Question 1
1.

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

Question 2
2.

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

Question 3
3.

Question 4
4.

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

Question 5
5.

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

Question 6
6.

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

Question 7
7.

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

Question 8
8.

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

Question 9
9.

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

Question 10
10.

Label the parts of this diagram.

Question 11
11.

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

Question 12

This graph shows how an increase of CO2 over time created increased temperatures.

Chains of volcanoes link all of the continents
The weather in South America is the same as Africa
The east coast of South America fits like a puzzle piece with the west coast of Africa
The mid-ocean ridges link all of the continents
Which items are related to Sea Floor Spreading?
A divergent oceanic plate boundary
A convergent subduction plate boundary
Continental Mountains
Earthquakes
Volcanoes
Rift
Deep Sea Trench
Mid Ocean Ridge
Graity works as an aopposing force moving plates upward
A spinning Earth slowy moves the plates around
Individual plates float on top of moving molten material and move slowly
Faulting
Foliation
Trenching
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?

Solar
Geothermal
Natural Gas
Biomass
Coal
High installation cost, affected by clouds/air pollution/day length
Nuclear
Hazardous spent fuel, radiation leaks
Solar
Damages/destoys ecosystems
Hydroelectric
Nonrenewable, pollution (increased CO2 )
Renewable, No pollution, Quiet production (direct energy conversion with no moving parts), Works in remote locations , Free fuel
Fossil fuels (Oil, Coal, Natural gas)
Large amount of energy from small amount of fuel, no CO2 release or air pollution
Wind
Renewable, No pollution, Free fuel
Solar
Abundant, Inexpensive, Currently used
