Sedimentary rocks usually contain fossils and are usually found in layers
Foundation rocks usually appear in layers
Fossil remnants are usually found in granite and basalt rocks
Fossil remnants are usually found in granite rocks
5. What is the correct sentence :
No answer is correct
Soil contains varying percentages of water and air
Red Terra Rossa soil will develop on limestone and dolomite rocks in a Mediterranean climate
Different minerals exist among the soil components
6. What is the source of the sands on the coast of the land of Israël from Ashkelon to Haifa ?
Weathering rocks, transported from the Nile's delta sediments to the Mediterranean Sea, and Sea currents bring sands to the Israeli coast
Sediments residues from major coastal streams such as Yarkon, Sorek, Hadera and Alexander
Kurkar (eolianite) ridges are the source of sands on the coast
Dolomite from the Judean Mountains and Samaria sinking according to the principle of superposition on the country's shores
7. Alluvial soil can be :
All answers are correct
Basalt, Chalk and Limestone
Chalk, Dolomite and Limestone
Chalk and Limestone
8. Sites in Israël where ancient sandstones can be seen :
Only through drilling can ancient Sandstones be reached in the Jezreel Valley
Eilat Mountains, Taman Valley, the base of the Neguev Craters, and the ascent to Mount Hermon
There are no Sandstones in Israël
Only in the Neguev Craters
9. What is the correct sentence :
The Menashe Hills are a syncline
The Golan Heights are a magmatic cell
Mount Meron is the highest ridge in Upper Galilee
The Judean Mountains are actually one giant horst
10. A magmatic cell that develops within the earth's crust will lead to the creation of :
Volcanic mountain
Basalt rock
Granite rock
No answer is correct
11. Which definition of geological formations is NOT correct :
Anticline - Fold : formation of a mountain
Horst - Fault : formation of a mountain
All answers are correct, there are no wrong definition
Graben - Fault : formation of a valley
Syncline - Fold : formation of a valley
Transform - Movement : plates are moving sideways, no formation of mountain or valley
12. What is a subduction zone ?
Without earthquakes
All answers are correct
Characterized mainly by oceanic depths
Basaltic rock, climbing on granite rock
13. A clear evidence of oceanic expansion is :
The rise of rock layers from the central oceanic ridge to the continental margins (basalt rock attached to the shores is the oldest) and symmetrical rock layering on both sides of the ridge
The rise of rock layers from the continental margins towards the central oceanic ridge (basalt rock on the central oceanic ridge is the oldest) and symmetrical rock layering on both sides of the ridge
The presence of granite rocks above basaltrocks at the bottom of the sea
The presence of basalt rocks beneath granite rocks at the bottom of the sea
14. Karst forms :
As a result of an uplift process
As a result of rock erosion by water
As a result of rock solidification within the Earth's core
