Two pieces of evidence indicating that Plate Tectonics is currently occurring are: A: We have drilled through the crust and into the mantle to watch convection occur B: There are freshwater animal fossils on continents separated by large oceans C: The Continent shapes fit together like pieces of a puzzle D: We have sent submarines down to watch two ocean plates move away from each other a. A and B b. A and C c. A and D d. B and C e. B and D 39. Every silicate mineral contains: a. Iron (Fe) and Magnesium (Mg) b. Iron (Fe) and Silicon (Si) c. Silicon (Si) and Oxygen (O) d. Magnesium (Mg) and Silicon (Si) e. We can not identify quartz, because its physical properties are very different between samples 40. Is cardboard a mineral? a. Yes b. No 41. Is ice a mineral? a. Yes b. No 42. How can we identify quartz even though different samples have different colors? a. We can determine the hardness by scratching it on glass b. We can look at the luster c. We can test it to see if it reacts with acid d. We could do all of these tests

Explanation / Answer

35. The deepest earthquakes happens in the subduction zone where one oceanic plate subduction under a continental plate and this happens in the convergent boundary. a is correct.

36. The figure looks like “ Ring of fire” which is a place of existence of high number of volcanoes, earthquakes and oceanic trenches which is formed by subduction of one plate under another and this happens in oceanic continental convergent boundary. b is correct.

37. By seeing the topography and the age of the sea floor we can say that the Center is different while both side we have same age and topography and hence we are basically seeing the mid oceanic ridge in this figure which is because of divergent boundary. C is correct.

38. If we see the globe we find that all plate fit together just like a zigsaw puzzle and there are freshwater animal’s fossils present on continents separated by oceans these two are evidence so d is correct.

As per Chegg’s policy we are only adviced to attempt first 4 parts of a questioner, please post the remaining questions as a different questioner. Thanks
