2 Summative Test Science 10 Modules 3 and 4

This document appears to be a study guide for a science test covering Modules 3 and 4 on plate tectonics. It contains 14 multiple choice questions testing concepts like the locations of new oceanic lithosphere formation, partial melting, types of plate boundaries, rates of seafloor spreading, and evidence supporting plate tectonics theory. The questions cover topics like plate boundary types, associated geological features, and mechanisms of plate motions.
