EOSC MIDTERM QUIZZES ACTUAL 2025/2026 QUESTIONS AND 100% CORRECT ANSWERS Module A Test 1: Nature of Science 1. How might a river delta spoil to some degree the "jigsaw fit of the continents" when attempting a reconstruction of ancient continental configurations? (Choose the best one) A. Deltas are areas of active erosion and as such the original outline of the continent will be altered. B. Deltas tend to obscure "split-units" that would otherwise help in estimating the original location of the continents. C. Deltas are areas of active deposition of sediment that build out into an ocean and as such alter the original outline of the continent. D. As deltas are features that are restricted to lakes, it is unlikely that they would have any effect on the reconstruction of ancient continental locations. E. Deltas are features restricted to high mountains and as such are unlikely to have any effect in the reconstruction of ancient continental locations. - Answer -C 2.
