Re: Dynamic Planet B/C
Which of the following is not a characteristic of a continental-continental convergent boundary?
a. Mountain building
b. Strong earthquakes
c. Arc volcanism
d. None of the above
When seismic waves from earthquakes reach the boundary between the mantle and liquid outer core:
a. all of the body waves get refracted
b. all of the body waves get reflected, but none are refracted
c. all P-waves stop because they are unable to move through the outer core
d. all S-waves vanish because they cannot move through a liquid
Magmas that feed island-arc volcanoes:
a. are a result of decompression melting within Earth’s mantle
b. occur over very wide zones thousands of kilometers in width
c. are located near continental-oceanic boundaries due to magma generation in the Benioff Zone
d. rise along transform faults associated with nearby divergent boundaries
All of the following are features associated with Pangaea except:
a. Panthalassa Ocean
b. Iapetus Ocean
c. Tethys Sea
d. Gondwanaland
If a rock deforms under the influence of a stress, but then returns to its original shape when the stress
is removed, then the deformation behavior is described as:
a. brittle
b. plastic
c. elastic
d. ductile
