Env. Science final review

What occurs at convergent plate boundaries?

• Plates move past each other creating friction

• Plates move away from each other

• One plate is forced under another or both move upward

• Magma rises to create new land

Which landform is NOT typically associated with convergent boundaries?

• Volcanoes

• Mountains

• Trenches

• Faults

What causes earthquakes?

• Magma cooling in gaps

• Stress at faults releasing stored energy

• Plates moving toward each other

• Formation of trenches

Where is an earthquake felt most strongly?

• At the fault line

• In mountain ranges

• Near volcanoes

• At the epicenter

Which type of mountains form when one plate is forced upward?

• Folded mountains

• Fault-block mountains

• Volcanic mountains

• Ridge mountains

The asthenosphere is located in which layer of Earth?

• Inner core

• Outer core

• Mantle

• Lithosphere

What causes tectonic plate movement?

• Wind patterns

• Ocean currents

• Convection currents

• Surface erosion

Which layer of Earth contains plastic rock?

• Inner core

• Mantle

• Lithosphere

• Outer core

What can earthquakes potentially cause?

• Convection currents

• New plate formation

• Tsunamis

• Magnetic fields

The lithosphere is composed of:

• Liquid metal

• Pure magma

• Sedimentary, igneous, and metamorphic rocks

• Only oceanic crust
