100
This type of rock forms on the earth's
surface at places such as beaches, rivers,
and near the oceans.
A 200
This type of rock has a name which means
"to change" and is formed inside the
earth where there is much pressure.
A 300
Up and down in an “S” motion
B 200
Bonus 50 points: What is the other type of wave? Are S-waves faster or slower than the
other type of wave?
The point on the Earth’s surface over which the earthquake originated,or the spot on the surface above
the focus.
B 400
Which type of tectonic plate is the densest (meaning it is heavier than an equal size chunk of the other type of
plate)?
D 200
What is the boundary shown below? What is the zone
called in which one plate is going below the other?
D 400
What are 3 pieces of evidence Wegener used to support his Continental Drift hypothesis?
Bonus: (100 points)What evidence was missing that caused his idea to be ignored?
D 500
Evidence for Continental Drift:
• Continent's shapes appear to fit together like puzzle pieces.
• Fossils of the same critters are found on different continents.
• Matching climate evidence was found on different continents.
• Mountain and rock formations match on different continents.
Missing Evidence:
• Wegener could not explain HOW the continents were moving.
• (When the Mid-Atlantic Ridge was discovered 30 years after he died his idea was incorporated into the Plate Tectonic Theory.) D 500
E 100
According to the Law of Superposition, the sediment layers
on the bottom are always:
A. YoungerB. OlderC. BestD. WorstE. CleanerF. Dirtier
E 300
If you were to measure the average distance that tectonic plates move each year, which of the following
units would a scientist use to record that distance?
A. MetersB. CentimetersC. InchesD. KilometersE. Miles
E 400
Magma forms at divergent plate boundaries because pressure on the rock deep below the surface near the mantle decreases. The
decrease in pressure allows the hot rocks to ____________.
