Using the image alone what evidence did Alfred Wegner use to develop the Continental Drift Hypothesis?
The movement of Tectonic Plates
matching rock types
The Shape of the coastline
Matching geological features
The light blue areas of the map are more shallow than the darker blue areas, what feature would you find at the light blue areas of the map
mid ocean ridge
ocean trench
Mountains
Island
In the image is an isochron map which color represents the youngest rock formation
Blue
Yellow
Green
red
How does the theory of plate tectonics suppor the continental drift hypothesis
Seafloor spreading along mid-ocean ridges causes continents to move apart
Transform plate boundaries cause seafloor spreading moving continents apart
Seafloor spreading along ocean trenches causes continents to move apart
Tectonic plates are too large to move.
The Andes Mountains is an example of a fold mountain what type of plate boundary and force formed the Andes Mountain?
Convergent boundary, tension forces
Convergent boundary, compression force
Divergent boundary, tension force
Divergent boundary, compression force
How are earthquakes related to tectonic plates?
Most earthquakes happen in the middle of oceanic plates
Most earthquakes happen in the middle of continental plates
There is no relationship between earthquakes and tectonic plaes
Most earthquakes happen along tectonic plate boundaries
Which of the following is a feature caused by glacial erosion?
U shaped valley
V shaped valley
arches
sandblasted rock
Fault break mountains frequently occur along the San Andreas Fault in California what type of boundary and force creates fault break mountains
Convergent boundary, tension force
Convergent boundary, compression force
Divergent boundary, tension force
Divergent boundary compressional force.
What can be inferred about the location with low earthquake risk?
These locations have too low of an elevation for earthquakes to occur
These locations are not located on or near a plate boundary or fault line
These locations are too mountainous for earthquakes to occur
These locations are too far from the San Andreas Fault to be affected by an earthquake
If a city has had an earthquake in the past what can you infer about future earthquake risk?
An earthquake is not likely. An earthquake never occurs twice in the same location.
An earthquake is not likely. Earthquakes only occur on coastlines.
An earthquake is likely. How frequently an area gets earthquakes determines its risk.
An earthquake is likely. However, it will never exceed the magnitude of the first earthquake that occured.
How are volcanos related to tectonic plates?
Most volcanoes happen in the middle of oceanic plates
Most volcanoes happen in the middle of continental plates
There is no relationship between volcanoes and tectonic plaes
Most volcanoes happen along tectonic plate boundaries
The area around the pacific ocean with high volcanic and earthquake activity is called
The ring of Alpide
The Alpide Belt
The Ring of Fire
The Fire Belt
How much more shaking is produced when comparing a magnitude 8 earthquake with a magnitude 4 earthquake
40
4
10,000
1000
What does the Richter Magnitude Scale measure
The amount of damage caused to buildings
The amount of energy released by a seismic wave and the size of the fault
The intensity of an earthquake based on its effect on people
The amount of energy of a seismic wave--ground motion and shaking
Which statement below describes how the presence of Mesosaurus fossils in South America and Africa helps support the hypothesis of continental drift?
A reptile would not have been able to swim across an entire ocean, so the landmasses must have been closer together
It shows that the climates of both continents were different during the time thee Mesosaurus lived
This suggests that South America and Africa moved apart, but India, Antartica, and Australia remained in stationary
It shows that Mesosaurus could only exist on South America and Africa because all other continents were covered in ice.
Which of the following can be created by volcanic and hotspot activity
Glacial grooves
Sedimentary rock
Ocean Trenches
Islands and Volcanic Arc
Which of the following are a result of fast changes on earth's surface
Mountains
landslides and tsunami

faults and plate boundaries

Tsunami
Volcano
landslide
Impact crater

Metamorphic rock
Intrusive igneous rock
Extrusive igneous rock
Sedimentary rock
Which type of sedimentary rock is made from broken minerals and rock fragments?
biochemical
chemical
clastic
metamorphic
What type of rock includes remains of living things?
biochemical
chemical
clastoc
igneous
