Which pair of words correctly describes the point at which the earthquake occurs and the point on the Earth's surface directly above where it occured?
  • Focus/epicentre
  • Epicentre/focus
  • Epicentre/Benioff zone
  • Zero point/epicentre
What is thought to move the plates around?
  • Convection currents in the mantle
  • The sea
  • Convection currents in the outer core
  • Mantle plumes
It is said that Yellowstone Park in the USA is the site of a supervolcano that could erupt at some point in the future. A supervolcano eruption:
  • would have no effect on the Earth - all the material would be blasted out into space because the volcano is so powerful
  • would affect only the area around Yellowstone Park
  • would affect the whole of North America
  • would affect the entire Earth
At which type of plate boundary is one plate pushed down into the mantle?
  • Constructive
  • Conservative
  • Conductive
  • Destructive
What is the name given to the places where the plates meet?
  • Landmasses
  • Continental shelves
  • Plate boundaries
  • Mid-ocean ridges
Earthquakes are formed in:
  • the sea
  • mountain ranges only
  • deep sea trenches only
  • areas where moving plates are temporarily stuck together
What part of the Earth is broken into 'plates'?
  • Crust
  • Mantle
  • Outer core
  • Inner core
At which type of plate boundary are fold mountains created?
  • Constructive
  • Conservative
  • Destructive
  • They are formed at the centre of plates, well away from plate boundaries
At which type of plate boundary do you get only earthquakes?
  • Constructive
  • Conservative
  • Destructive
  • Volcanoes occur at ALL types of plate boundary
Plates do not move smoothly. The rocks on either side become jammed together and incredibly large forces build up as the plates either side continue to move. When the plates finally become 'unstuck', which of the following natural hazards occurs?
  • Composite volcanoes
  • Shield volcanoes
  • Earthquakes
  • Ocean trenches
