a. True

b. False

Q4. The Theory of Plate Tectonics describes the movement of crustal plates as being driven by hot, molten rock (magma) rising to (or near) the Earth's surface. This type of movement is best described as a(n)?

a. electrical current

b. convection current.

c. tidal current

d. ocean current

Explanation / Answer

Q1. b.divergent. The plate boundary where two tectonic plates drifts apart is known as divergent plate boundary.

Q2.a. transform. The plate boundary where two tectonic plates meets head on is known as transform boundary.

Q3. b. False. We have studied the geology of other planets and also of our moon.

Q4.b. convection current. The movement of heat through the hot fluid is known as convection. The currents generated through it is named as convection current.

Q5.d. noble gases. Noble gases are inert materials which have stable outter shell making them inert.
