Geography Year 11 Unit 2 practice quiz

Frage 1 von 34

1

Facts about Earthquakes: Within the earth, there is tremendous heat as much as 1500 degrees fahrenheit. Heat rises and tries to escape between and through the plates. Consequently, the plates may be displaced and/or ruptured.

Wähle eins der folgenden:

  • WAHR
  • FALSCH

Erklärung

Frage 2 von 34

1

An earthquake can:

Wähle eine der folgenden:

  • Make buildings split and crumble or fall into large cracks.

  • Destroy roads, railroad tracks, and bridges. Telephone poles and electric lines are ruined.

  • Change the course of rivers and streams. Mountains may have avalanches or be split and leveled, and flat land can become lumpy and even hilly or mountainous.

  • Break water pipes, cause flooding.

  • All of the above.

  • None of the above.

Erklärung

Frage 3 von 34

1

Many earthquakes take place on ocean bottoms.

Wähle eins der folgenden:

  • WAHR
  • FALSCH

Erklärung

Frage 4 von 34

1

Describe how tectonic plates work.

Wähle eine der folgenden:

  • They collide with one another and squish into big slabs of rock.

  • They are able to float due to the age of rocks. Since there are great variations in plate ages it can compensate for the length and weight of the crust, and since continental rocks are much heavier the much thicker crust below can hold it.

  • They are able to float due to the composition of rocks. Since there are great variations in plate thickness it can compensate for the weight and density of the crust, and since continental rocks are much lighter the much thicker crust below can support it better.

  • They are able to float because of the layout. The variations in where the plates lie allows them to move around freely and occasionally they will collide.

  • All of the above.

  • None of the above.

Erklärung

What does the term "Polar Dinosaurs in Australia" refer to?

  • The Dinosaur bones found in Australia, discovered by Scientist R.J Polar.

  • Some of the well-preserved dinosaurs in Australia that are believed to have lived in cold areas a long time ago.
