SCIENCE 10 Module 5 Summative Assessment Quarter1

This document provides a 15 question summative assessment on Module 5 which covers topics related to continental drift theory and plate tectonics. The assessment contains multiple choice and fill-in-the-blank questions testing knowledge of key figures who proposed and contributed to continental drift and plate tectonics theories, plate boundary types, evidence that supports these theories, and related geological processes like seafloor spreading and magnetic reversals.
