WorksheetsLesson 3: Development of Features
Total questions: 20
Worksheet time: 20mins
What is the Earth's lithosphere made of?
huge plates
Regions of the lithosphere cannot move up and down.
true
false
As features are built up and worn down...
rock and sediment are moved across Earth's surface.
(a) is an idealized state of balance between gravitational and buoyant forces acting on Earth's lithosphere, which results in different elevations.
What do scientists use the top of the lithosphere for?
define uplift and subsidence as well as up and down motion.
subsidence is the....
caving in of an area of land
sinking of an area due to geological processes
to raise; the act, process, or result of raising or lifting up and upheaval is known as (a)
Rocks can be formed by....
forces from plate tectonics
changes of mass due to surface processes
Breaks in the rocks along with sections of rock are known as (a)
Deep in the lithosphere, high pressure and temperature can make rock more likely to bend than break.
true
false
What can occur at convergent boundaries due to reverse faults....
Formation of mountain ranges due to the crust piling up.
What happens to tectonic plates over time....
change over time
What tends to happen to oceanic crust as plates move and change?
It tends to be melted and formed from magma
Constructive Process
Which of these features indicates a passive continental margin?
a range of folded mountains
a chain of active volcanoes
a deep trench
deep soil and sediments
Destructive Process
What characteristics tell you that you are on a boundary where subduction is taking place?
wide, flat layers of sediment on the continental shelf
a salt dome near an area of subsidence
a volcano, mountains made of rock from islands and the ocean floor
matching patterns of rock on the two sides of a boundary
Which surface processes can be both destructive and constructive?
floods, landslides, wind-carried particles
weathering, deposition, subduction
rift formation, volcanoes
earthquakes
tectonic plates
