1. Where is the triple junction? A B C D. All of the above E. None of the above 2. What ocean floor feature is found just offshore of the west coast of South America? A. B. C. D. East Pacific Rise Peru-Chile Trench Great Barrier Reef Easter Island Hotspot 3. Most present-day volcanic island arcs are found along the margins of which ocean? A. B. C. D. E. Atlantic Arctic Indian Pacific Southern 4.For Americans, the most famous transform plate boundary is… A. B. C. D. E. The New Madrid Fault Zone The Puerto Rico Trench The Sigsbee Deep Mt. St. Helens The San Andreas Fault Zone 5. At which location is NEW crust forming? A. B. C. D. E. Iceland Japan Alaska Brasil Mexico 6. Place these block diagrams in proper chronological sequence. A.A-B-C-D B.B-A-C-D C.C-D-A-B D.D-B-A-C E.D-C-A-B 7. Here’s a map of Africa’s Great Lakes. Judging by shape and by the Theory of Antipodal Focusing, which one might be considered most likely to have been formed by a meteor impact? A. B. C. D. Lake Turkana Lake Albert Lake Victoria Lake Tanganyika E. Lake Nyasa (a.k.a., Lake Malawi) 8. Here are some pictures of the Siberian Traps, both when they were active (top) and as they look today (bottom) . According to the Theory of Antipodal Focusing, what may have caused this largest of flood basalts? A. Subduction in Japan B. Transform Shifting in South America C. Crater Impact in Antarctica D. Volcanic Eruption in Australia 9. Where do MOST transform boundaries occur? A. B. C. D. In oceans Along island arcs In mountain ranges On coastal plains 10. What is the name given to this landmass? A. Panthalassa; B. Gondwanaland; C. Tethys; D. Pangea; E. Laurasia 11. The photo below marks what kind of tectonic boundary? A. B. C. D. E. Divergent Convergent Transform Hotspot Collisional 12. This man is the “father” of the Theory of Plate Tectonics. His name is … A. B. C. D. E. Henry Hess Galileo Galilei Charles Darwin Alfred Wegener Alfred Wallace 13. What kind of stress is forming the San Andreas Fault? A. B. C. D. Compression Shearing Tension Hotspot 14. Which way is the Pacific Plate presently moving? A. B. C. D. Northeast Northwest Southeast Southwest 15. Iceland is unique because it gives us a window into… A. B. C. D. E. Mid-ocean Ridges Fault Zones Shield Volcanoes Hotspots Collisional Boundaries 16. These are the Himalayas. Which plates are involved in forming them? A. B. C. D. E. Gondwana Laurasia India Africa Asia 17. What is found at the bottom of the Gulf of California? A. B. C. D. Mid-ocean Ridge Freshwater springs Ocean Trench Reverse fault 18. What evidence is there that this part of Africa is forming a divergent boundary? A. Large, deep lakes B. Long, narrow seas C. Volcanoes D. All of the above 19. The Appalachians formed from … A. A convergent boundary B.A divergent boundary C.A transform boundary D.Over a hotspot 20. Which of the following WAS NOT at first used as evidence for Continental Drift? A. C. B. 21. What is this illustrating? A. B. C. D. E. Earth’s magnetic poles have reversed through geologic time. Earth’s poles split and meander across the northern hemisphere. Earth’s poles fluctuate in strength over time. Continents move across the globe, while the poles move only slightly. Continents lay fixed while the poles move. 22. What is the process that forms the volcanoes of the Cascades? A.Accretion B.Hotspots C.Shearing D.Subduction 23. According to the Theory of Antipodal Focusing, where most likely is the crater impact that formed the Hawaii hotspot? A. B. C. D. E. Easter Island Yellowstone Galapagos Lake Victoria Meteor Crater, Arizona 24. What accounts for the distribution pattern of known impact craters on Earth? A. The Moon has protected the equatorial regions from Meteor impacts. B. The oceans, polar regions, and most tropical areas have not been explored for craters. C. The poles don’t get many impacts. D. Meteors are attracted to temperate areas – the “Goldilocks Principle”. 25. What present-day continents collided 230 million years ago to form the Appalachians? A. B. C. D. E. Africa Europe Antarctica North America Australia 26. Which of the following mountain ranges would be represented by figure A? 27. figure B? A. B. C. D. E. Hawaii Aleutians Cascades Himalayas Andes 28. This is a diamond mine, a mined out kimberlite pipe. What geologic process is most likely responsible for these highly localized diamond beds? A. B. C. D. Subduction Hotspot Rifting Transform fault zone 29. Magnetic Reversals have helped to prove the Theory of Plate Tectonics by demonstrating that… A. B. C. D. Seafloor spreads Poles wander Subduction occurs Faulting happens The 1811-1812 New Madrid Earthquakes were an intense intraplate earthquake series beginning with an initial pair of very large earthquakes on December 16, 1811. These earthquakes remain the most powerful earthquakes ever to hit the eastern United States in recorded history. 30. What most likely is the cause of earthquakes in the Midwest and along the Mississippi? A. Alien subterranean colonies B. Nuclear tests C. Failed rifts long ago covered by sediment D. Subduction E. Hotspot 31. This 220 million year-old fossil of an amphibian’s upper jaw and palate was unearthed in Antarctica recently. What best accounts for the fact that a tropical cold-blooded creature once inhabited this – the deepfreeze of the world? A. B. C. D. Amphibians were once able to handle cooler climates. Antarctica was closer to the equator. Global warming had made Antarctica much warmer. The amphibian had lived somewhere else, and ocean currents deposited it by Antarctica. 32. Where is the oldest seafloor? 33. The newest? Look at the Blue Globe for reference points. 34. What is this formation, found underneath Chesapeake Bay? A. Ancient volcano B. Ancient riverbed C. Ancient antipodal hotspot D. Ancient impact crater
