Praxis 5511 - Science; Questions & Answers (A+) Plate Tectonics Answer-Branch of geology studying the folding and faulting of the earth's crust. Hydrosphere Answer-All the water at and near the surface of the earth, 97% of which is in oceans Tides Answer-The alternating rise and fall in sea level with respect to the land, produced by the gravitational attraction of the moon and the su

what is the average movement of a plate in a year ~ 2-5 cm what are the major boundary types ~ diverging, transform, and converging what are transform boundaires ~ where plates slide past one another without creating or consuming crust, example: San Andreas Fault what are divergent boundareis ~ where two plates move apart which creates new earth crust, they occur at midocean ridges example: Iceland what are convergent boundaries ~ two plates colliding with each other causing one plat...

A-Level Geography – Tectonics Exam Review 2023 (EQ1) What is the global distribution of earthquakes? - Answer-Most earthquakes = near tectonic plate boundaries - clusters of foreshocks, main quakes + aftershocks. ~70% earthquakes = 'Ring of Fire', Pacific Ocean. Most earthquakes --> destructive + conservative plates. (EQ1) What is the global distribution of volcanoes? - Answer-Most volcanoes = near a tectonic plate boundary. North + South America --> active volcano zones. So...

This got me an A* for A level Edexcel Geography. It's my revision notes for Topic 1 Tectonics which, like the rest of my geography notes, are filled with case studies, facts, diagrams, and explanations. I only used this for my revision for all my mocks and actual exam and got A*s in all. It's also got some extra information that can boost your grade even higher! I've arranged it so that all the information is organised under each specification point, so it's really useful for exam preparation!
