The satellite photograph below shows a large meteorite crater that is 1200 m in diameter and 170m deep.This crater is located in a flat, arid part of northeastern Arizona.
How will this crater most likely change over time?

• It will get deeper as it fills with water.
• It will rise up like a volcanic crater.
• It will become less deep as the rim erodes
• It will widen as it fills with lava.

The Himalayan mountains are shown on the map below. Four students were asked to identify the geologic process that caused this mountain range to form. Their responses are shown below.
Student Responses
Student 1 Two continental plates converging Student 2 An earthquake in a subduction zone
 Student 3 A tectonic plate moving over a hot spot
Student 4 Movement at a transform fault boundary. 
Which student correctly identified the geologic process that formed the Himalayan mountains?

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

The satellite photo below shows San Francisco, California, which has many miles of coastline and an inland bay.
Which area of the coastline has most likely experienced the greatest effect of erosion from waves over hundreds of years?

• Area N
• Area P
• Area S
• Area T

The satellite image below shows a ship channel between South Padre Island and Boca Chica beach in South Texas.
Sand is sometimes removed from the ship channel through a process called dredging to make it easier for ships to travel through. Recently sand from the bottom of the channel was movedto area beaches. Without this transfer of sand, what would most likely occur in this area inthe future?

• The ship channel would become deeper, and the island would move west toward the main land.
• The ship channel would become shallower, and the beach would become narrower
• The ship channel would become narrower, and the island would become completely covered with water.
• The ship channel would become wider, and the island would sink into the Gulf of Mexico.

The map below shows the locations of four active volcanoes in the Caribbean Sea. 
What do these volcanoes indicate about plate tectonics in the region?

• The volcanoes form an island arc, indicating a converging plate boundary.
• The volcanoes form a line, indicating a diverging plate boundary
• Two plates are moving past each other, causing faulting and magma formation
• Two plates are moving apart, creating new seafloor.

The image shows a plate boundary. Arrows have been added to indicate the movement of the plates.
What plate boundary feature is also shown?

• A ridge formed by an inactive convergent boundary
• A valley forming at an active divergent boundary
• A fault forming at an active transform boundary
• A volcano formed by an active transform boundary

A section of a topographic map is shown below.
What is the difference in elevation in meters between Point X and Point Y on the map?

• 360
• 400
• 36.0
• 40.0

A student stands at the point marked X on the topographic map below.
What height in meters must the student climb in order to reach the top of the hill?

• 25.3
• 303
• 253
• 30.0

The points labeled W and Y on the topographic map below show the campsites of two families.Each family hiked to the elevation on the map marked X. The arrows show the paths taken by both families.
What was the change in elevation, to the nearest ten meters, for the family that took thesteepest path to Point X?

• 100
• 600
• 60.0
• 120

What 2 land forms can a Convergent Plate create?

• Volcanoes and Hurricanes
• Mountains and Volcanoes
• Earthquakes and Mountains
• Volcanoes and Sea floor spreading
