Which of the following statements best describes the boundary between the two
tectonic plates seen in the map? - ANSWERSThe map illustrates a transform boundary,
where tectonic plates slide past each other as the Pacific Plate moves northwest and
the North American Plate moves southeast.
The Atlantic Ocean is expanding as a result of plate tectonics. Which of the following
explanations best identifies the type of plate boundary and processes occurring at the
Mid-Atlantic Ridge, as shown in the diagram below? - ANSWERSA divergent plate
boundary exists at the Mid-Atlantic Ridge where plates move away from one another,
leading to seafloor spreading.
The map above shows the locations of known volcanoes and earthquakes. Which of the

of the map? - ANSWERSThe enclosed area shows a hot spot in the middle of the
Pacific Plate in the Hawaiian Islands.
Which of the following would be most helpful to determine the soil texture of a sample? -
ANSWERSA density gradient tube and a soil triangle
Students want to determine how vegetation affects soil erosion. They collect four soil
samples of equal starting mass with different types of vegetative cover, as seen in the
table below. Each sample is placed in a three-sided plastic dish that can drain into a
beaker and is exposed to the same amount of consistent, steady rainfall for ten minutes.
The water and soil runoff are collected in the beaker and separated. The average
values for each sample are provided below. Which of the following is the control group
for this experiment? - ANSWERSSoil with no grass
