Transcript As two continental plates move toward each other, what landforms

1. As two continental plates move
toward each other, what
landforms would you expect to
see?
A. Volcanoes
B. Cliffs
C. Mesas
D. Structural Mountains
D. Structural
Mountains –
correct because 2
continental
masses will
push into each
other and
“crumple” the
edges to form
mountains
2. Where would you find the
newest land on Earth?
A. In areas of continental convergence
B. In areas where two ocean plates come
together
C. In areas where plates are moving apart
D. In areas where two plates are sliding
past each other
C. In areas where plates are moving apart
When plates move apart it is due to
magma reaching the surface. When
magma cools new land is formed.
3. Which characteristics are used to
classify stars?
A. temperature
B. brightness (magnitude)
C. mass
D. All of the above
A. temperature
B. brightness (magnitude)
C. mass
D. All of the above
4. If a star becomes a black hole at
the end of its life, it is a?
A. high mass star
B. nebula
C. low mass star
D. All of the above
A. high mass star
B. nebula
C. low mass star
D. All of the above
5. Galaxies are classified based on
their?
A. composition
B. color
C. shape
D. All of the above
A. composition
B. color
C. shape
D. All of the above
6. The moon rotates on its axis and revolves
once around the Earth at the same rate
which causes
A. day and night
B. the same side of the moon to always be visible from
Earth
C. the tides to change
D. opposite sides of the moon to be visible from Earth
A. day and night
B. the same side of the moon to always be
visible from Earth
C. the tides to change
D. opposite sides of the moon to be visible from
Earth
7. The moon and the sun appear to move
across the sky each day because of
A. the Sun’s movement in the sky
B. the Earth’s revolution around the sun
C. the Earth’s rotation on its axis
D. the Moon’s shadow on the Earth
A. the Sun’s movement in the sky
B. the Earth’s revolution around the sun
C. the Earth’s rotation on it’s axis
D. the Moon’s shadow on the Earth
8. How often do Spring tides and Neap tides
each occur?
A. two times a month
B. two times a day
C. two times a year
D. four times a year

Mangrove trees have special roots that let
them live in the somewhat salty water
where rivers meet the ocean. These roots
collect sediments, debris, and mud. This
gradually helps coastlines stretch farther
into the sea. Forests of mangrove trees
also provide shelter for wildlife. The high
winds of hurricanes and typhoons often
destroy mangrove forests.
9. The destruction of these forests most likely affects ecosystems by —
A reducing beach erosion in sea-turtle nesting areas
B reducing the amount of saltwater flowing into lakes
C causing pollution in inland rivers and streams
D forcing migratory birds to find other places to rest

B reducing the amount of saltwater flowing into lakes Increases
C causing pollution in inland rivers and streams Not the cause
D forcing migratory birds to find other places to rest – the birds would need a
new nesting/resting area
