c. d.
37. How will you demonstrate to your classmates Continental Jigsaw Puzzle?
a. Explain to them that there are fossils of a certain animal found on all continents.
b. Discuss to them that there are coal deposits on Antarctica despite its current situation of inability to support a
wide variety of fauna and flora.
c. Demonstrate Continental Jigsaw Puzzle by fitting cut out drawings of Continents.
d. Show them rock formations on different continents that exhibits identical layers.
38. How will you discuss to your classmates the evidence from rock formations that support Continental Drift Theory?
a. Explain to them that there are fossils of a certain animal found on all continents.
b. Discuss to them that there are coal deposits on Antarctica despite its current situation of inability to support a
wide variety of fauna and flora.
c. Demonstrate Continental Jigsaw Puzzle by fitting cut out drawings of Continents.
d. Show them rock formations on different continents that exhibits identical layers.
39. The following geologic features/events occur near plate boundaries EXCEPT ONE.
a. mountain ranges b. volcanoes
c. earthquake epicenters d. Hot Spots
40. The following are plate boundaries EXCEPT ONE.
a. divergent b. Hot Spots
c. convergent d. transform fault
41. Which of the following plate boundaries undergoes the subduction process?
a. divergent b. convergent
c. transform fault d. Hot Spots
42. The following geologic features/events occur at convergent boundaries EXCEPT ONE.
a. volcanoes b. trenches
c. earthquakes d. mid-oceanic ridges
43. Which of the following best explains why the inner core is solid?
a. The inner core is solid as a result of pressure freezing. Liquids at extremely high temperature subjected under
tremendous pressure solidifies.
b. The inner core must be solid because it is made up of iron.
c. The inner core is solid iron which causes the Earth to be magnetic in nature.
d. The inner core is not solid because it is very hot and the extreme temperature causes it to melt.
44. The lithospheric plates are believed to be moving slowly. What is the driving force that facilitates this movement?
a. gravitational force of the moon b. magnetic force at the poles
c. convection current in the mantle d. the force of the atmosphere
45. During the 1960s, scientists were already equipped with gadgets needed to explore the deep ocean. What discovery about the
ocean floor is associated with the seafloor spreading?
a. Mountains are denser than the mantle.
b. The rotational poles of the Earth have migrated.
c. The crust of the continents is denser than the crust of the ocean.
d. The crust of the ocean is very young relative to the age of the crust of the continents.
46. John Mark said that trenches can be found at divergent boundaries because it is a crack or fissure below the ocean. Is he
correct?
a. Yes, because divergent boundaries produce cracks for they are moving away from each other.
b. No, because trenches are produced because of the melting of the edge of a plate boundary during the
subduction process in convergent boundaries.
c. No, because trenches occur at transform fault boundaries.
d. Yes, because trenches, rift valleys and oceanic ridges are products of divergent boundaries.
47. What is the best justification that the lithosphere floats above a hot molten layer called the asthenosphere?
a. The high temperature beneath the lithosphere causes a small amount of melting making it capable to flow
facilitating lithospheric plate movement.
b. If the asthenosphere is solid, there is no plate movement and there will be no earthquakes.
c. Volcanic eruptions emits magma which is hot molten material.
d. The asthenosphere is liquid because it is underground water.
48. Evidence from fossils support Continental Drift Theory. How will you defend this statement?
a. Preserved remains or traces of the same organisms from the past are located in several continents. This
suggests that the continents are once joined during the past.
b. Edges of continents seem to fit each other making it possible that they were once joined.
c. Coal deposits can be found in Antarctica making it possible that once it experienced a tropical climate.
d. Rock formations in different continents seems to have identical layers.
49. Which geologic events/features occur at convergent boundaries?
i. volcanoes
ii. mountain ranges
iii. trenches
iv. earthquakes
a. i,ii and iii b. i,ii and iv
c. I,iii and iv d. ii,iii, and iv
50. Which of the following are evidences that support Continental Drift Theory?
i. Fossils
ii. Continental Jigsaw Puzzle
iii. Rock Formations
iv. Coal deposits
v. Magnetic Reversal
