Amplify Plate Motion Lesson 1.2 & 1.3

While examining a core sample, you discover a Basalt rock in a horizontal cross section. What does this imply about the crust that the core sample came from?

• The crust at this location was formed by heavy amounts of pressure.

• The crust at this location was made by water erosion.

• The crust at this location was formed through volcanic activity.

• The crust at this location was formed through human interaction and manipulation.

Where will geologist be able to find hard solid rock?

• Site 1 because only the land is made of hard solid rock

• Site 2 because solid rock is underneath the sand in the water

• Sites 1 and 2 because all of the crust is made of hard solid rock

• Neither because both site are made of soft solid rock

What happens to the ocean on the edges of the tectonic plates?

• The water slips through and dries up in the mantle.

• The water is pushed up by the mantle towards the surface forming waves.

• The ocean forms currents because of the separation of the plates.

• Nothing because there is not a gap in between each plate.

In locations where plates meet and collide, what happens to the people in the surrounding area?

• They feel an earthquake because of the collision of the 2 plates.

• They feel nothing because the plates are moving too slow for people to feel.

• They feel nothing because lava from below the crust acts like a cushion and slows the plates down

• They feel nothing because the plates do not normally move.
