The only thing I've seen on tests about the Moho is where it is and how seismic waves change after passing it. Other than that there hasn't been much more on any of the tests I've taken, but it will depend on who is writing the test.

Okay, yeah, rifts and ridges do form, but as robotman said it depends on how technical you get. Wikipedia? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Divergent_plate_boundary And that's also why I added a 2% disclaimer

I checked it with more than wikipedia: http://www.ceoe.udel.edu/extreme2001/mi ... ridge.html.

Our Regionals test had the Moho, but all it asked for you to do was define it. It's all on your state and the event supervisor, though.

What was the Nationals test like???

There where two sections one all multiple guess and fill in the blank the other section was a epicenter locating activity and graphing pacific plate movements

I thought the C div event was very... interesting. Kinda difficult, especially with it being so long, and it mostly being practical questions. I did think it was good though, wince it was split into two sections (Earthquakes and Volcanoes), so it was easy to split up, and that it truly did separate the good from the great, just like the supervisor said.

I concur. The test was enjoyable. Mr. Crittendon is my state supervisor as well so I have had the pleasure of taking 4 tests from him[(nats and states)*2]

Were all his events like that?

I liked how it was a long test, and I really enjoyed the amount of practical stuff that was in it.

What? Conor actually let you split the test? That's new, he refused to so much as let me answer anything, all he let me do was graph something =/

Yeah, he was like that at regionals/states, kinda, but we had to split it. I f we didn't we wouldn't have even come close to finishing.

now that DP's topic is freshwater, what do you think they will ask on the tests?
its such a narrow topic..
