NR 150 OCEANOGRAPHY EXAM 1 UPDATED ACTUAL Questions and CORRECT Answers The oceanic crust is made of __________ ? - CORRECT ANSWER- Basalt About ____ percent of Earth's water is found in the ocean. - CORRECT ANSWER- 97% A boundary in which crustal plates move past one another is called a: - CORRECT ANSWER- Transform Fault

What does plate tectonics refer to? correct answers It is a theory explaining the movement of the Earth's crust -Earth's crust is not solid but rather a bunch of pieces (or 'plates') that move on the surface of the Earth. Similar to cracked egg shell. We need all three boundary types for plates to move around Earth's surface: -Convection currents -- drives the movement -Mid-ocean ridge -- spreading center Subduction zones -- oceanic trench site of crust destruction What is the maj...

Why do earthquakes occur? correct answers - release of energy in response to a build up of stress along a fracture - energy released in sudden bursts due to stick-slip behavior Why do we see stick slip behavior? correct answers faults are not smooth so the jagged edge causes friction What are the four different types of faults? correct answers - normal faults (with gravity) - transform faults (sideways motion) - reverse faults (against gravity, high angle) - thrust faults (against grav...
