Attempt History Attempt Time Score LATEST Attempt 1 30 minutes 20 out of 20 Answers will be shown after your last attempt Score for this attempt: 20 out of 20 Submitted Jan 22 at 4:49pm This attempt took 30 minutes. Question 1 1 / 1 pts both are moving west Correct Problem 17-north is moving east, Problem 17-south is moving west This lab quiz is made up of questions from the Geotours Workbook activity listed in the title. After you have completed this worksheet, answer the following quiz questions. Do not attempt the quiz until you have completed the Lab. This quiz is made up of multiple choice questions for a total of 20 points possible on the quiz. You must complete this quiz after you start it. You cannot save the quiz and return to complete it later. You will have 30 minutes to complete the quiz. If you miss a question, you will be able to see the question you missed and the answer you submitted. You will not see the correct answer. Looking up the correct answer makes quizzes a valuable study tool for students. You will have 2 attempts available, but different questions on the same topics may appear on each attempt. The highest score will count toward your grade. A017) Transform Boundary - Mid-Atlantic Ridge. Which direction are the placemarks for Problem 17-north and Problem 17-south moving, respectively? Think about the process of rifting at the mid-ocean ridges.

Assume that the earthquake depths define the Wadati-Benioff zone for the subducting slab. Compare your answers to Problems 9-12 and choose the statement that best describes your observations. A018) Transform Boundary - San Andreas Fault, CA. Check and double-click the Problem 18 folder to see a drywash (blue line) that was offset by the San Andreas Fault. What type of transform fault is the San Andreas Fault? Imagine walking toward the fault zone along the offset feature, and think about which direction you would look to see the other piece of the offset feature. A016) Transform Boundary - Mid-Atlantic Ridge. Which direction are the placemarks for Problem 16-north and Problem 16-south moving, respectively? Think about the process of rifting at the mid-ocean ridges.

What is the approximate age of the bend in the Hawaiian Island–Emperor Seamount hot-spot chain ( should you use the age of the volcanic features or the age of the seafloor)? A019) Check the box next to the Seafloor Age Map folder to view the ages of the oceanic crust around the world. Note that you can select the folder and use the transparency slider at the bottom of the Places panel to make the items in this folder semi-transparent. Turn on the Tectonic Plates folder (divergent = red, convergent = green, and transform = light blue). Also, in the Layers panel, turn on Borders and Labels and Gallery > Volcanoes . Oceanic Hot Spots - Hawaiian Island–Emperor Seamount Chain. Make the Seafloor Age Map semi-transparent, and turn on the Hawaiian Island–Emperor Seamount Chain folder to show their age of formation in millions of years (Ma). Use the Ruler tool to measure the distance between Midway Atoll and Kilauea (cm; Problem 19 placemarks) and calculate the average velocity of the Pacific Plate in cm per year. A001) Worksheet Resources Google Earth - Open the 2. Exploring Geology Using Geotours > B. Plate Tectonics folder. Problem Materials - Check and double-click items associated with each problem to travel to the appropriate location with the prescribed perspective/zoom. Plate Tectonics Geotours Library - Explore additional Geotours in this folder to help answer problems. Geoscience - Consult a textbook and/or Internet resources to help answer some problems.

Note that you can select the folder and use the transparency slider at the bottom of the Places panel to make the items in this folder semi-transparent. Check and double-click the Africa & South America placemarks to fly to their positions on the opposite sides of the Atlantic Ocean. These placemarks represent conjugate points (locations on the opposite sides of an ocean that were once adjacent before seafloor spreading occurred). These points are located on the boundary between the continental shelf and the continental slope . Although the fit between the African and South American coastlines had been recognized for some time, Wegener showed that carefully matching continental shelves improves this fit. Seafloor Spreading - Atlantic Ocean. Use the Ruler tool to determine how far these points have moved apart (in km). Select the Path tab on the Ruler tool and then create segments along the major fracture zone that offsets the colored ages of the ocean floor (round to the nearest 1000 km). A004) Seafloor Spreading - Atlantic Ocean. Express your average spreading rate answer for Problem 3 in terms of cm per year. Note– If the plates are moving apart symmetrically at the same rate (i.e., the color band widths are approximately equal), then 1/2 of this answer is the average rate at which the South American plate is moving west and the African plate is moving east.
