Convergent b. divergent C, transvergent d. emergent Oceanic ridges are associated with what kind of plate boundary?Explanation / Answer
1. In correct order from the center outward, earth include which units?
Answer: C. Inner core, outer core, mantle, crust. EXPLANATION ( earth is layered like onion with outer crust, mantle, liquid outer core,solid inner core)
2.The asthenosphere is part of which interior shell of the earth?
Answer: D. Mantle. EXPLANATION(asthenosphere is the upper mantle region and lies below lithosphere)
3. Which one is the only molten, metallic, interior earth shell?
Answer. D. Outer core. EXPLANATION ( earth's inner core is solid and it's high temperature causes in high pressure and increase melting point of inner core, so the outer core is liquid)
4. Which is the thinnest of earth's different shells?
Answer: A. Crust. EXPLANATION ( the crust is the outermost layer of the earth, which only ranges 5-70KM depth)
5. Which shell forms the plates of plate tectonics?
Answer: A. lithosphere. EXPLANATION ( tectonic plates origin is together the crust and upper mantle termed as lithosphere)
6. The famous San Andreas fault in California is what kind of plate boundary?
Answer: D. Transform boundary. EXPLANATION ( transform boundary is defined as the the place where the tectonic plates slide sideways through each other. The san Andreas fault is transform fault)
7. At what kind of plate boundary is new sea floor created?
Answer: B. Divergent. EXPLANATION ( as tectonic plates slowly move away from each other, heat makes the crust less dense and less dense material form elevated sea floor and this spreading occurs at divergent plate boundaries)
8. Oceanic ridges are associated with what kind of plate boundary?
Answer: B. Divergent. EXPLANATION ( oceanic ridges are formed where two tectonic plates are spreading apart, that occur along divergent plate boundaries)
9. The Himalayas are a result of?
Answer: C. Continent-continent convergent plate boundary with crustal shortening and thickening... EXPLANATION (when two plates moves towards each other they result in continental collision and in this case the huge mountain ranges of Himalayas are a result of collision between two continental plates)
