Seafloor spreading occurs at which of the following plate boundaries? • Divergent • Convergent • Transform • Subduction 0 of 28
When examining rocks from both sides of the Mid-Atlantic Ridge, scientists found evidence for the phenomenon of • Pangea • Magnetic reversal • Convection currents • Dikes and sills 0 of 28
Which of the following may result from the collision of one plate with another? • Convergent boundary • Rift valley • Divergent boundary • Normal fault 28 0 0
28 Where in the earth do convection currents occur? • Along a rift zone • In the lithosphere • In the core • In the asthenosphere 0
A fault formed at the point where two plates slide past each other is called • A reverse fault • A normal fault • A strike slip fault • Fault block mountains 0 of 28
Many scientists believe that the movement of lithospheric plates is CAUSED by . . . • Continental drift • Folding and faulting • Convection currents • Unconformities 0 of 28
The theory that proposes a possible explanation of WHY and HOW the continents move is called . . . • Sea floor spreading • Plate tectonics • Continental drift • Magnetic reversals 0 of 28
What types of faults form in regions where the crust is diverging? • Strike slip • Compression • Shearing • Normal 28 0 0
28 Along a strike slip fault, the rock on either side of the fault plane moves • Diagonally • Horizontally • Vertically • Down into the asthenosphere 0
At a divergent boundary what type of stress or force is there? • Compression • Shearing • Folding • Tension 0 of 28
At a normal fault, what happens? • The hanging wall slides down. • The hanging wall slides up. • The plates move horizontally. • The denser plate sinks at the subduction zone. 0 of 28
The term for an upward fold is • A monocline • A sill • A syncline • An anticline 0 of 28
When rocks respond to stress by becoming permanently deformed but not breaking, the result is • Faulting • Folding • Rebound • Sea floor spreading 0 of 28
What type of mountains are shown in this diagram and how did they form? • Folded, divergent • Fault block, divergent • Folded, compression • Fault block, shearing 0 of 28
What type of force has acted on the rocks in this diagram? • Shearing • Compression • Tension • Strain 0 of 28
28 Rising of rock layers is called • Subsidence • Slab pull • Ridge push • Uplift 0
Sinking of rock layers or plates • Anticline • Subsidence • Ridge push • Monocline 0 of 28
At a mid ocean ridge, the oceanic lithosphere slides downhill under the force of gravity. This is called? • Convection • Slab pull • Ridge push • Folding 0 of 28
