Question 17. The modern theory of plate tectonics states
  1.    the creation of oceanic crust and the drifting of continents
  2.    the convention currents within the earth's mantle cause the creation of new oceanic crust at the mid
  3.    that the oceanic crust is destroyed at areas where this crust type becomes subducted under the light
  4.    All of the above
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option D. -> All of the above
Plate tectonics is the theory that Earth's outer shell is divided into several plates that glide over the mantle, the rocky inner layer above the core. The plates act like a hard and rigid shell compared to Earth's mantle.

Question 20. The major control over the form of the developing slope is exerted by
  1.    inputs to the hill slope
  2.    outputs from the hill slope
  3.    balance between inputs and outputs from the hill slope system
  4.    None of the above
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> balance between inputs and outputs from the hill slope system
The balance between inputs and outputs from the hillslope system exerts a major control over the form of the developing slope. In situations where inputs are the controlling factor, the slope is said to be weathering limited because outputs quickly remove any accumulating debris.
