  1. Trivia Volcanoes

  2. Question 1 Volcanoes mostly occur along the “Ring of Fire”. This is because • The mass of the water in the ocean forces magma to rise • These areas are low in population • Earth is hotter in these regions • Plate boundaries are located in these areas.

  3. Question 2 Earthquakes often occur before and during an eruption because • There is no reason why • Rocks that fall from the volcano shake the ground • Lava flowing out of the vent shakes the rocks of the volcano • Magma coming up under the volcano’s vent moves the rocks of the volcano.

  4. Question 3 Volcanoes and earthquakes both often occur in similar areas because • Magma is formed where there are earthquakes • Both are caused by interacting tectonic plates • The outer core causes both • Earthquakes cause magma to come up through volcanoes

  5. Question 4 Volcanoes occur when one plate is pushed under another plate. This movement is called • Shearing • Divergence • Convection • subduction

  6. Trivia Earthquakes

  7. Question 1 What kind of stress is illustrated below? • Compression • Tension • Shearing • compaction

  8. Question 2 What kind of stress is illustrated below? • Compression • Tension • Shearing • compaction

  9. Question 3 With the type of stress shown in this diagram, the end result would most likely be? • Volcano • River • Mountain • valley

  10. Question 4 This is a picture of a transform fault on Mars. What kind of stress is affecting this area? • Compaction • Shearing • Compression • tension

  11. Question 5 This is a picture of an African rift valley. It was formed by what kind of stress? • Compression • Tension • Shearing • compaction

  12. Question 6 Faults occur because stress builds up in rock. This stress causes the rock to break suddenly releasing energy. When this happens you have a • Volcano • Earthquake • Hurricane • mudflow

  13. Question 7 There is stored energy in lithospheric plates along faults. When stored energy suddenly releases: • Earthquakes almost never occur • Earthquakes never occur • Earthquakes are possible • An earthquake is occurring.

  14. Question 8 The reason that volcanoes and earthquakes occur in similar areas is: • Earthquakes cause magma to be released • Magma is only formed where there are earthquakes • The inner core causes both • Both are caused by the interaction of tectonic plates.

  15. Question 9 Convergent plate boundaries are caused by which type of stress? • Tension • Compression • Erosion • Shearing.

  16. Question 10 Divergent Plate boundaries are formed due to what type of stress? • Shearing • Tension • Weathering • compression

  17. Trivia Plate Tectonics

  18. Question 1 You can find some of the same fossils on the coast of South America that you can find in Antarctica. How can this be explained? • The species traveled across the ocean. • The species just grew on each continent on its own. • The continents were once together, but have now spread apart. • There is no accepted explanation.

  19. Question 2 If two plate boundaries collide and they are made of continental crust, what feature will be formed? • Subduction zone • Mountain range • Rift valley • ocean

  20. Question 3 The Theory of Plate Tectonics explains: • Earth’s composition • How sedimentary rock is formed. • The movement of the Earth’s surface • Why plants grow in certain climates.

  21. Question 4 The Atlantic Ocean gets bigger and bigger with time. This is happening because of: • A convergent plate boundary in the middle of the ocean. • Volcanoes and Earthquakes • The spreading of the oceanic plates • Increasing amounts of rain.

  22. Question 5 When oceanic crusts collide, one plate subducts under another plate forming a • mid-ocean ridge • Divergent plate boundary • Trench • A transform plate boundary.

  23. Question 6 Rift valleys are an example of • Convergent plate boundaries • Transform plate boundaries • Divergent plate boundaries

  24. Question 7 Which of the following is an example of evidence that Alfred Wegener used to support his Theory of Continental Drift? • Cavemen left drawings indicating that the continents were together. • Photographs of the mid-ocean ridge. • Fossils of the same species found on separate continents.

  25. Question 8 Subduction zones are a feature of • Convergent plate boundaries • Divergent plate boundaries • Normal Faults • Strike-Slip Faults
