What is plate tectonics?
The process of erosion and weathering of rocks.
The movement and interaction of large sections of the Earth's lithosphere.
The study of the Earth's magnetic field and its effects on the planet.
The study of the Earth's atmosphere and weather patterns.
How does weathering differ from erosion?
Weathering is the process of transporting and removing broken down materials, while erosion is the process of breaking down rocks and minerals.
Weathering and erosion are the same process.
Weathering is the process of forming rocks and minerals, while erosion is the process of breaking them down.
Weathering is the process of breaking down rocks and minerals on the Earth's surface, while erosion is the process of transporting and removing the broken down materials.
What is a volcano?
A volcano is a large hole in the ground where dinosaurs live.
A volcano is a type of dessert made with chocolate and marshmallows.
A volcano is a musical instrument that produces a loud sound when blown into.
A volcano is a mountain or hill with a vent through which molten rock, ash, and gases are ejected.

What is a natural disaster?
A natural disaster is a temporary and insignificant event caused by natural forces.
A natural disaster is a gradual and predictable event caused by natural forces.
A natural disaster is a man-made event caused by human activities.
A natural disaster is a sudden and extreme event caused by natural forces.
What are the three types of plate boundaries?
subduction boundaries, spreading boundaries, and fault boundaries
collision boundaries, rift boundaries, and shear boundaries
oceanic boundaries, continental boundaries, and strike-slip boundaries
convergent boundaries, divergent boundaries, and transform boundaries
How does mechanical weathering occur?
Mechanical weathering occurs when rocks are transformed into new minerals.
Mechanical weathering occurs when rocks are broken down into smaller pieces without any change in their chemical composition.
Mechanical weathering occurs when rocks are eroded by wind and water.
Mechanical weathering occurs when rocks are dissolved by water.
What causes a volcano to erupt?
Volcanic gases
Pressure from molten rock (magma) beneath the Earth's surface
Excessive rainfall
Friction between tectonic plates
How do hurricanes impact coastal areas?
Hurricanes impact coastal areas by causing strong winds, heavy rainfall, storm surges, and flooding.
Hurricanes impact coastal areas by increasing the temperature and humidity.
Hurricanes impact coastal areas by reducing the risk of erosion.
Hurricanes impact coastal areas by creating calm weather conditions.
What are the primary causes of natural disasters?
Geological and meteorological factors
Solar flares and cosmic events.
Biological factors and environmental degradation.
Human activities and climate change.
