_____34. The boundary between mantle and the core.
a. Mohorovicic discontinuity b. Gutenberg discontinuity

_____35. Which is NOT true about Seafloor Spreading Theory?
a. Rocks are younger at the mid-ocean ridge
b. Rocks far from the mid-ocean ridge are older.
c. Rocks at the ocean floor are older than those at the continents.
d. All of these
_____36. Which evidence(s) that support the continental drift theory?
a. Evidence from fossils c. Evidence from rocks
b. Evidence from coal deposits d. all of these
_____37. Magnetic reversal happens when the North pole is transformed into a South pole
and vice versa and this is due to the change in the direction of flow in the crust
and mantle.
a. True b. False c. Partly true d. can not be determine
_____38. The word PANGAEA came from the_________.
a. Latin b. Greek c. Sanskrit d. Hebrew

a. Supercontinent b. Pangaea c. Laurasia d. Gondwanaland
_____40. Who established the idea of the continental drift theory?
a. Wegener b. Hess c. Dietz d. Mohorovicic
_____41. It is a process that occurs at mid-ocean ridges, where new oceanic crust is
formed
through volcanic activity and then gradually moves away from the ridge.
a. Seafloor spreading b. Continental Drift Theory
c. Plate Tectonic theory d. all of these
_____42. Another name for magnetic reversal.
a. Magnetic disorientation b. Magnetic flip
c. Magnetic anomaly d. All of these
_____43. Which of the following increases with distance from a mid-ocean ridge?
a. the age of oceanic lithosphere b. the thickness of the lithosphere
c. the depth to the sea floor d. all of the above
_____44. Which of the following can you infer from the continuous movement of the
lithospheric plates over the asthenosphere?
a. All the continents will cease to exist.
b. All the volcanoes in the Philippines will become dormant or extinct.
c. The continents will not be located in the same location as they are now.
d. The islands of the Philippines will become scattered all over the world.
_____45. The lithospheric plates are believed to be moving slowly. What is the driving
force
that facilitates this movement?
a. Gravity of the moon b. magnetic force at both poles (N and S)
c. convection current in the mantle d. the force of the sun
_____46. Plate tectonic theory is the unifying theory of seafloor spreading and continental
drift theory.
a. True b. False c. Partly true d. can not be determine
_____47. Because of convection current, the plates move slowly along tectonic
boundaries,
pushing each other, sliding past each other and drifting away from each other.
a. True b. False c. Partly true d. can not be determine
_____48. The _______________ is the layer of the Earth that lies below the lithosphere. It is
a layer of solid rock where the extreme pressure and heat cause the rocks to flow
like a liquid.
a. Mantle b. asthenosphere c. Moho d. core
_____49. This happens when the older seafloor sinks, the weight of the uplifted ridge
pushes
the oceanic crust towards the trench at the subduction zone.
a. Ridge push b. magnetic reversal c. convection current d. radiation
_____50. The plate tectonic theory mainly provide an explanation about the movement of
the lithospheric plates.
