Review Questions with all Answers verified for
accuracy Updated 2024/2025
Fossil record - correct answer chronological collection of life's remains in sedimentary
rock layers
Plate tectonics - correct answer a theory stating that the earth's surface is broken into
plates that move.
Earthquake - correct answer shaking and vibration at the surface of the earth resulting
from underground movement along a fault plane of from volcanic activity
Volcano - correct answer a vent or fissure in the earth's surface through which magma
and gases are expelled
Continental drift - correct answer the hypothesis that the continents slowly move
across earth's surface.
Seafloor spreading - correct answer the formation of new ocean crust as a result of
magma pushing upward and outward from earth's mantle to the surface.
What are the three plate boundaries? - correct answer the boundaries are divergent,
convergent, transform
Divergent boundary is - correct answer a plate boundary where two plates move away
from each other.
Transform boundary - correct answer a plate boundary where two plates move past
each other in opposite directions
,Convergent boundary - correct answer a tectonic plate boundary where two plates
collide, come together, or crash into each other.
What are the tree types of convergent boundary? - correct answer oceanic-continental
Oceanic-oceanic
Continental-continental
Convergent boundary
Oceanic-continental - correct answer where the ocean plate meets a continetal plate.
In a process called subducation
Oceanic-continental create? - correct answer deep ocean trenches and earthquakes
Examples of oceanic-continental - correct answer mountains are the cascades and
andes
Oceanic-oceanic - correct answer one ocean plate meets another, creating a
subduction zone
Oceanic-oceanic create what? - correct answer deep ocean trenches, a chain of
volcanoes islands, and earthquakes.
Examples of oceanic-oceanic ? - correct answer aleutian islands, island of japan and
sumarta
Contiental-contiental - correct answer no subduction occurs, crust forces upward, no
water is released
,Examples of continental-continental ? - correct answer himalayas
Subduction - correct answer one plate going under another plate
What are the two types divergent boundary? - correct answer oceanic and continental
Oceanic divergent boundary - correct answer mid-atlantic ridge; sea-floor spreading;
new crust, mid-ocean ridge, and rift valley
Continental divergent boundary - correct answer plates separate and causes the crust
to thin so mantle rocks are close to the surface. They melt and create new oceanic crust
eventually filling with water
Volcanoes are commonly formed - correct answer oceanic to oceanic
Oceanic to continental
Subduction zones
Most volcanoes are found - correct answer convergent boundaries
Divergent boundaries
Earthquakes are common in - correct answer convergent boundaries
From the most powerful earthquakes to the least happen - correct answer convergent
boundaries-most powerful
Transformation boundaries-powerful
Divergent boundaries-weak
Ring of fire - correct answer a major belt of volcanoes that rims the pacific ocean
, Why does rock float? - correct answer because it is less dense, if it sank it would be
more dense.
Minerals are defined as - correct answer having a fix chemical composition
Sandstone is produced by sand and silt cemented together, - correct answer which
produces sedimentary rock
Cemented= - correct answer sedimentary rock
Deformed= - correct answer metamorphic rock
Mixture of minerals that are not fixed is a - correct answer rock
Scour a trench= - correct answer erosion
Erosion is the process that... - correct answer transport dirt and rock.
Build up= - correct answer deposit
Subduction - correct answer when one tectonic plate sinks into the mantle below
another plate
Troposphere - correct answer the lowest layer of earth's atmosphere, where weather
occurs
Ozone layer - correct answer protective layer in atmosphere that shields earth from uv
radiation.
