Science 10: Q 4-1 Drill - Plate Tectonics

What type of fault is presented in this picture?

• Normal Dip-Slip Fault

• Reverse Dip-Lip Fault

• Left-Lateral Strike-Slip Fault

• Right-Lateral Strike-Slip Fault

What type of fault is presented in the picture?

• Normal Dip-Slip Fault

• Reverse Dip-Slip Fault

• Left-Lateral Strike-Slip Fault

• Right-Lateral Strike-Slip Fault

From the same example, what type of plate boundary is presented in this picture?

• divergent boundary

• convergent boundary

• transform boundary

• convection boundary

Which layer of the earth do plate tectonics belong to?

• Crust

• Mantle

• Lithosphere

• Asthenosphere

Layer of the earth that is considered to be "weak or plastic" and able to flow or harden depending on the heat of the earth's core

• crust

• mantle

• lithosphere

• asthenosphere

What landform may form when an oceanic plate subducts under a continental plate?

• trench

• volcano

• oceanic ridge

• both a and b

Which of the following is NOT true about the plate boundary shown in the picture?

• It is a collision of an oceanic plate and a continental plate

• Its is formed when plates of two different densities meet

• It is formed when less dense plate subducts under denser plate

• The following movement along this boundary may cause earthquake

Oceanic Ridges are formed through seafloor spreading, where magma rises to the crust to form new sea floors. What type of boundary do oceanic ridges belong to?

• divergent boundary

• convergent boundary

• transform boundary

• convenction boundary

This theory states that the sinking of the cool, dense plates at subduction contribute to their movement along the mantle.

• slab pull

• gravitational pull

• convection current

• molten magma surfing

How can volcanoes away from any plate boundary form?

• weak crust

• hotspots in the mantle

• strong and massive earthquakes

• convections currents seeping into crust
