100
This is the most likely cause of the earthquakes
What is subduction of an oceanic plate beneath a continental plate?
100
The structures created at convergent boundaries under the ocean are different than the structures created at those boundaries on land. This statement describes this difference
What is: under the ocean a trench will form, and on a continent mountains will form?
100
Scientists have measured the rate of growth of the Atlantic Ocean basin to be about 2 to 3 cm per year. This type of activity coincides with the formation of ridges on the ocean floor. This is the MOST likely cause of this activity
What is movement of tectonic plates?
100
This activity would be the MAIN result of two tectonic plates slipping past one another
What is earthquakes?
100
This type of activity was created by this plate boundary
What is divergent boundary between two continental plates?
200
This type of rock is formed when limestone is subjected to heat and pressure
What is marble?
200
Near this geologic structure are the youngest rocks on Earth found
What is an active volcano?
200
This plate movement would result in the formation of new crust
What is two oceanic plates pulling away from each other?
200
This volcano was caused by this activity
What is subduction at a convergent boundary?
200
These two mountains are 50km apart
What is Kilauea and Mauna Kea?
300
These layers have been undisturbed. This layer has the most crystalized minerals
What is Z?
300
Radioactive isotopes inside Earth are constantly decaying. This process results in
What is the generation of heat energy inside Earth?
300
These landforms are MOST likely associated with hot spots
What is volcanos?
300
This will most likely occur before a volcanic eruption
What is an increase in earthquake activity?
300
This action MOST often causes sinkholes to form on the surface of Earth
What is removing groundwater?
400
This US feature was formed through through the geological process of continental accretion
What is the Aleutian Islands of Alaska?
400
This MOST likely caused this geologic feature
What is compressional forces?
400
This geological event would MOST likely occur along the type of boundary demonstrated
What is earthquakes?
400
When an igneous intrusion comes into contact with surrounding rock, the surrounding rock will
What is recrystalize?
400
This is a likely reason for a sinkhole to form
What is the removal of underground resources?
500
This type of plate boundary is MOST responsible for the formation of the Himalayan Range
What is convergent boundary between two continental crusts?
500
This provides the BEST reason for the height increases of these Himalayan Mountains
What is a convergent boundary between the Eurasian Plate and Indo-Australian Plate?
500
This tectonic plate interactions is LEAST likely to produce volcanic activity
What is two converging continental plates?
500
A volcano found in the center of a tectonic plate tends to be a result of this phenomenon
What is activity at a hot spot?
500
This type of energy is primarily involved as acid rain weathers the limestone
What is chemical energy?
