Fold volcanic eruption Fault volcanic eruption Slow volcanic eruption Explosive volcanic eruption 3 / 40 What feature indicates the movement of glaciers on the Earth's surface? Watching and recording the movement of the glaciers The water flow from the melted glacier Grooves and scratches left on the rocks Old maps of the initial glaciers 4 / 40 What is soil composed of? all answers are correct weathered rock living things minerals 5 / 40 The driving forces of tectonic plates are related to convection currents in Earth’s ____. inner core crust outer core mantle 6 / 40 Which of the options below are causes of a tsunami? Underwater volcano Change in water's temperature Rotation of Earth Underwater earthquake 7 / 40 Which of the following is NOT a type of plate boundary? Convergent boundary Fold boundary Transform boundary Divergent boundary 8 / 40 What are the two types of glaciers? Alpine glaciers Dune glaciers Continental glaciers Solid glaciers 9 / 40 What is molten rock below Earth's surface? lava magma subduction mantle 10 / 40 Unsorted sediment or pebbles, sand, clay, etc. that is transported and deposited by glaciers is called: striations abrasions erratics till 11 / 40 Which of these is an example of erosion Wind blowing away sediment Rain breaking down rock All answers are correct Light Shinning onto a mountain 12 / 40 Why is the weathering process faster on the top of mountains than at lower altitudes? because the number of animals and plants is greater at lower altitudes than on mountaintops because wind, rain, and ice are stronger on the mountaintops than on lower altitudes because wind, rain, and ice are weaker on the mountaintops than on lower altitudes because the number of animals and plants is less at lower altitudes than on mountain tops 13 / 40 How did scientists discover the presence of mountain ranges on the ocean floor? They used an echo sounder which sends a sound wave pulse that hits the ocean bottom. They dived in and examined the bottom of the ocean. They could easily see the ocean floor from the surface. They used a ship that captures pictures of the ocean floor. 14 / 40 _____________ plate boundaries are where tectonic plates collide. Transform Convergent Fault Divergent 15 / 40 Which of the options below is NOT caused by tectonic plate movements? Volcano Landslide Tsunami Impact craters 16 / 40 A break in Earth's crust along which movement occurs is called a(n) _______. earthquake strain stress fault 17 / 40 Which is the deepest point on earth? The Challenger Deep The Mid-Atlantic ridge Iceland mid-ocean ridge Antarctica 18 / 40 Why is the speed of soil formation greater in areas where the temperatures can change quickly? the frequent freezing and melting of ice break up rocks worms will be more active with varying temperatures microbes will break rocks faster with varying temperatures plants grow faster with varying temperatures 19 / 40 Plates slide past one another at ____. divergent boundaries convection currents subduction zones transform boundaries 20 / 40 Which description best describes the term 'deposition'? The movement and pressure which causes the shape of the land to change The geological process in which sediments, soil and rocks are added to a landform or land mass The process by which the land surface is worn down by running water, ice, wave action or wind. The breakdown or decay, but not the removal, of rocks and minerals at or near the surface. 21 / 40 Why is the rate of erosion in deserts higher than in other areas? because the sand sizes are very tiny because the water flows at a high speed because the sand is not held by plant roots and trees because the formed glaciers are too large 22 / 40 Which of the following shows a chemical weathering of rocks? carbon dioxide reacts with water in the atmosphere forming an acid that reacts with rocks and changes their composition the wind carries sand and small sediments causing them to collide with rocks and wears them into smaller pieces roots from plants find their way and grow into rock holes causing them to widen and crack water enters the rock holes, freezes, and expands causing the rock to crack; then the process repeats to break down the rock 23 / 40 Wind, water, and ice breaking down rock is called Compaction Deposition Erosion Weathering 24 / 40 Sedimentary rocks are changed to sediments by ____. cementation compaction weathering and erosion heat and pressure 25 / 40 A vast, underwater mountain chain is called a(n) _____. oceanic crust mid-ocean ridge deep-sea trench ocean floor sediment 26 / 40 Vibrations caused by earthquakes can cause large amounts of rock and soil to move downhill very quickly. Landslide Volcano Tsunami Fault zone 27 / 40 The crystals that form in slowly cooled magma produce ____ mineral grains. fine-grained tiny large invisible 28 / 40 Lava pillows are caused by _________. underwater volcanoes fault zones earthquakes underwater tsunamis 29 / 40 What are the types of weathering? Chemical weathering Organic weathering Aquatic weathering Physical weathering 30 / 40 The Himalayan mountain rage of India was formed at a _____. convergent boundary transform boundary divergent boundary hot spot 31 / 40 ____ are formed when two continental plates collide. Volcanoes Mountain ranges Rift valleys Stick-slip faults 32 / 40 The edges of plates are called.... boundaries convection landslide subduction 33 / 40 Which description best describes the term 'erosion'? The process by which the land surface is worn down by running water, ice, wave action or wind. The movement and pressure which causes the shape of the land to change The geological process in which sediments, soil and rocks are added to a landform or land mass The breakdown or decay, but not the removal, of rocks and minerals at or near the surface. 34 / 40 Which description best describes the term 'weathering'? The breakdown or decay, but not the removal, of rocks and minerals at or near the surface. The movement and pressure which causes the shape of the land to change The geological process in which sediments, soil and rocks are added to a landform or land mass The process by which the land surface is worn down by running water, ice, wave action or wind. 35 / 40 Sharp, high-land ridge of rock that occurs between two alpine glaciers. Dune Horn Arete Cirque 36 / 40 Indicate what determines the type of a specific plate boundary. the depth of the tectonic plates the direction of motion of the tectonic plates the speed of motion of the tectonic plates the position of the plate boundaries 37 / 40 A loop like bend in the shape of the river as the river winds from side to side Meander Rills Gully Stream 38 / 40 What type of mountains are formed when molten rock erupts onto Earth’s surface and hardens? uplifted mountains fold mountains fault-block mountains volcanic mountains 39 / 40 How do the ages of rocks change as you get further from the Mid-Ocean ridge? Rocks get older Rocks get younger Rocks stay the same age 40 / 40 Which statement is TRUE about weathering and deposition processes? Weathering is a constructive process while deposition is a destructive process. Both weathering and deposition are constructive processes. Weathering is a destructive process while deposition is a constructive process. Both weathering and deposition are destructive processes.
