2.
Multiple Choice
The magnitude of an earthquake is a number that represent the
energy released by an earthquake
difference u arrival times between P- and S- waves
arrival time of the first P-wave
distance to the epicenter
3.
Multiple Choice
Which statement best supports the theory of continental drift?
Basaltic rock is found to be progressively younger at increasing distance from a mid-ocean ridge
Areas of shallow-water seas tend to accumulate sediment, which gradually sinks
Marine fossils are often found in deep-well drill cores
The present continents appear to fit together as pieces of a larger landmass
4.
Multiple Choice
Fossils of marine plants and animals are found in the bedrock of mountains many thousands of feet above sea level. The most likely reason for this observation is
the mountain were part of a mid-ocean ridge
the ocean level has dropped several thousand feet
transported materials were deposited at high elevation
forces within the Earth caused uplift
5.
Multiple Choice
The igneous material along the mid-ocean ridge was found to be younger than the igneous material farther from the ridge. This fact supports the theory of
dynamic equilibrium
crustal subsidence
superposition
seafloor spreading
