- Q 1/10Score 08.9B The photograph shows mountains in the Andes range in South America. Which statement describes the geologic process that is most likely responsible for the formation of these mountains?29They are along transform plate boundary in which plates are currently moving side by side causing earthquakes and faults.They are along transform plate boundary that is no longer active, so erosion is creating deep valleys.They are along a plate boundary in which plates diverged in the distant past allowing new rock to build up.They are along a plate boundary in which plates are currently converging, causing uplift and steep slopes.

- Q18.9B The photograph shows mountains in the Andes range in South America. Which statement describes the geologic process that is most likely responsible for the formation of these mountains?They are along transform plate boundary in which plates are currently moving side by side causing earthquakes and faults.They are along transform plate boundary that is no longer active, so erosion is creating deep valleys.They are along a plate boundary in which plates diverged in the distant past allowing new rock to build up.They are along a plate boundary in which plates are currently converging, causing uplift and steep slopes.45s8.9.B: Earth and Space
- Q28.9B A mid-ocean ridge is located at the boundary of two tectonic plates. Which diagram correctly models the relative plate motion on each side of a mid-ocean ridge?45s8.9.B: Earth and Space
- Q38.9B The map shows some of Earth’s plate boundaries. Based on the map, volcanic activity would most likely be found at -Location YLocation WLocation ZLocation X45s8.9.B: Earth and Space
- Q4(8.9B) The map below shows the locations of four active volcanoes in the Caribbean Sea. What do these volcanoes indicate about plate tectonics in the region?The volcanoes form an island arc, indicating a converging plate boundary.The volcanoes form a line, indicating a diverging plate boundary.Two plates are moving apart, creating new seafloor.Two plates are moving past each other, causing faulting and magma formation.45s8.9.B: Earth and Space
- Q5(8.9C) This topographic map represents the elevation of an area 100 years ago. At that time the highest point had an elevation of 214 m. The highest point has since eroded a total of 7 m.45s8.9.C: Earth and Space
- Q6(8.9C) This satellite photograph shows an area in Alaska after a fire occured. Which statement best describes the most likely effect the fire had on the river in the 12 months after it occured?The amount of vegetation increased and less sediment flowed into the river because the fire produced ash that mixed with the soil.More sediment flowed into the river because the fire disrupted animal habitats and caused animals to leave the area.Less sediment flowed into the river because the fire heated up the soil and made it drier.More sediment flowed into the river because the fire destroyed most of the vegetation holding the sediment in place.45s8.9.C: Earth and Space
- Q7(7.8C) Water flowing over soil composed of sand and gravel will most likely -runoff into a nearby stream.pass through the soil and become groundwater.form puddles.evaporate quickly.45s
- Q8The topographic map shows the location of a park ranger at Point X when a message is received that an injured hiker needs help at Point Z. Which of these is closest to the difference in elevation between locations of the ranger and the injured hiker?2,050 m450 m910 m3,650 m45s8.9.C: Earth and Space
- Q9(8.9C) Palo Duro Canyon in Texas Panhandle formed over a period of about one million years. This satellite image shows a portion of the canyon. Which process most likely played the greatest part in the formation of the canyon?Chemical weatheringWind erosionSedimentationWater erosion45s8.9.C: Earth and Space
- Q10(7.8C) A house has a well that pumps groundwater into the house so the homeowners can use it for drinking and other purposes. Which sentence below best explains how the septic tank and leach field prevent contamination of the groundwater?Bacteria in the septic tank break down wastes, and soil in the leach field filters out any remaining wastes.none of the choicesThe septic tank mixes waste water with soil, and the leach field holds the soil until it can be hauled away.The septic tank and leach field prevent acid rain from reaching the groundwater and polluting it.45s
