Camarines Sur National High School: City of Naga

1) The document is a science assessment for 10th grade students on geological processes and landforms. It contains 10 multiple choice questions and 2 short answer questions testing students' understanding of plate tectonics concepts. 2) The multiple choice questions cover topics like plate boundary types, features formed at convergent and divergent boundaries, mountain building processes, and subduction. 3) The short answer questions ask students to explain what would happen if subduction ceased during continental convergence, and how and why divergence of tectonic plates occurs.

SCIENCE 10- POST ASSESSMENT


MELC 3 PROCESSES AND LANDFORMS

Name_____________________________________ 10-___________________ Date________ Score ___________


PART I. MULTIPLE CHOICES. Write the letter of your choice before the number.

_____1. A __________ plates cause seafloor spreading when beneath an ocean.


A. convergent B. divergent C. transform-fault D. subduction
_____2. At zones of ocean to ocean convergence the older, cooler and denser crust slips beneath less dense crust causing
a deep trench to form in an arch shape. Which of the following is not an example of this convergence?
A. Aleutian Islands B. Mariana’s Islands C. Japanese island arc D. Himalayas
_____3. What feature forms near divergent boundaries between two pieces of oceanic crust?
A. Mid-ocean ridge C. Non-volcanic mountain
B. Continental rift valley D. Trench
_____4. Which of the following describes the process of subduction?
A. Magma pushes Earth’s surface upward, but never breaks through
B. Large blocks of Earth are pushed upward along fault lines
B. One plate sinks below another due to differences in density
C. Erosional forces wear away the rock and soil surrounding already elevated land.
_____5. Complex mountain systems such as the Himalayas are the result of _____________________.
A. oceanic-oceanic convergence C. continental volcanic arcs
B. hot spots D. continental-continental convergence
_____6. At what type of plate boundary do plates move apart, resulting in the upwelling of material from
the mantle to create new seafloor?
C. convergent B. divergent C. transform D. subduction
_____7. Most of Earth’s volcanoes and mountain building occur _______
A. in the center of the continents C. at plate boundaries
B. in the Himalayas D. at volcanic island arc
_____8. The following are geologic processes occurred when continental plate and oceanic plate collide, EXCEPT
A. Trenching B. Subduction C. Melting D. All are correct
_____9. In which type of plate boundary where subduction processes does not occur?
A. Continental-continental convergence C. Oceanic-oceanic convergence
B. Oceanic-continental convergence D. Both B and C
_____10. Why does subduction does not occur during the collision of two continental plates?
A. because the other continental plate is denser than the other.
B. because the two tectonic plates have no density.
C. because the two tectonic plates are both of low density.
D. because the two tectonics plates are both of high density.
PART II. Briefly explain the following. Limit your responses in 50 words. (5 points each)

1. What will likely to happen when subduction ceases to occur during the convergence of two continental plates?
