    Plate Tectonics
    Directions: Read the instructions and all the items in each test type carefully. Use black or blue pen
    ink only. Avoid any form of erasure, alteration, and superimposition on the final answer.

    I. Identification (10 items x 1 point)


    Write the items being described in the following statements on the blank before the number.
    Fold 1. It is a bend in rock.
    Sacrosanct 2. It is a term which means too important, valuable, and respected to be changed,
    criticized, or be interfered with.
    Fault 3. It is a fracture along which rock on one (1) side moved relative to rock on the
    other side.
    Anticline 4. It is a fold arching upward.
    Pangaea 5. It is the name of the supercontinent which all the continents were once part of
    as proposed by Alfred Wegener.
    Geologic Structure 6. It is any feature produced by rock deformation.
    Dome 7. It is a circular or elliptical anticlinal structure.
    Joints 8. It is a fracture in which rocks on either side of the fracture have not moved.
    Slip 9. It is the distance that rocks on opposite sides of fault have moved.
    Continental Drift 10. It is a hypothesis which suggested that continents are in constant motion
    on the surface of the Earth.

    II. True or False (20 items x 1 point)


    Write TRUE if the statement is correct, otherwise, write FALSE on the space provided.
    True 1. Deeply buried rocks have a greater tendency to bend and flow under stress than do
    shallow rocks.
    True 2. When rock deformation is brittle, faults or joints are formed.
    False 3. Stress applied suddenly, rather than slowly, favors plastic behavior.
    True 4. Rapidly applied stress, such as the blow of a hammer, causes brittle fracture in a
    marble bench.
    False 5. Pressure must exceed the internal strength of the rock otherwise, fracturing occurs.
    False 6. A normal fault forms where tectonic movement stretches Earth’s crust, pulling it
    apart.
    True 7. When rock deformation is ductile, folds are formed.
    True 8. The lower the temperature, the greater the tendency of a rock to deform in a plastic
    manner.
    True 9. Folding always shortens the horizontal distances in rock.
    True 10. Folding usually results from compression.
    True 11. Synclines form valleys.
    False 12. A rock moves repeatedly along many fault and fault zones because once a fault
    forms it is easier for a new fracture to develop nearby than move again along the
    same fracture.
    False 13. Oceanic crust is composed mostly of granite, an igneous rock rich in iron.

    True 14. Basalt records the orientation of Earth’s magnetic field at the time the rock cools.
    False 15. Most rocks near Earth’s surface are jointed, and they become more abundant with
    depth because rocks become more plastic and more prone to fracturing at deeper
    levels in the crust.
    False 16. Dams constructed in jointed rock often leak, not because the dams themselves have
    holes but because water seeps into the joints and flows around the dam through the
    factures.
    False 17. In a reverse fault, the hanging wall has moved down relative to the footwall.
    True 18. The sea floor is found to have alternating normal and reversed polarity, a pattern that
    is symmetrically distributed about the Mid-Oceanic Ridge.
    False 19. Fossils in the deepest layers of mud overlying basalt are very young at the ridge axis
    and become progressively younger with increasing distance from the ridge.
    True 20. Basins and domes form by the sinking or rising of continental crust in response to
    horizontal movements of the underlying mantle.
