TEST II. Sequencing

A. Direction: Based on the figure below, use numbers 1-5 to sequence the process on how magma is formed which lead to volcanic
eruptions.

_____ The magma rises and collects in chambers within the crust. As magma fills the chamber, pressure grows until the pressure gets high
enough.
_____ Oceanic plates sink into the mantle below. As the oceanic plate sinks, fluid is squeezed out of it.
_____ When the pressure gets high enough, the magma can break through the crust and spew out in a volcanic eruption.
_____ The fluid flows up into the mantle rock above and changes its chemistry, causing it to melt and formation of magma.
_____ A denser oceanic plate collides with a continental plate.

B. Direction: Arrange the step by step process of converting geothermal energy to electrical energy. Choose your answers below
and write the corresponding letter to the numbered boxes, write your answer on a separate sheet.

A. The steam cools off in a cooling tower and condenses back to water.
B. When the water reaches the surface, the pressure is dropped, which causes the water to turn into steam.
C. The cooled water is pumped back into the Earth to begin the process again.
D. Hot water is pumped from deep underground through a well high pressure.
E. The steam spins the turbine, which is connected to the generator that produces electricity.

Test III. Enumeration
