Correct Answer: Option 1

According to the diagram layer D is the lowest layer. Hence, it is the oldest layer. And Fault F is the youngest. Hence, a sequence starting from D and ending with F with C, B and A in order represents a sequence with rock layers in order from oldest to youngest.

Correct Answer: Option 3 – density increases and temperature increases

With increasing depth, Earth’s interior is characterized by gradual increases in temperature, pressure, and density. Depending on the temperature and depth, a particular Earth material may behave like a brittle solid, deform in a plastic– like manner, or melt and become liquid

Correct Answer: Option 4 – Adirondack Mountains and Hudson Highlands

The Adirondack Mountains make up a circular region that is part of the Grenville Province, a large belt of basement rock. The oldest sedimentary rocks were deposited in shallow seas beginning about 1.3 billion years ago.

Correct Answer: Option 1

There are 3 primary types of Tectonic Plate boundaries: Divergent boundaries, Convergent boundaries, and Transform boundaries. As the giant plates move, diverging (pulling apart) or converging (coming together) along their borders, tremendous energies are unleashed resulting in tremors that transform Earth’s surface. While all the plates appear to be moving at different relative speeds and independently of each other, the whole jigsaw puzzle of plates is interconnected. No single plate can move without affecting others, and the activity of one can influence another thousands of miles away

Correct Answer: Option 4 – Limestone

A cave is a natural opening or cavity within the earth, generally extending from the earth's surface to beyond the zone of light. A limestone cave is a natural cavity that is formed underneath the Earth’s surface that can range from a few metres to many kilometres in length and depth. Over millions of years, acidic groundwater or underground rivers dissolve away the limestone, leaving cavities which grow over time.

Correct Answer: Option 3 – Olivine

Olivine is usually named for its typically olive-green color (thought to be a result of traces of nickel), though it may alter to a reddish color from the oxidation of iron.

Sulfur is a yellow crystalline solid.

Magnetite is a black, grayish in color.

Halite is clear white or blue in color.

Hence, options 1, 2 and 4 are incorrect.

Correct Answer: Option 2 – Cooling and Solidification of magna

Correct Answer: Approximately 1 hr 35 mins

According to studies related to tsunami and the map above it took approximately 1 hr 35 mins after the earthquake, for the first tsunami wave to arrive at Sumatra.

Correct Answer:

• Latitude: 3.4^o North
• Longitude: 96^o East

Correct Answer: Eurasian Plate

The Eurasian Plate is a tectonic plate which includes most of the continent of Eurasia (a landmass consisting of the traditional continents of Europe and Asia), with the notable exceptions of the Indian subcontinent, the Arabian subcontinent, and the area east of the Chersky Range in East Siberia. It also includes oceanic crust extending westward to the Mid-Atlantic Ridge and northward to the Gakkel Ridge.
