through the crust.

a. subduction zone b. hotspot c. ridge d. earthquake belt

8. It refers to a narrow zone on the Earth’s surface where most seismic waves occur.

a. earthquake belt b. ridge c. subduction zone d. hotspot

9. It refers to a lowland region that is formed when Earth’s tectonic plates move apart.

a. ridge b. rift c. spreading zone d. tension

zone
10. It is a geological feature which consists of chain of mountains or hills that forms a continuous
elevated crest at a distance.

a. rift b. ridge c. tension zone d. spreading zone

11. It refers to the movement of a material as energy pass through it.

12. It refers to a hot molten material beneath the Earth’s crust.

a. mantle b. inner core c. asthenosphere d. outer core

13. It refers to the slow upward and downward motion of the Earth’s mantle caused by changing
temperature from the interior of the Earth’s surface.

a. convection current b. mantle plume c. ridge push d. slab pulls

14. It happens when asthenosphere and the rigid lithosphere have in contact carrying the plates
towards the direction of the force.

a. gravity b. convection c. surge d. friction

15. This theory explains that flow of mantle is generated by series of channels below the Earth’s
crust providing basal friction to the lithosphere.

16. It happens when there is a downward pull at the moving plates brought by the frictional
force.

a. surge b. friction c. gravity d. convection

in it.

a. surge tectonics b. plate tectonics c. plume tectonics d. mantle-convection

18. It refers to the high elevation of the mid-ocean ridges that causes the gravity to push on the
oceanic crust away from the ridge.

a. slab pull b. ridge push c. convection current d. rift valley

19. This happens when the cooler and dense crust are pulled by the force of gravity down to the
asthenosphere forming the subduction zone.

a. convection current b. slab pulls c. ridge push d. rift valley
