This resource turns hot spots and mantle plumes into a complete, ready to use review for Grade 9-12 earth science, covering the same NGSS standard from three different angles.

The set includes questions like "What evidence supports the existence of mantle plumes?", "Which location is a result of a mantle plume?", and "How does the Yellowstone hotspot affect the surrounding area?"

What's Inside?

• 30 Multiple Choice questions as a separate print ready PDF worksheet
• 30 True or False questions as a separate print ready PDF worksheet
• 30 Short Answer questions as a separate print ready PDF worksheet
• Includes Answer Key with Explanations for all 90 questions

All three worksheets cover the same topic in different question styles. That means you can use one as a pretest, another for practice or homework, and the third as a follow up quiz, without students ever seeing the same question twice.
