What happens to plates along a transform boundary when an earthquake occurs?

The plates slide past each other in opposite directions

The plate crack in half

Molten rocks comes from the pressure

Magma is released in the process

How does subduction lead to volcanic activity?

1 plate is pushed beneath & melted. This magma rises up

the rumbling causes a volcano

earthquakes lead to volcanic activity activity

Tidal waves release the force of a volcano

What can happen when two tectonic plates collide along a subduction zone?

one plate is pushed beneath the other

Mountains form

a tidal wave forms

The plates diverge

This system causes the easterly trade winds to re-establish with greater intensity causing upwelling of colder ocean water in the eastern Pacific from the depths & replaces the surface water blown westward.

La Nina

El Nino

La Playa

El Mundo

This type of circulation drives the mixing of surface water & deep water & is crucial for moving heat & nutrients around the globe.

Thermohaline circulation

Driving circulation

Atlantic circulation

Cell circulation

Deep ocean currents circulate ocean water over long time periods. What concerns scientists the most regarding the process?

Ocean currents slowing down

Changes in climate

Over population

More intense disasters

What biome is known to sit at O degrees on the Earth?

Tropical Rainforest

Deserts

Tundra

Temperate Rainforests

What is one thing that gyres do NOT do in the ocean?

Redistribute nutrients in the ocean

Rotate clockwise in the Northern Hemisphere

Result from the Coriolis Effect

Redistribute heat

High Productivity & nutrient availability in the ocean occurs in areas with

upwelling

gyres

El Nino

Rainfall

What does NOT drive ocean currents?

Rainfall

salinity

Gravity

Temperature

What is the correct order of convection cells, starting from the arctic?

Polar, Ferrell, Hadley

Hadley, Ferrell, Polar

Ferrell, Polar, Hadley

Hadley, Polar, Ferrell

What plays a role in causing a rain shadow?

A mountain Range

Adiabatic cooling

moving plates

gravity

Which does NOT contribute to atmospheric convection currents?

Gyres

Hadley Cells

Westerlies

Polar Cells

Why is summer warmer in the Northern Hemisphere?

The tilt of Earth's axis

Reduced Albedo

Increased absorption of the sun's rays

More daylight

Which of the following has the highest albedo?

Snow

Soil

Water

Tropical Rain Forest

At what atmospheric layer does the Aurora borealis occur?

Thermosphere

Mesosphere

Troposphere

Stratosphere

What atmospheric Layer does our weather take place

Troposphere

Mesosphere

Stratosphere

Thermosphere

Using a soil pyramid, what type of soil is 70% sand, 10% silt & 20% clay?

Sandy Loam

Loam

Clay

Sand

List three types of soils, by their particle size, from largest to smallest?

Sand, Silt, Clay

Clay, Silt, Sand

Silt, Sand, Clay

Sand, Clay, SIlt

What are the three main types of soil?

Sand, silt and clay

Sand, clay and humus

loam, silt and sand

clay, humus and loam

What type of soil would be best for a man-made lake, where the goal is to have as little leakage of water as possible?

Mostly clay

Mostly silt

Mostly sand

Equal amounts of sand, silt and clay

Which is the correct order of soil horizons starting at the surface?

O,A,E,B,C

C,B,A,E,O

A,E,C,B,O

E,A,B,O,C

Which rock forms at high temperatures & pressures?

metamorphic

Igneous

Sedimentary

Basaltic

The Hawaiian Islands formed

at a hot spot

At a divergent plate boundary

at a transform fault boundary

at a convergent plate boundary

Subduction

Occurs when one plate passes under another

Is the reason similar fossils appear on both sides of river

Is the result of a hot spot moving near a plate boundary

Occurs when oceanic plates diverge & form volcanoes
