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
