- Q1S10ES36.1. Which is NOT correct about tectonic plates and/or plate boundaries?Oceanic plates are thinner and less dense than continental plates.Plate boundaries are always on move which can be towards each other, away from one another or sliding past each other.
Plate boundaries are surfaces of tectonic plates which vary in their speed or direction of movement.
Tectonic plates are comprised by the broken pieces of crust and the magma below these.120s - Q2S10ES36.1. Where do most major volcanic activties, earthquakes, and mountain building occur?Along the plate boundariesThere is no patternIn hotspotsIn the plate interior120s
- Q3S10ES36.1. What does Plate Tectonic Theory tell about the surface of the earth?BothNeitherPlates are not stable over the asthenosphere and they keep on moving.Crust is broken into several pieces called plates.120s
- Q4S10ES36.2. Which is correct about divergent plate boundaries?They move towards each other.They make the seafloor spread with new materials.They create supercontinents by combining continents.All of the above120s
- Q5S10ES36.2. Which is correct about convergent plate boundaries?They make the seafloor spread.They cannot cause earthquakes.They collide with one another.None of the above120s
- Q6S10ES36.2. Which is correct about transform fault plate boundaries?They create volcanoes and tall mountains.They make horizontal changes on the relative location of neighboring places.They cause uplift and subsidence.They collide with one another.120s
- Q7S10ES36.3. Which is correct about divergent plate boundaries?They create supercontinents by combining continents.All of the aboveThey are made evident by mid-oceanic ridges and rift valleys.They move towards each other.120s
- Q8S10ES36.3. Which is correct about convergent plate boundaries?They can form the highest mountains when two continental plates are involved.None of the aboveThey make the seafloor spread.They cannot cause earthquakes.120s
- Q9S10ES36.3. Which is correct about transform fault plate boundaries?They can cause strong earthquakes like in San Andreas but not in ocean floors.They collide with one another.They create volcanoes and tall mountains.They cause uplift and subsidence.120s
- Q10S10ES36.5. Which of the following is not a cause of plate movement?Plate densityGravityGlobal warmingConvection currents in mantle120s
- Q11S10ES36.6. Which of the following is not an evidence of plate movement?The formation of island chains where new volcanic island is formed above where old volcanic islands were formed.Group of earthquakes were detected and plotted between continental and oceanic crusts forming single plane suggesting presence of subduction zone.The cycle of narrowing and widening of oceans associated with formation and breaking down of supercontinentsLocation of animal and plant fossils in continents separated by oceans can form connections when continents are connected together.120s
