  10. Geology 5 What causes movement of material within the Earth?

  11. Answer The Earth’s heat energy

  12. Geology 6 There are over twelve of them on Earth, they float on the semi-solid mantle, and when they move, continents move with them.

  13. Answer Plates

  14. Geology 7 Where are most earthquakes and volcanoes located?

  16. Geology 8 What is a fault?

  17. Answer The boundary of two plates

  18. Geology 9 What type of fault is this?

  19. Answer CONVERGENT

  20. Geology 10 What type of fault is this?

  21. Answer Divergent

  22. Geology 11 What type of fault is this?

  23. Answer Transform boundaries Strike – slip boundaries or sliding boundaries

  24. Geology 12 How can humans cause erosion?

  25. Answer Deforestation, mining And overbuilding cities, highways, and roads.

  26. Geology 13 What 6 thing can humans do to prevent or slow the process of erosion?

  27. Answer 1. By establishing governmental regulations and legislation 2. planting trees 3. creating better drainage patterns 4. contour farming 5. preserving rain forests 6. limiting pollution.

  28. Geology 14 What is the rock cycle?

  29. Answer The rock cycle is a model that shows the continual process of change in the Earth and its rocks.

  30. Geology 15 What causes rocks to change into other types of rocks?

  31. Answer Heat and pressure from the inner Earth.

  32. Geology 16 Do all changes in rocks occur very slowly?

  33. Answer No. Some changes are very rapid, others take millions of years.

  34. Geology 17 Is new material ever added to the Earth?

  35. Answer No. The material of the Earth just cycles through various forms like heating, melting, weathering, and erosion and compression.

  36. Geology 18 Can any rock become any other type of rock?

  37. Answer Yes. There is no “one way” through the rock cycle.
