Practice for Unit 4 Test Plate Tectonics/Earthquakes/Natural Resources

1

Which of these items are evidence for the plate tectonic theory?

1

The rock in the Earth's mantle is molten which is why convection currents are possible to move the tectonic plates.

1

Which items are related to Sea Floor Spreading?

1

This image shows how convection currents move divergent plates at the mid oceanic ridges.

1

Explain how Earth's surface features are formed by moving tectonic plates?

1

Ocean lithosphere sinks down because it is more dense than continental lithosphere.

1

Draw and name what type of plate boundary ONLY produces earthquakes.

1

What feature will this boundary produce if both plates are continental?

1

What is the name of the crust break where earthquakes form?

1

Label the parts of this diagram.

1

Location X is closer to the earthquake than Location W according to the seismographs.

1

Which type of energy resource uses concentrations of heat in some places of Earth’s crust to heat cold water, generate steam and then electricity using turbines and generators?

1

Match the natural resource to to the concern for using each.

1

Match the natural resource to to the benefit for using each.
