Which does NOT describe the lithosphere?
Which of the given pairs is INCORRECTLY matched?
Which type of crust is the thickest?
Which does NOT describe tectonic plates?
What shows that the plates are moving?
Which natural hazard is a sudden and violent shaking of the ground, sometimes causing great destruction, because of movements within the earth’s crust or volcanic action?
What is the BEST way to locate the epicenter of the earthquake?
Which of these is NOT true about the Philippine Islands?
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?
Which wave carries energy from the focus to the surface of the earth?
Which of the statements BEST describes the time difference between S and P waves?
The boundary Juan de Fuca Plate is compressing against the North American Plate resulting in the formation of volcanoes and mountain ranges. The Juan de Fuca and North American Plates have ________________ type of plate boundary.
What are colliding when plateaus and mountain ranges are formed?
What causes the other plate to subduct beneath the other plate during convergence?
The following shows the difference between convergent plate boundary and divergent plate boundary EXCEPT _______________________.
How are the plate boundaries classified?
Which describes BEST the boundary of a lithospheric plate?
Which describes the Philippine Sea Plate?
Which plate does boundary form rift valley due to tension?
During the collision of two plates, there is a tendency that 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?
When does subduction occur in a convergent plate boundary movement?
Which is formed when a continental plate converges with another continental plate?
Which is formed when an oceanic plate converges with another oceanic plate?
What geologic feature is produced by the divergence of the Eurasian plate and North American plate?
What body of water is associated with divergent plate boundary movement?
Which two plates formed the Mid-Atlantic Ridge?
What do you call the crack on tectonic plates that are usually produced by transform boundary?
Earthquake is characterized by shaking of the ground. Which boundary can produce earthquakes once they move?
Which two plates formed San Andreas Fault?
Which BEST explains plate movement?
Which concepts are mismatched?
Which continents will best fit if their edges are attached?
How did Alfred Wegener explain the possible movement of the continents?
The formation of the new oceanic crust due to seafloor spreading happens in ______.
In seafloor spreading, molten material rises from the mantle and erupts _______.
The process of ___________ continually adds new crust to the ocean floor along both sides of the mid-ocean ridge.
Which theory describes that the Earth’s lithosphere is divide into plates?
Which of the following can you infer from the continuous movement of lithospheric plates over the asthenosphere?
What happens to magma in the mantle as it is heated up by the core?
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 type of evidence was NOT used by Alfred Wegener to support his continental drift theory?
The following continents contain glacial deposits which suggest that they were once connected EXCEPT:
According to Alfred Wegener, two continents seemed perfectly fit when placed near each other. Which continent fits with South America?
Any trace of preserved remains of an organism is called a ______________
How does fossil evidence support Wegener's hypothesis of continental drift?
All the statements support Wegener’s theory of continental drift EXCEPT
An evidence that supports Wegener’s theory of continental drift is that ____.
It is an event in which the Earth’s magnetic field changes direction
Which is TRUE about the polarity of rocks that solidified from mid-ocean ridges?
How magnetic stripping on the seafloor does provide evidence of seafloor spreading?
