all continents are drifting.

ages of rocks near a ridge are older than the ones far from it.

hot and less dense material from below the Earth's crust rises towards the surface at the mid-oceanic ridge.

fossils of plants and animals are found in almost all continents.

22.

What is always a characteristic of a tectonic plate?

Consists of the crust & a part of the upper mantle.

Is in constant motion.

May contain the continental crust or the oceanic crust or both.

All of these are correct.

23.

A driving force for plate motion at mid-ocean ridges as a result of the rigid lithosphere sliding down ___________.

slab pull

ridge push

convection current

seafloor spreading

24.

(a)

25.

What happens when two oceanic plates collide?

The hot spot will form.

The volcanic island arc will form.

The volcanoes on the edge of a continent will form.
