Life & Earth Systems: Unit 1–4 Quiz


Life & Earth Systems: Unit 1–4 QuizOnline version Key concepts from four AMSCO units by Olivia 1 1. Big Bang Theory: The universe began as a hot, dense state and has expanded and cooled over time. Approximately how old is the universe? a 4.5 billion years b 13.8 billion years c 9.8 billion years d 13.0 billion years 2 2. Evidence for the Big Bang: Which of the following is evidence that the universe is expanding? a Cosmic microwave background radiation b Solar neutrino flux c Hydrogen/helium abundance d Redshift of distant galaxies 3 3. Spectra and Redshift: What does redshift indicate about spectral lines? a They move toward longer wavelengths b They remain at constant wavelengths c They disappear entirely d They move toward shorter wavelengths 4 4. Stars and the H-R Diagram: Where is the Sun classified on the H-R diagram? a White dwarf b Red giant c Yellow main-sequence star d Blue supergiant 5 5. Life Cycle of a Sun-like Star: What is the typical life-cycle path for a Sun-like star? a Nebula → white dwarf → main sequence → red giant b Nebula → protostar → main sequence star → red giant → planetary nebula → white dwarf c Nebula → brown dwarf → main sequence → neutron star d Planetary nebula → white dwarf → red giant → main sequence 6 6. Giant-Impact Moon Model: What event is proposed to form the Moon? a Direct condensation of a moon from the solar nebula b A captured asteroid became the Moon c A Mars-sized object struck early Earth d A giant comet collided with Earth 7 7. Relative and Absolute Time: What does relative time determine? a The exact numerical age of rocks b The rate of plate tectonics c The order of rocks or events without numeric ages d The history of life on Earth 8 8. Radiometric Dating and Half-Life: What is the half-life? a The time for a rock to cool b The time required for half of the parent isotope to decay c The time taken for all isotopes to decay d The time for the daughter product to form 9 9. Isotopes and Dating: Carbon-14 has a half-life of about 5,700 years. For what type of materials is it most useful? a Old, ancient rocks b Meteorites c Metal ores d Recent, once-living materials 10 10. ESRT Page 11 Connection: Which resources show Earth’s interior structure and surface/interior cross section? a ESRT Page 11 b ESRT Page 14 c ESRT Page 12 d ESRT Page 13 11 11. Crust-Age Reasoning: Why is oceanic crust generally younger than continental crust? a Oceanic crust is created at ridges and recycled at trenches b Continental crust is more dense c Oceanic crust never subducts d Continental crust forms faster 12 12. Continental Drift and Plate Tectonics: What provides the modern explanation for continental movement? a Isostasy b Plate tectonics c Ocean circulation patterns d Erosion theory 13 13. Seafloor Spreading: Where is the youngest ocean-floor rock located? a At subduction zones b At deep trenches c Near mid-ocean ridges d In the ocean basins far from ridges 14 14. Magnetic Polarity Evidence: What does magnetic striping at mid-ocean ridges indicate? a No relation to plate movement b Lack of magnetic field reversals c Symmetrical normal and reversed polarity supports seafloor spreading d That oceans are cooling rapidly 15 15. Rock Cycle: Which process forms sedimentary rock? a Deposition, compaction, and cementation b Crystallization from magma c Metamorphism only d Melting 16 16. Bowen’s Reaction Series: What does Bowen’s Reaction Series show? a The distribution of earthquakes b The order in which minerals crystallize as magma cools c The evolution of stars d The path of ocean currents 17 17. Divergent Boundaries: What features form at divergent boundaries? a Ridge, rift valley, new crust b Folded mountains c Subduction zones d Trench and volcanic arc 18 18. Transform Boundaries: What is a key characteristic of transform boundaries? a Deep-focus earthquakes only b Plates slide horizontally past each other, with earthquakes along faults c Crust is created d Crust is destroyed rapidly 19 19. Plate Movement Forces: Which forces contribute to plate motion? a Gravitational pull from the Moon b Solar radiation pressure c Tidal forces only d Mantle convection, ridge push, and slab pull 20 20. Hot Spots: What is a hot spot? a A relatively stationary source of rising magma within the mantle b A fast-moving plate boundary c A zone of subduction below oceans d A surface volcanic eruption only 21 21. Plate-Tectonics Calculation: How do you calculate plate-motion rate? a Rate = time ÷ distance moved b Rate = distance × time c Rate = distance moved ÷ time d Rate = distance moved × time 22 22. Regents Evidence Account: What types of evidence support plate tectonics? a Interior, material, movement, and surface-feature evidence b Only fossil evidence c Only seismic-wave evidence d Only magnetic evidence 23 23. High-Frequency Regents Mistakes: Which is a common misconception? a S-waves travel through Earth’s liquid outer core b Ocean floor oldest at the ridge c Transform boundaries create large amounts of crust d Lithosphere is not the same as asthenosphere 24 24. ESRT Page 12: What does ESRT Page 12 cover? a Global tectonic activity of the last one million years b Earth’s interior structure c Rock cycle infographic d Bowen’s Series and igneous rock composition 25 25. Chapter 7 Question Sample: What is one way to express scientific uncertainty? a By ignoring new data b By avoiding testing c By claiming absolute certainty d By using evidence and revising theories as new data are found
