TEST - Earth Science
6th Science - Plate Tectonics, Earth's Layers, Rock Cycle
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| What landforms are created at convergent boundaries? | Deep ocean trenches, mountains, volcanoes |
| What landforms are created at divergent boundaries? | Mid-ocean ridges, rift valley, seafloor spreading |
| What landforms are created at transform boundaries? | transform faults |
| Mid-ocean ridges and seafloor spreading result from what type of plate boundary? | divergent plate boundaries |
| Which type of rock changes to form sedimentary rock? | Any type of rock can change to a sedimentary rock if it weathers & erodes into sediments that are deposited, cemented, and compacted together. |
| What type of rock is formed from extreme heat and pressure? | Metamorphic Rocks |
| Fossils are often found in which type of rock? | Sedimentary Rocks |
| ______________ rocks are formed from cooled and hardened magma. | Igneous |
| ______________ igneous rocks are formed when lava cools ABOVE Earth’s surface. | Extrusive |
| ______________ igneous rocks are formed when magma cools and hardens BENEATH Earth’s surface. | Intrusive |
| Temperature and pressure both ____________ as we go deeper into Earth's layers. | increase |
| What is the difference between convergent and divergent plate boundaries? | Convergent plates collide together and divergent plates divide apart. |
| What is MOST common at transform boundaries where plates slide past each other? | earthquakes |
| What determines the type of plate boundary? | The direction of plate movement determines the type of plate boundary |
| What is true about the densities of plates that collide at a subduction zone? | The densities are unequal and one will sink below the other. |
| Which plate sinks at a subduction zone? | The more dense oceanic plate will sink below the continental plate. |
| What layers of the Earth make up the lithosphere? | The crust and upper mantle |
| The ______________________ floats over the _________________________. | lithosphere, asthenosphere |
| List the layers of Earth from the outermost layer to the innermost layer. | Crust Lithosphere Asthenosphere Mantle Outer Core Inner Core |

| What is the name of the major plate that includes South America? | South American Plate |
| What is the name of the major plate that includes the Pacific Ocean? | Pacific Plate |
| What is the name of the major plate that includes Australia? | Indo-Australian Plate |
| What is the name of the major plate that includes Africa? | African Plate |
