  1. 1Who proposed Plate Tectonic Theory in 1915?
    1. AAlfred Wegener
    2. BRichard Burton
    3. CNed Kelly
    4. DDavid Harvey
  2. 2The theory states that the lithosphere is split into [blank_start]plates[blank_end] which float on the mantle and core of the Earth.
    1. Aplates
  3. 3The crust is thick compared to the mantle and core.
    1. ATrue
    2. BFalse
  4. 4The core causes the temperature of the mantle to [blank_start]go up[blank_end]. This causes [blank_start]convection currents[blank_end], which cause hot magma to [blank_start]rise[blank_end] and cool magma to [blank_start]sink[blank_end] in the mantle. The convection of the magma in these currents drags the plates in the crust in the [blank_start]same[blank_end] direction as the current through the processes of [blank_start]ridge[blank_end] push and [blank_start]slab[blank_end] pull.
    1. Ago up
    2. Bgo down
    3. Cconvection currents
    4. Dsea floor spreading
    5. Econtinental drift
    6. Frise
    7. Gsink
    8. Hsame
    9. Iopposite
    10. Jridge
    11. Krock
    12. Lslab
    13. Mcrust
  5. 5The core of the Earth is approximately 6000 degrees Celsius.
    1. ATrue
    2. BFalse
  6. 6How many types of plate are there?
    1. A1
    2. B2
    3. C3
    4. D4
  7. 7Continental Plates are much heavier than oceanic plates.
    1. ATrue
    2. BFalse
  8. 8Oceanic crust is composed mostly of [blank_start]basalt[blank_end], has a thickness of approximately [blank_start]5-10km[blank_end] and is [blank_start]younger than[blank_end] continental crust.
    1. Abasalt
    2. Blimestone
    3. Cgranite
    4. Dsandstone
    5. E5-10km
    6. F10-20km
    7. G1-5km
    8. H20-200km
    9. Iyounger than
    10. Jolder than
    11. Kthe same age as
  9. 9When a continental and oceanic plate collide, which is subducted?
    1. AContinental plate
    2. BOceanic plate
    3. CNeither
  10. 10Continental crust is composed mostly of [blank_start]granite[blank_end], has a thickness of approximately [blank_start]20-200km[blank_end] and is [blank_start]older than[blank_end] oceanic crust.
    1. Agranite
    2. Bbasalt
    3. Cslate
    4. Dsandstone
    5. E20-200km
    6. F10-20km
    7. G1-5km
    8. H5-10km
    9. Iolder than
    10. Jyounger than
    11. Kthe same age as
