Which of the following statements does NOT describe the lithosphere?Which of the following statements does NOT describe the lithosphere?
Which does NOT describe tectonic plates?
The earth’s lithosphere is divided into huge slabs of solid rock called tectonic plates. Which of the tectonic plates listed below is NOT a major tectonic plate?
Which of the given pairs is INCORRECTLY matched?
How are P waves distinguished from S waves?
How is the epicenter of an earthquake located?
How do scientists determine the epicenter of an earthquake?
Which explains the presence of volcanoes in Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao?
Where are mountain belts most likely found?
If you visit a place in the Pacific known to be in converging plates, which of these should you NOT expect to see?
The Philippines is surrounded by trenches—the Philippine Trench, Manila Trench, Negros Trench, Sulu Trench, and the Cotabato Trench. What does this indicate in terms of the movement of the plates?
Where are most of the active volcanoes found?
Why do most earthquake epicenters exist along plate boundaries?
I. blocks of rock drop-down at the divergence of plates
II. asthenosphere moves due to convection current
III. rocks slip past each other in the boundaries
IV. subducting plates instantly slide
Which BEST describes the distribution of mountain ranges on the earth’s surface?
Which BEST describes the divergent plate boundary?
How is a divergent plate boundary different from a convergent plate boundary?
What type of plate boundary is shown in the illustration below?
How many lithospheric plates are interacting on the map below?
The mid-ocean ridge is formed between the Pacific Plate and Farallon Plate. What type of stress is accumulated in the rock layers that lead to the formation of the ridges?
During the collision of two plates, there is a tendency for a plate to subduct beneath the other plate. If the subduction continues, even the overriding plate may sink and form a deep trench. What causes the continuous subduction of the plates?
What material is most likely to form a subduction due to difference of density?
Which term refers to the moving of one plate beneath the other plate due to the difference in density?
How do you describe when oceanic and continental plates move towards each other?
Why do two continental plates uplift when they converge?
Which BEST explains plate movement?
Which two plates formed the San Andreas Fault?
What geologic feature is produced by the divergence of the Eurasian plate and North American plate?
How do you identify the crack on tectonic plates that are usually produced by a transform boundary?
Which event is most likely to take place first during the convergence of oceanic plate and continental plate?
The movement of oceanic crusts at the Atlantic Ocean floor produced the mid-oceanic ridge. In which part of the mid-oceanic ridge would the youngest crust be seen?
In seafloor spreading, molten material rises from the mantle and erupts. Which of the following refers to this event?
Convection currents in the mantle are thought to be the driving force behind the tectonic movement. Which is NOT an effect of convection current in tectonic plates?
Which of the following explains the pulling of the sliding plate into the subduction zone?
The formation of the new oceanic crust due to seafloor spreading happens in which of the following?
How did Alfred Wegener explain the movement of continents?
According to Alfred Wegener, two continents seemed perfectly fit when placed near each other. Which continent fits with South America?
How does magnetic stripes on the seafloor provide evidence of seafloor spreading?
Which of the following states the Plate Tectonics Theory?
Earthquakes are characterized by shaking of the ground. Which boundary can produce massive earthquakes once they move?
What type of rock makes up most of the continental crust?
