Q2
Dr. Raisa and her team of geologists have been studying GPS data that shows that two plates moved apart. Which diagram shows what happened between the two plates as they moved away from each other?
Diagram D: Soft, solid rock from underneath the plates rose and hardened, adding solid rock to the edges of both plates.
Diagram C: Ocean water filled in the gap that was created by the plates moving apart.
Diagram A: A new plate from underneath filled in the gap that was created by the plates moving apart.
Diagram B: Sand and dirt filled in the gap that was created by the plates moving apart

Q3
Fossil remains of Lystrosaurus (an extinct four-legged animal) have been discovered in India and South Africa. When they were living, all the Lystrosaurus lived together on land, and they could not swim. However, now there is an ocean between the Lystrosaurus fossils. What could explain how these fossils got so far apart?
India and South Africa are parts of different plates. The plates slowly moved apart as new plates from underneath got added between them over millions of years
India and South Africa are parts of different plates. The plates slowly moved far apart as soft, solid rock from underneath got added to the edges of the plates over millions of years.
India and South Africa are parts of different plates. The plates were sometimes pushed far apart by earthquakes, and soft, solid rock from underneath got added to the edges of the plates
India and South Africa are parts of different plates. The plates floated away from each other across the ocean.

Q5
A team of geologists wants to study hard, solid rock under the surface of Earth. The team is considering drilling down in Saudi Arabia (1) or in the Arabian Sea (2). Where will the geologists find hard, solid rock?
neither under 1 nor 2, because there is water under both places
neither under 1 nor 2, because there is sand and gravel under both places
only under 1, because Earth’s outer layer is made of hard, solid rock under continents but not under the ocean
under 1 and 2, because Earth’s entire outer layer is made of hard, solid rock

Q6
Dr. Patel and her team have been using GPS to track two plates that are moving toward each other. Which diagram shows what is happening at the place where the plates are moving toward each other?
Diagram C: One plate is going underneath the other plate and sinking into the soft rock below.
Diagram B: Two plates are pushing against each other, causing the edges to bend upward.
Diagram D: One plate is going underneath the other plate and sinking into the ocean below.
Diagram A: Two plates are hitting each other, and the plates are breaking into pieces, creating sand.

Q7
Similar rock formations have been discovered in Brazil and South Africa. These rock formations were formed at the same time and are made of the same types of rocks. What could explain how these rocks got so far apart?
Brazil and South Africa are parts of different plates. The plates were sometimes pushed far apart by earthquakes, and soft, solid rock from underneath got added to the edges of the plates.

Patterns on this map tell us that . . .
volcanic activity and earthquakes happened in random locations all over the map.
volcanic activity and earthquakes happened in similar areas.
volcanic activity and earthquakes happened in the following order: volcanic activity, earthquake, volcanic activity, earthquake, and so on.
volcanic activity and earthquakes can cause damage to buildings and hurt people.

Underneath both the soil and the ocean, Earth’s outer layer is made of hard, solid rock
Underneath the soil, the Earth’s outer layer is made of water.

Q10
Dr. Bailey and his team are studying two plates that are far apart from each other. However, these two plates used to be next to each other. Which diagram shows what Dr. Bailey and his team would find between these plates?
Diagram B: A new plate from underneath filled in the gap that was created by the plates moving apart.
Diagram C: Sand and dirt filled in the gap that was created by the plates moving apart
Diagram D: Ocean water filled in the gap that was created by the plates moving apart
Diagram A: Soft, solid rock from underneath the plates rose and hardened, adding solid rock to the edges of both plates.

Q11
In the past, Africa used to be farther away from Europe than it is now (shown above). What could explain why Africa is closer to Europe now than it was before?
Africa and Europe are parts of different plates. The plates were sometimes pushed toward each other by earthquakes, and one plate went under the other plate into soft, solid rock.
Africa and Europe are parts of different plates. The plates slowly moved toward each other over millions of years. When the plates hit each other, they broke into smaller pieces

Fossil remains of Cynognathus (an extinct large-bodied animal) have been discovered in Argentina and South Africa. When they were living, all the Cynognathus lived together on land, and they could not swim. However, now there is an ocean between the Cynognathus fossils. What could explain how these fossils got so far apart?
Argentina and South Africa are parts of different plates. The plates were sometimes pushed far apart by earthquakes, and soft, solid rock from underneath got added to the edges of the plates.
