Multiple Choice

The theory of continental drift named a key part of this idea Pangaea. What is Pangaea?

One of the ancient animals that helped Wegener prove that fossils from different continents originally came from the same location

supercontinent that existed in Earth's distant past

The underwater ocean range in the middle of the ocean

The hot spot which gave rise to the Hawaiian Islands, among others

Multiple Choice

According to the continental drift hypothesis, the presence of similar fossils in South America and Africa supports which scientific idea?

Animals easily and frequently travel from Africa to South America.

Species of animals probably traveled between continents on natural rafts (such as trees destroyed in tsunamis).

Land bridges once existed that connected the continents.

South America and Africa were once connected together.

Multiple Choice

Who is the person credited with developing the theory of continental drift?

Harry Hess

Galileo

Alfred Wegener

Newton

Multiple Choice

Benefits about knowing information regarding continental drift include

We can visit Pangaea.

mapped oceanic ridges

mapped earthquake sites

mapped astrological star patterns

Multiple Choice

What drives tectonic plate movement?

gravity

Multiple Choice

Earthquakes are most common around plate boundaries.

True

False

Multiple Choice

What kind of diagram would show how three of the Earth's plates fit together?

They would be next to each other and have no space between them.

Multiple Choice

Multiple Choice

Which of the following is NOT a tectonic boundary?

Convergent

Divergent

Sedergent

Transform

Multiple Choice

Which of the following is associated with transform boundary?

volcanoes

mountains

trenches

earthquakes and fault line

Multiple Choice

Which of the following land formation occurs at a convergent boundary?

mid-ocean ridge

deep ocean trench

Pacific hot spot

rift valley

Multiple Choice

Created by a divergent boundary

rocky mountain

Mariana's Trench

mid-Atlantic ridge

volano

Multiple Choice

This area contains over 70 percent of volcanoes and 90 percent of earthquakes in the world.

North American plate

Ring of Fire

Fiery rings

African plate

Multiple Choice

Look at the drawing shown. What likely happens when two continental plates collide?

An ocean trench forms.

Earthquakes occur.

Sea-floor spreading occurs

Folded mountains form.

Multiple Choice

What is an example of a fold mountain?

The Himalayas

Kilimanjaro

Mt. St. Helens

Multiple Choice

Folded mountains form when two continental plates come together. Which plate boundary means coming together?

Divergent

Transform

Convergent

Multiple Choice

Which of the following terms best describes a volcano that is dead and unlikely to erupt again?

Dormant volcano

Extinct volcano

Shield volcano

Caldera

Multiple Choice

Which of the following terms are used to describe a volcano that may erupt at any time?

Dormant volcano

Active volcano

Extinct volcano

Shield volcano

Multiple Choice

Which of the following terms are used to describe a volcano that is has not recently erupted, but may in the future? (aka sleeping volcano)

Composite volcano

Active volcano

Extinct volcano

Dormant volcano

Multiple Choice

What is the difference between magma and lava?

Where it is found (above or below the surface)

How hot the molten rock is (lava is hotter than magma)

The type of boundary where it forms

The viscosity of the molten rock (lava has a lower viscosity)

Multiple Choice

Name the type of boundary found at location A

divergent

convergent

transform

strike-slip

Multiple Choice

How do volcanoes form at
location A?

A is the point where a mid ocean ridge would form. Volcanoes would form here because tension is pulling the plates part allowing the magma to rise to the surface.

Volcanoes form at A because the two plates collide into each other creating a subduction zone.

Volcanoes form at A due to a hot spot being located there.

Multiple Choice

For a solar eclipse to occur, what has to happen?

The sun must be directly between Earth and the moon.

The moon must be directly between Earth and the Sun.

Multiple Choice

Solar eclipses occur during which Moon phase?

The Sun passes between the Earth and the Moon

The Moon passes between the Sun and Mars

Multiple Choice

What becomes visible during a total solar eclipse that is normally not seen?
