Direction: Read the questions carefully. Write your answer on the space provided for each number.
I. IDENTIFICATION:
____1. A mountain or hill, typically conical, having a crater or vent through which lava, rock fragments, hot vapor, and gas
are being or have been erupted from the earth’s crust.
____2. A theory which suggests that Earth’s crust is made of several plates that interact in several ways producing
earthquakes, volcanoes and other geologic features.
____3. Deep within the Earth, under tremendous pressure and at great temperatures, rock exists as a hot liquid called
______________.
____4. When the magma reaches the surface, it is called ___________.
____5. This zone goes through New Zealand, the Philippines, Japan, Alaska and along the western coasts of North and
South America.
____6. Vibration of Earth due to rapid release of energy.
____7. It is a break in ground along which movement has taken place
____8. It is a depression or deep canal in the seafloor produced by subduction process
____9. The force that squeezes rock together.
____10. The force that pulls rocks apart.
____11. The force that causes rocks on either side of a fault to slide past each other.
____12. The _______________which were formed by the convergence (compression) of Indo-Australian Plate and the
Eurasian Plate has many reverse and thrust faults.
____13. The _______________________ extends 960 km from Mexico to the north of California.
____14. Earthquakes which occur on the ocean floor produce giant sea waves called __________.
____15. Group of mountains produced through the convergence of two continental plates
____16. It is formed when two tectonic plates move apart from each other creating tension
____17. Formed by the divergence between oceanic plates while continental rift valley is formed between continental plates.
____18. It can also be found at the bottom of the ocean where seafloor spreading occurs.
____19. It is formed when two plates move toward each other.
____20. The oceanic plate bends downward into the mantle through the process called ________________.
____21. It is formed when two plates are sliding past each other.
____22. Transform fault boundary is also called ___________________.
____23. Divergent boundary is also known as _____________________________.
____24. A __________ is then formed creating an undersea canyon or linear fault valley.
____25. San Andreas Fault is an example ___________ boundary.
____26.
II. Write TRUE if the statement is correct and FALSE if the statement is incorrect.
____1. Tension causes rocks to be pulled apart and the rocks move down along the fault line.
____2. Compression causes rocks to squeeze together and rocks move up along a fault line.
____3. Shearing is the force that pulls rocks apart.
____4. Trench is a depression or deep canal in the seafloor produced by subduction process
____5. When the lava reaches the surface, it is called magma.
____6. Kilauea is the world’s most active volcano
____7. The San Andreas Fault extends 900 km from Mexico to the north of California.
____8. Scientists need to know the amount of stress applied as well as the elastic limit of the rock to determine when an
earthquake will occur.
____9. The Tsunami Warning Center is located in California.
____10. The amount of damage created by an earthquake depends on several factors.
