Plate Tectonics in Action Quiz

The video tutorial introduces the concepts of continental drift and plate tectonics, explaining how continents and Earth's surface are shaped by these theories. It covers the meeting points of tectonic plates, known as plate boundaries, and highlights significant geological features like the Ring of Fire and the Mid-Atlantic Ridge.

What does the theory of continental drift suggest about the continents?

• They are shrinking.

• They move over time.

• They are expanding.

• They have always been stationary.

According to the theory of plate tectonics, what is the Earth's surface made of?

• Static continents.

• Moving plates.

• Liquid magma.

• Solid rock layers.

What is the term for the location where tectonic plates meet?

• Fault line.

• Plateau.

• Convergence zone.

• Boundary.

Where is the Ring of Fire located?

• Around the Indian Ocean.

• Around the Atlantic Ocean.

• Around the Pacific Plate.

• Around the Arctic Circle.

What geological feature is associated with the Mid-Atlantic Ridge?

• Tectonic plates.

• Volcanic islands.

• Mountain ranges.

• Deep ocean trenches.
