What is the primary driving force behind the movement of tectonic plates?

• Gravitational Attraction

• Volcanic Eruptions

• Plate Melting

• Convection Currents in the Mantle

What occurs in the Earth's mantle that causes hot, less dense material to rise and cooler, denser material to sink, leading to the movement of tectonic plates?

• Subduction

• Ridge Push

• Slab Pull

• Mantle Convection

Which of the following is not a cause of plate movement but a consequence of it?

• Ridge Push

• Slab Pull

• Transform Faulting

• Continental Drift

The driving force responsible for the movement of lithospheric plates beneath the Earth's surface is primarily related to which layer of the Earth?

• The Crust

• The Outer Core

• The Mantle

• The Inner Core

What geological phenomenon is responsible for the formation of magnetic stripes on the seafloor, providing evidence of seafloor spreading and plate movement?

• Isostatic Rebound

• Ridge Push

• Plate Melting

• Magnetic Reversals

The supercontinent cycle, involving the assembly and breaking of supercontinents over geological time, is driven by what underlying process?

• Plate Tectonics

• Earth's Rotation

• Volcanic Activity

• Gravitational Forces

The formation of ocean basins and continental rifts is associated with what type of tectonic plate boundary?

• Convergent Boundary

• Divergent Boundary

• Passive Boundary

• Transform Boundary

Which of the following phenomena is responsible for the generation of stress within tectonic plates and can result in earthquakes and volcanic activity?

• Plate Drifting

• Plate Melting

• Plate Tectonics

• Plate Boundary Formation

At convergent boundaries, the process of subduction and plate collision is driven by the convection process of what part of the Earth's interior?

• Outer Core

• Inner Core

• Mantle

• Crust

What geological process, related to the movement of tectonic plates, is primarily responsible for the formation of mid-ocean ridges and the upwelling of magma from the mantle?

• Subduction

• Transform Faulting

• Seafloor Spreading

• Continental Collision
