  1. U4 Quiz 3209 Question and Answer Samples and Techniques

  2. 1. What happens at a transform plate boundary? Plates are subducted into the mantle. Major mountain belts are produced by continental collision New oceanic crust is produced Plates move past each other along a fault.

  3. 2. What evidence was used to support the Plate Tectonic theory? isostatic adjustment hanging valleys crustal uplifting seafloor spreading

  4. 3 What sort of force is shown in the diagram below? faulting tensional compressional shear

  5. 4 The composition of this molten is largely ...? ... since the melting basaltic oceanic crust becomes mixed with melting weathered sediments that were located on top of the subducting plate ultramafic mafic intermediate andesitic

  6. 5. What is the point on Earth’s surface directly above an earthquake’s origin? foreshock aftershock focus epicenter

  7. 6. Earthquake X is 3.5 on the Richter scale. Earthquake Y releases approximately 27 000 times more energy than earthquake X. What is the Richter scale reading of earthquake Y? 8.5 6.5 4.5 5.5
