Question

This is a pick-out answer, NOT an essay. 1. Alfred Wegener included all of the following lines of evidence as supporting his "continental drift" hypothesis except one. Which was NOT part of Wegener's evidence? A. The geometrical fit between South America and Africa B. Late Paleozoic glacial features C. Similar fossils on widely-separated continents D. Stripes of reverse magnetism on either side of oceanic ridges 2. During an earthquake near Port Royal, Jamaica, the water-saturated sand on which the city was built vigorously shook. As a result, the sand particles lost contact with one another, giving the mixture the consistency of a thick milkshake. Anything supported by the ground, such as buildings and people, either floated or sank. One eyewitness stated: "Whole streets with inhabitants were swallowed up. . . . Some were swallowed quite down, and cast up again by great quantities of water; others went down and were never more seen." This is a description of . A. liquefaction B. tsunami C. landslide D. subsidence 3. The distance between a seismological recording station and the earthquake source is determined from the . A. earthquake magnitude B. intensity of the earthquake C. length of the seismic record D. arrival times of P and S waves 4. You are dropped off by helicopter at a site on the land. You are told that it is a plate boundary. Almost immediately, you feel a weak earthquake. You look around and note the absence of volcanoes, but you notice an offset stream channel, and find a vertical fault with two kinds of rock on either side of it. What sort of plate boundary are you most likely on? A. Divergent B. Convergent C. Transform D. Plate interior (hot spot) 5. Which of the following energy sources is thought to drive the lateral motions of Earth's lithospheric plates? A. Gravitational attractive forces of the Sun and Moon B. Electrical and magnetic fields localized in the inner core C. The upward movement of hot buoyant mantle and the downward pull of cold oceanic lithosphere D. Swirling movements of the molten iron particles in the outer core
