What does a map showing clusters of active volcanoes along the Andes Mountains suggest? A. The Andes are located on a stable plate interior C. The Andes are located at a subduction zone B. The Andes are forming at a divergent boundary D. There is no plate activity in the region 8. What conclusion can be drawn from identical mountain ranges found on separate continents? A. Earthquakes moved them C. The continents were likely once connected B. They formed at the same time independently D. They were built by humans 11. At a divergent boundary between oceanic plates, what is most likely to form? A. Deep ocean trench C. Folded mountains B. Mid-ocean ridge D. Fault line 9. How do earthquakes support the theory of plate movement? A. They show that Earth’s core is solid C. They often occur along plate boundaries D. They are caused by volcanoes alone 1.. Which of the following best describes convection? A. Movement of solid rock only B. Transfer of energy through radiation C. Circular flow of heated and cooled material D. Process of plate sinking into the core 23. What does a map showing clusters of active volcanoes along the Andes Mountains suggest? A. The Andes are located on a stable plate interior B. The Andes are forming at a divergent boundary C. The Andes are located at a subduction zone D. There is no plate activity in the region 25. Analyze the difference between a convergent and divergent plate boundary. Which of the following best distinguishes them? A. Convergent boundaries form new crust; divergent boundaries destroy crust B. Convergent boundaries push plates apart; divergent boundaries pull them together C. Convergent boundaries cause plates to collide; divergent boundaries cause plates to separate D. Both boundaries form mid-ocean ridges 3. Why do identical fossils found on different continents support the idea of plate movement? A. Animals could swim across oceans B. The continents were once connected C. The fossils formed separately by chance D. Fossils are light enough to travel by wind 18. A team of scientists is choosing a location to study active crust formation. Which site would you recommend and why? A. Himalayan mountains – due to intense subduction B. San Andreas Fault – due to high volcanic activity C. Mid-Atlantic Ridge – due to seafloor spreading at divergent boundaries D. Mariana Trench – due to lack of tectonic movement 14. You are shown a map of the Pacific Ring of Fire. What geological activities would you expect in this area? A. Only mountain building C. Erosion and weathering B. Earthquakes and volcanic eruptions D. Glacial melting 10. What can scientists infer from similar fossil remains found in South America and Africa? A. Dinosaurs lived in oceans C. Fossils moved across the ocean B. Species once lived on the same landmass D. The fossils are unrelated 20.Which landform is commonly formed by the collision of continental plates? A. Ocean trenches C. Mountain belts B. Volcanoes D. Rift valleys 19. What happens to hot material in the mantle during convection? A. It sinks C. It rises toward the crust B. It cools and becomes solid D. It disappears 6. How does the “fit” of South America and Africa support continental drift? A. Their climates are the same B. Their coastlines appear to match like puzzle pieces C. They have the same languages D. They have equal land area 21. Which of the following is an example of a transform plate boundary? A. Himalayan Mountains B. Mid-Atlantic Ridge C. San Andreas Fault D. Mariana Trench 22.What geological process is common at transform plate boundaries? A. Formation of volcanoes B. Earthquake activity C. Creation of trenches D. Mountain formation 5. What does the pattern of magnetic stripes on the ocean floor indicate about Earth's crust? A. It has never changed B. It forms only near volcanoes C. It records changes in Earth’s magnetic field D. It only forms under continents 4. How does seafloor spreading help explain the movement of tectonic plates? A. It causes continents to sink B. It creates more earthquakes C. It adds new crust, pushing plates apart D. It removes old crust from the Earth 12. If you notice a region with frequent earthquakes and volcanoes, what can you infer about its location? A. It is in the middle of a tectonic plate C. It is far from any tectonic activity B. It is near a plate boundary D. It is located near the equator. 2. What type of energy drives mantle convection? A. Solar energy B. Electrical energy C. Geothermal energy from Earth's interior D. Chemical energy from volcanoes 17. You are asked to evaluate two regions: one has a rift valley and the other has volcanic mountain chains. Which boundary type would you recommend studying in each, and why? A. Rift valley – convergent; volcanic mountains – divergent, because magma flows more freely there B. Rift valley – transform; volcanic mountains – transform, because both involve plate sliding C. Rift valley – divergent; volcanic mountains – convergent, due to crust creation and subduction D. Both – convergent, because all mountains form from collisions 24. What type of energy drives mantle convection? A. Solar energy B. Electrical energy C. Geothermal energy from Earth's interior D. Chemical energy from volcanoes 13. A scientist observes frequent volcanic eruptions and earthquakes along the coast of a continent. What type of plate boundary is most likely present? A. Divergent boundary C. Transform fault boundary B. Convergent boundary D. Passive margin
