Title: Which of the following describes the events of the Acadian Orogeny? Post by: tameeka314 on Feb 24, 2018 Which of the following describes the events of the Acadian Orogeny?
A) Closing of the marginal sea caused a volcanic arc to be thrust over the continent B) North America collided with a microcontinent as the marginal sea continued to close C) The sea along North America closed completely as Africa collided with North America D) The rifting of Pangaea opened the modern Atlantic Ocean Q. 2 - Which of the following describes the events of the Taconic Orogeny? A) Closing of the marginal sea caused a volcanic arc to be thrust over the continent B) North America collided with a microcontinent as the marginal sea continued to close C) The sea along North America closed completely as Africa collided with North America D) The rifting of Pangaea opened the modern Atlantic Ocean Q. 3 - As India is colliding with Asia, the margin of Asia is experiencing significant deformation. What is happening to the rocks that are being deformed? A) They are being subducted into the mantle B) They are being melted to become magma plutons C) They are being displaced to the southeast to make up Southeast Asia D) They are breaking off to form microcontinents Q. 4 - India has been colliding with Asia for roughly 50 million years, a process that has uplifted the Tibetan Plateau. However, although the margin of Asia has been intensely deformed, India has remained largely intact. Why is this the case? A) Asia's margin is composed of soft materials such as shale and sandstone B) There is a mantle plume beneath the Asian continent that softens the plate, permitting deformation C) Asia's rocks are over 2 billion years old and are so dense they are sinking back into the mantle D) Most of India is tough, durable, ancient shield material and is harder than the newer Asian material Q. 5 - Which mountain range consists of the youngest collisional mountains on Earth? A) Himalayas B) Andes C) Grand Tetons D) Appalachians Q. 6 - Fold-and-thrust belts are the result of ________ stress whereas fault block mountains are the result of ________ stress. A) compressional; tensional B) shear; compressional C) tensional; shear D) shear; tensional Q. 7 - Which of the following locations is composed largely of accreted terranes? A) Illinois B) Hawaii C) California D) Colorado Q. 8 - 2. What predictions can you make from the hypothesis that global temperatures are rising? Think of predictions beyond those discussed in this chapter. What will be an ideal response? Title: Which of the following describes the events of the Acadian Orogeny?
