In plate tectonics, what is a Hotspot?
A plume of unusually hot magma that may rise to the crust and create a volcano
A place where you have really good internet service
A section of crust that has an unusually high amount of Earthquakes
A place in Earth's core where there is a high amount of radiation
Make the following statement true:
Subduction zones are areas where crust is ___________, where Mid ocean ridges are areas where crust is ____________.
destroyed, created
wrinkly, smooth
created, destroyed
dense, not dense
At a convergent plate boundary, the __________ plate will usually subduct underneath the other.
Denser
Less Dense
Stronger
Weaker
Continental
Which of the following features would be good evidence of a nearby subduction zone? (2)
A trench
Volcanos
Watershed
Mid-Ocean Ridges
True or False? Trenches and Mid-ocean ridges are just two words for the same thing.
True
False
Which of these scenarios describes the effect of isolation on the evolution of species?
Differences in behavior can isolate populations, such as when groups of a bird population inhabit different trees in the same forest.
They all evolved separately from each other over hundreds of years.
The break-up of the supercontinent Pangaea separated members of a species onto two different continents. Each group evolved in such a way that they eventually became two different species.
As animals that migrate north yearly evolve into new species. Animals that migrate south yearly do not evolve.
The image illustrates which of the following processes?
the grinding of plates sliding past each other, forming a fault
the subduction of one tectonic plate beneath another, forming a trench
the divergence of tectonic plates, forming a rift zone
the convergence of tectonic plates, forming a mountain range
This diagram illustrates which of the following processes?
the divergence of tectonic plates forming a subduction zone
