## Earth Sciences Quiz ### Plate Boundaries 1. **Convergent** is a type of plate boundary where plates move toward each other. 2. A deep crack in the earth's surface is called a **fault**. 3. Plates move **past each other** at a transform boundary. 4. A boundary where plates move away from each other is called a **divergent boundary**. 5. The formation of most volcanoes is a result of a **divergent boundary**. 6. The **transform boundary** is responsible for the San Andreas Fault. ### Volcanoes 7. When magma reaches the earth's surface, it is called **lava**. 8. A **caldera** is a very large, bowl-shaped depression on top of a volcano formed by an eruption. 9. The three types of volcanoes are cinder-cone, shield, and **composite**. 10. **Mount Mayon** is the highest mountain in the Philippines. ### Earth's Structure 11. The outer core is made up of **liquid iron and nickel**. 12. The **core** is believed to be responsible for Earth's magnetic field. 13. **Endogenic** processes are caused by forces from within the earth. 14. **Exogenic** processes result from forces on or above the Earth's surface. 15. **Oxygen** is the most abundant element in the earth's crust. 16. The **inner core** is the hottest layer inside the Earth. 17. The correct order of the layers from the inside of the Earth outward is: **inner core, outer core, mantle, crust**.
