  • According to the theory explained above, land masses belonged to a supercontinent called: Pangaea
  • In seafloor spreading, the formation of a new oceanic crust originates from molten rocks beneath the earth
    which rises, cools down and solidifies. What type of rock can emerge from this process? : Extrusive Igneous
  • The movement of plates along side of each other in different directions that causes earthquakes : Lateral
  • Erosion is a very common phenomenon in the planet. All agents below are environmental factors, except: Mining and quarrying
  • A vertical movement of Earth’s crust that involves the uplift or subsidence of crust alon the line of
    weakness: Faulting
  • This is a phenomenon wherein the land masses located in mid-ocean ridges start to split away from one
    another, creating a new ocean floor: Seafloor Spreading
  • Faulting usually occur when plates break and move away from one anothe. Which land form cannot occur
    in these areas?: Mountains
  • A fold occurs when rock is compressed, as it is along colliding plate boundaries called?: Convergent boundary
  • Alfred Wegener believes that continental land masses are moving across the Earth. He called this theory: Continental Drift Theory
  • Mr. Kelzy accidentally touched the hot pot while cooking sinigang for his family. As he observe the
    phenomena, he noticed that the heat transferred directly in his hand. What do you called this heat transfer
    process?: Conduction
  • Carl Friedrich Mohs : Scale of Mineral Hardness :Alfred Lothar Wegener : Continental Drift Theory
  • Metamorphic rocks : Metamorphism :Sedimentary Rock : Sedimentation
  • Rockslide: Rocks :: Landslide : Soil
  • Physical Weathering : Disintegration:: Chemical Weathering : Decomposition
  • Great Continent : Pangaea :: Great Ocean :Panthalassa
  • These geological processes occur on the surface of the Earth:Exogenic
    Process
  • These are large slabs of rock that divide Earth's crust which move constantly to reshape the Earth's landscape:Tectonic
    Plates
  • This process describes how rocks are formed via the compaction of molecules together to form crystallized
    solid masses of minerals, dust, and stones: Crystallization
  • These are geological processes which occur beneath the surface of the Earth: Endogenic
    Process
  • It is the natural process in which sediments are carried and deposited to the bottom of bodies of water and
    forms a solid layer: Sedimentation
  • The magma is generated and develops into igneous rocks that takes place either under or on the
    surface of the earth is called magnetism: Volcanism
  • The tectonic plate movement is a result of deformation of Earth’s crust: True
  • Metamorphism is an internal geologic process which occurs beneath the surface of the Earth: True
  • Weathering is the transportation as erosion is the disintegration of rock fragments: Erosion, Weathering
  • Plate divergence crust into each other and land crumples forming mountain and trenches: Plate Convergence
  • Compression squeezes rocks together resulting in reverse faults: True
  • Based on the geographical analysis of the world map, one of the evidences of continental drift
    theory shows how the coasts of several continents seem to “fit” together like a jigsaw puzzle: True
  • Seafloor spreading usually occurs in convergent boundaries to replenish the oceanic crust: Divergence
  • Areas in which the tectonic plates split apart and move away from one another are called
    divergent zones/boundaries: True
