  1. PLANET EARTH There are 18 questions on this test: Continental Drift – Questions 1 – 4 Plate Tectonics – Questions 5 – 10 Mountain Building – Questions 11 – 18 Each slide is timed to change automatically You will have 45 seconds to complete each question Following the last slide on this test – Question 18 Follow your teacher’s instructions to score and record the test. All of your answers should be recorded on the Student Response Form – PE75-3 GLO 3 – Geological Theories

  2. GEOLOGIAL PERSPECTIVES - PLANET EARTH GLO 3 – Theory of Continental Drift • Question 1 • Alfred Wegner determined that the continents at one time all fit together to form one large supercontinent, called Pangaea. Their interlocking shapes and other evidence helped him form the Theory of Continental Drift. The other evidence included all of the following, except ... • A. Glossopteris fossils • B. Folded mountains • C. Glacial deposits • D. Gold deposits • Question 2 • Glaciers once existed in the southern hemisphere. • The evidence Wegener found to prove this were the ... • A. moraines found • B. bedrock abrasions • C. erratics found • D. ice caves Slide will change automatically

  3. GEOLOGIAL PERSPECTIVES - PLANET EARTH GLO 3 – Theory of Continental Drift • Question 3 • Alfred Wegner also proposed a theory of how he thought mountains formed. He thought that when the drifting continents collided, the edges of these continents ... • A. pushed and flowed • B. eroded and striated • C. crumpled and folded • D. cracked and disintegrated • Question 4 • The science community rejected Wegener’s idea because they believed that mountains formed when the crust wrinkled like the skin of a dried-up ... • A. apple • B. pear • C. grape • D. orange Slide will change automatically

  4. GEOLOGIAL PERSPECTIVES - PLANET EARTH GLO 3 – Plate Tectonics • Question 5 • The ocean floor has been mapped out in detail and provided interesting patterns. Scientists noted that volcanoes and earthquakes tended to occur in the … • A. deep trenches of the ocean • B. vast plains of the ocean floor • C. same areas around the world • D. continents that fit together • Question 6 • Mountain ranges were discovered along the ocean floor. These mountain ranges are called … • A. abyss • B. ridges • C. trenches • D. pillow lava Slide will change automatically

  5. GEOLOGIAL PERSPECTIVES - PLANET EARTH GLO 3 – Plate Tectonics • Question 7 • Because rock is moving away from the mountain ranges found along the mid-Atlantic ridge, new rock is being formed. This sea-floor spreading indicates that rock nearest the continents is … • A. older • B. softer • C. harder • D. younger • Question 8 • The place where tectonic plates meet is called a … • A. transform • B. boundary • C. divergence • D. convergence Slide will change automatically

  6. GEOLOGIAL PERSPECTIVES - PLANET EARTH GLO 3 – Plate Tectonics • Question 9 • A place where two tectonic plates slide past each other is called a … • A. transform boundary • B. diverging boundary • C. converging boundary • D. subduction boundary • Question 10 • Plates moving toward each other occur at a … • A. transform boundary • B. diverging boundary • C. converging boundary • D. subduction boundary Slide will change automatically

  7. GEOLOGIAL PERSPECTIVES - PLANET EARTH GLO 3 – Mountain Building • Question 11 • Where two continental plates are crushing together and the edges are being pushed up the can form mountains. The highest mountain range in the world developing in this way is the … • A. Alps • B. Rockies • C. Himalayans • D. Appalachians • Question 12 • Over 500 million years ago Alberta was tropical and the border with British Columbia was … • A. an underwater trench • B. a mountain range • C. a fluvial landform • D. a shallow sea Slide will change automatically

  8. GEOLOGIAL PERSPECTIVES - PLANET EARTH GLO 3 – Mountain Building • Question 13 • Mountain formations that undergo more than one process are called ... • A. complex • B. transform • C. compound • D. multi-faulted • Question 14 • The collision of the North American Plate and the Pacific Plate caused the Pacific plate to slip under the North American Plate. At the same time, the force of the collision caused the North American plate to … • A. slip and slide • B. fold and break • C. fold and separate • D. bend and compress Slide will change automatically

  9. GEOLOGIAL PERSPECTIVES - PLANET EARTH GLO 3 – Mountain Building • Question 15 • When older rock ends up on top of younger rock the mountains formed are called ... • A. fault mountains • B. block mountains • C. thrust mountains • D. fault block mountains • Question 16 • This factor (observation) might be the best way to determine the age of a mountain. • A. type of fault • B. shape of peak • C. kinds of rocks • D. difference between syncline and anticline Slide will change automatically

  10. GEOLOGIAL PERSPECTIVES - PLANET EARTH GLO 3 – Mountain Building • Question 17 • The down fold in the rock that is folded when pressure is placed on it is called … • A. compression • B. fault block • C. anticline • D. syncline • Question 18 • When Selah tried to make a model of folded mountains she found it difficult because the type of material she used was hard, like rock. She had forgotten that in order for rock to fold it has to be softened by … • A. heat and pressure within the Earth’s crust • B. constant erosion and weathering of the rock • C. earthquakes and volcanoes actively moving rock • D. precipitation and seasonal changes on the Earth’s crust Slide will change automatically
