Front

Where does subduction occur?

Back

Subduction occurs at deep ocean trenches, where one tectonic plate moves under another.

Front

What is the main cause of earthquakes in the Ring of Fire region?

Back

The main cause of earthquakes in the Ring of Fire region is the movements of tectonic plates.

Back

At divergent boundaries, two plates separate.

Front

True or False: The moon is always half illuminated by the sun.

Back

True. The moon is always half illuminated by the sun, but we see different portions of it from Earth.

Front

What is the correct order of the life cycle of a star?

Back

The correct order is: Nebula, protostar, main sequence, red giant - ends as a white dwarf, neutron star, or black hole.

Front

What is a tectonic plate?

Back

A tectonic plate is a massive slab of solid rock that makes up the Earth's lithosphere and moves over the semi-fluid asthenosphere.

Front

Define subduction zone.

Back

A subduction zone is a region where one tectonic plate moves under another, often leading to volcanic activity and earthquakes.

Front

What is the Ring of Fire?

Back

The Ring of Fire is a major area in the basin of the Pacific Ocean where a large number of earthquakes and volcanic eruptions occur.

Front

What happens at convergent boundaries?

Back

At convergent boundaries, two tectonic plates collide, which can lead to mountain formation, earthquakes, and volcanic activity.

Front

Explain the life cycle of a star.

Back

A star's life cycle includes stages: nebula, protostar, main sequence, red giant, and can end as a white dwarf, neutron star, or black hole.
