Quiz With Complete Solutions
Plate motion can affect other earth systems. Which of the following
|| || || || || || || || || || ||
statements would be false concerning the connection between earth
|| || || || || || || ||
systems and plate motion? - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-Plate motion
|| || || || || || || || ||
may affect changes in earth's atmospheric circulation.
|| || || || || ||
When we burn fossil fuels we are actually using sunlight energy that
|| || || || || || || || || || ||
was captured and stored over millions of years. Which statement
|| || || || || || || || || || ||
below is false concerning this process? - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-
|| || || || || || || ||
Burning these fuels stores some of the sunlight energy captured by
|| || || || || || || || || || ||
plants from long ago.|| || ||
Suppose a desert region like Australia is moved by plate tectonics so
|| || || || || || || || || || ||
that in 10 million years it is found centered at the hot and rainy
|| || || || || || || || || || || || || || ||
equator. Which of the following would be least probable changes to
|| || || || || || || || || || ||
its biology? Please choose the best answer. - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-
|| || || || || || || || ||
The total biodiversity would remain unchanged.
|| || || || ||
The climate of earth varies because continents, coastlines, and
|| || || || || || || || ||
oceans heat and cool at different rates. Which is not correctly
|| || || || || || || || || || ||
, matched? - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-Continental Interiors → slight
|| || || || || || ||
annual temperature ranges
|| ||
According to the modern theory of tectonic plates, what force
|| || || || || || || || || ||
causes the plates to move? - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-Convection
|| || || || || || || ||
currents in the earth cause the crust to move. Much like water
|| || || || || || || || || || || ||
currents in a frozen lake can cause slabs of ice floating on its surface
|| || || || || || || || || || || || ||
to move.
|| ||
Scientists think that the convection currents, which may be
|| || || || || || || || ||
responsible for the movement of plates, circulate through the -
|| || || || || || || || || ||
CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-asthenosphere/mantle
||
Which of the following best summarizes the plate tectonic theory? -
|| || || || || || || || || || ||
CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-Earth's crust is divided into moving pieces
|| || || || || || || ||
called plates that interact with each other, creating mountain ranges,
|| || || || || || || || ||
ocean ridges, and ocean trenches. Continents move with the plates.
|| || || || || || || || || ||
Plates move as they ride on convection currents within the earth.
|| || || || || || || || || || ||
About what total percent of the sun's energy received by earth is
|| || || || || || || || || || || ||
absorbed by all components of the surface and air of the planet? -
|| || || || || || || || || || || || ||
CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-70 ||
Part of the sun's energy that strikes the surface is used by plants in
|| || || || || || || || || || || || || ||
the process called photosynthesis. Why is this process important to
|| || || || || || || || || ||
