Superposition,Ecological Succession and Tectonics

Which organisms are typically found in the early stages of primary succession?

• Grasses and Wildflowers
• Lichens and Mosses
• Coniferous Trees
• Deciduous Trees

In their geography class, Priya and Daniel learned about a process that causes the continents to move slowly over time. What is this process known as?

• sea-floor spreading
• trench making
• continental drift
• subduction

During their field trip, Kai, Jackson, and Aiden are studying plate tectonics. They encounter a situation where an oceanic plate and a continental plate collide. What geological feature do they expect to form?

• mountain range
• a subduction zone
• the mid ocean ridge
• the rift valley

Which of these landforms is caused by convergent boundaries?

• trenches
• fault
• the mid ocean ridge
• the rift valley

Which of these landforms is caused by convergent boundaries?

• Student 1
• Student 2
• Student 3
• Student 4

Which of these landforms is caused by convergent boundaries?

• The plate on the left (the plate with the volcano on it)
• Folded Mountains
• Faults
• Mid-Ocean Ridge

Which TWO landforms occur when a continental plate and an oceanic plate hit each other?

• Volcanoes on land and Volcanic Islands
• Volcanoes on land and Deep Sea Trench
• Volcanoes on land and Folded Mountains
• Rift Valley and Mid Ocean Ridge

What are the two types of crust

• continental and oceanic
• lower and upper
• ocean and upper
• pizza and subway

Emma, Liam, and Olivia are discussing the key difference between primary and secondary ecological succession in a grassland ecosystem. What is the key difference they point out?

• Emma, Liam, and Olivia are discussing the key difference between primary and secondary ecological succession in a grassland ecosystem. What is the key difference they point out?
• Primary is the initial stage and secondary is the subsequent stage
• Primary focuses on animal community; secondary focuses on plant community
• Primary starts WITHOUT soil; Secondary starts WITH soil

What type of event will occur at this boundary?

• Earthquake
• Tornado
• Volcanic Eruption
• Mountain Building
