5 Written Questions

1. Typically a hill or mountain with a central vent from which magma/lava, pieces of rock, ash, and gas escape; usually (95% of the time) form on the along plate boundaries
2. Rock formed when exposed to extreme heat and pressure; rock that has changed form
3. Occurs at a divergent boundary under water; two plates pull apart, magma rises and cools, creating new land (what formed the Atlantic Ocean)
4. Boundary created when two plates move horizontally past each other with little vertical motion
5. A crack in the Earth's crust

5 Matching Questions

1. subduction
2. hotspot
3. igneous
4. tectonic plates
5. weathering

1. a One plate slides underneath another plate
2. b A weak spot in the middle of a tectonic plate where magma surfaces; forms a volcano (ex: Hawaii & Yellowstone)
3. c Breaking down of rock and the earth's crust due to forces in the atmosphere like running water (rain), wind, chemicals, etc.
4. d Large sections of the earth's crust
5. e Rock formed in or near a volcano when magma/lava or ash hardens to become rock

5 Multiple Choice Questions

1. The inner most layer of the earth
   1. lava
   2. rift
   3. core
   4. crust
2. A fault where one side is driven on top of the other; caused by compression stress (force pushing together)
   1. reverse fault
   2. fault
   3. strike-slip fault
   4. normal fault
3. A large, long valley on a continent; formed at a divergent boundary; small volcanoes are typical as magma rises and cools (ex: African Rift Valley)
   1. core
   2. rift
   3. fault
   4. crust
4. The middle layer of earth, semi-liquid (or plastic-like)
   1. rift
   2. mantle
   3. magma
   4. fault
5. Hot, semi-fluid, molten rock that comes out from volcanoes or other large openings in the earth's crust
   1. fault
   2. magma
   3. lava
   4. core

5 True/False Question

1. strike-slip fault → A fault where one side is driven on top of the other; caused by compression stress (force pushing together)
   

   True        False

2. normal fault → A fault where one side is driven on top of the other; caused by compression stress (force pushing together)
   

   True        False

3. mid-oceanic ridge → Breaking down of rock and the earth's crust due to forces in the atmosphere like running water (rain), wind, chemicals, etc.
   

   True        False

4. convergent boundary → Boundary created when two plates collide, resulting in subduction (destroys some of the earth's crust)
   

   True        False

5. convection current → Boundary created when two plates collide, resulting in subduction (destroys some of the earth's crust)
   

   True        False
