contains most of the planet's air.
7. ________ is the force that holds the atmosphere to Earth.
8. The theory explaining that Earth's outer shell is composed of many moving segments is called
the theory.
9. ________ is the era where the dinosaurs live.
10. ________ is a long, narrow depression is formed when the sinking tectonic plate drags the seafloor
downward.
11. ________ is a 1 to 2 kilometer deep, several kilometers wide, landform which splits many segments of
the oceanic-ridge crust.
12. ________ is the earth’s innermost and the hottest section, it contains one third of the earth Mass.

move in different directions.
14. Places where tectonic plates move apart are called ________.
15. Most earthquakes occur near the ____ of tectonic plates.
16. A _____ is an instrument that records earthquake waves.
17. The amount of energy released by an earthquake is measured by its ___ .
18. ________ is a supercontinent which thought to have existed during the Paleozoic and Mesozoic eras,
before the process of plate tectonics separated each of the component continents into their current
configuration.
19. ________ is the resistance to a change in the body’s acceleration, or the resistance to a disturbance of
the body’s equilibrium.
20. ________ is the ability to control equilibrium either static or dynamic.

II. MODIFIED TRUE OR FALSE (15 points)

DIRECTIONS: Write T if the statement is correct. If not, change the underlined word/s to make
the statement correct. Write your answer on the space provided before each number.
______________1. Two tectonic plates that are moving away from each other form a convergent plate boundary.
______________2. The Earth’s tectonic plates move because of the convection currents below the lithosphere.
______________3. Earthquakes are triggered in the transform boundary.
______________4. The type of tectonic plate boundary involve in the collision between two tectonic plates is
divergent boundary.
______________5. Trenches are formed when two continental plates collide.
______________6. A fault is a fracture in a rock caused by the sudden movement of the crust.
______________7. Earthquake is he shaking or trembling caused by the sudden release of energy.
______________8. The point directly above the focus on the surface is the epicenter.
______________9. A trench is a vent or opening in the ground in which hot gasses, rocks, and lava are ejected.
______________10. Seismology is the field of science that deals with the study of the different processes, events,
and history of the Earth.
______________11. The geologic time scale is a summary of the major events in earth’s history.
______________12. It is estimated that the earth formed along with the solar system 4.6 billion years ago.
______________13. Era is the largest segment of geologic time
______________14. Seismic waves are vibrations that are usually generated by earthquakes or explosions and are
propagated within the Earth or along its surface.
______________15. The center of gravity is the point at which all parts of an object are equally balanced

III. IDENTIFICATION (15 points)

DIRECTION: Identify the different concepts in Science. Write your answer on the space
provided below.

1. Identify the different types of Plate B oundaries.

2. Identify the Three Types of Faults.

3. Identify the different types of Seismic Waves.

4. Identify the Layers of the Earth.

IV. ESSAY (10 points)
DIRECTION: Formulate an idea that answers the question below.

1. During the time of Alfred Wegener, a lot of geologists did not believe in his theory about
the continental drift. At present, we have a lot of learning materials to study about these
theories of the Earth. Do you believe that once upon a time our continents came from one
large mass called Pangaea an d gradually drifted as they are now? Explain your answer.
