1. What is continental drift
The hypothesis that earth is made of tectonic plates
The hypothesis that tectonic plates are rapidly changing
The hypothesis that tectonic plates drift relative to each other
The hypothesis that convection currents create tectonic plates
2. Convergent vs. Divergent boundary, which of these is true?
convergent boundaries also known as destructive, divergent boundaries also known as constructive
Convergent boundaries create new lithosphere plates, divergent boundaries don't
Divergent boundaries create subduction
Convergent boundaries create rift valleys
3. "I am when two plates slide against each other, creating friction which can lead to earthquakes. I am also known as a conserve boundary. What am I?"
Tectonic weathering
Intrusive volcanic eruption
Rift valley
Transform boundary
4. What are faults?
Issues with the planet
a crack in rock
a crack in the lithosphere
a crack in the extrusive magma
5. What is subduction?
When an oceanic plate sinks under a continental plate
When sedimentary rock is subducted under the earth, becoming metamorphic rock
When elements are subducted together using chemical fusion into minerals
When older fossils get pulled under the earth and newer matter is found at the surface
6. What is a rift NOT?
A cause of rift valleys
The splitting apart of plates
A cause of climate change
A cause for earthquakes
7. "a large plume of hot mantle material rising from deep within the Earth"
Plate anomaly
Hot spot
Anomaly spot
Hot anomaly
8. Primary vs. Secondary waves (P-waves), (S-waves), which is FALSE
Primary waves are faster, S- waves are slower
Primary waves move back and forth like a slinky, secondary waves move up and down (PERPENDICULAR TO THE EARTH"S SURFACE) like a jump rope being waved around by an uncoordinated toddler
Primary waves can only travel through solids, S- waves can travel through anything
Primary waves arrive first, S-waves arrive second
9. "An elastic wave in the earth produced by an earthquake or other means, which can travel thru the earth."
Surface waves
Radio waves
Body waves
Seismic waves
10. Magnitude
How strong something is
How weak something is
How thick something is
How narrow something is
11. "I measure the force and duration of earthquakes."
Paragraph
Anemometer
Barometer
Seismograph
12. What are tsunamis?
Japanese for 'earthquake', a type of earthquake known for its speed of P-waves
Regions that are volatile and earthquake-prone
Giant waves caused by earthquakes and volcanoes under the sea
Large undersea faults in the oceanic crust
13. "The scale used to measure the strength of earthquakes, ranging from 1 (not felt, common), to 5 (moderate, some property damage), to 10 (devastating destruction and loss of life)"
Darwin scale
Ryland scale
Richter scale
Ewing scale
14. What are surface waves
Waves that reach the surface of the ocean and cause tsunamis
Waves that reach the surface of the earth and travel along it
Waves that travel along the 'surface' of the outer mantle
Waves that break apart tectonic plates
