1 The map shows the Earth’s continents.
North Europe Asia
America
Africa
South
America
Australasia
Antarctica
(a) Fossils of a plant species that grew 200 million years ago have been found in South America,
Africa, Antarctica and Australasia.
Explain why fossils of this plant species are found on these four continents.
These continents were once joined together, Now the continents moved apart
due to tectonic plate movement
[2]
2
(b) Suggest why the continents of North America and Europe are moving away from each other.
...........................................................................................................................................................................................
Movement of molten rock across the top of the mantle due to convection current in mantle pulls
..........................................................................................................................................................................................
/drags the tectonic plates along with it.
...........................................................................................................................................................................................
...........................................................................................................................................................................................
(c) Some students are investigating waves.
They produce waves by moving a piece of wood up and down in a tank of water.
The diagram shows the waves over a distance of 60 cm.
60 cm
(i) State the number of waves shown on the diagram.
5
number of waves = ........................................ [1]
(ii) Calculate the wavelength of the waves.
12
wavelength=.............................................cm [1]

2 The photograph shows a wave in a bay.
The wave was made by a passing boat.
floats
(a) Which of these best describes what is transferred by the water wave?
Tick the box of the correct option.
energy only
water only
both water and energy
neither water nor energy [1]
(b) Earthquakes are sometimes caused when plates in the Earth’s crust move.
The diagram shows some corks floating on water.
cork
water
Explain how this model of corks on water could be used to demonstrate what
causes the Earth’s plates to move.
You may add to the diagram to help with your answer.
Corks represents tectonic plates and water represents magma in mantle,
................................................................................................................................................................................
when water is heated as magma heated due to heat of core, convection current
................................................................................................................................................................................
occurs in mantle. The corks are dragged as convection current occurs in water,
..................................................................................................................................................................................
as the plates are dragged due to flow of molten rocks in mantle
..................................................................................................................................................................................[3]

(c) Musical notes can be made by rubbing the top of a drinking glass with a wet
finger.
The photographs show four different amounts of water in the glass.
The frequencies of the musical notes produced with three amounts of water are
shown.
1047 Hz 1174 Hz 1245 Hz f Hz
Which of these numbers could be the frequency, f, if it follows the same
pattern?
Circle the best option.
A 960
B 1109
C 1200
D 1290

3 The figure below shows two ways in which a wave can travel along a slinky spring.
(a) State and explain which wave is longitudinal.
Wave B, as coils move back and forth which is parallel to............
........................................................................................................................ the direction
of wave travel. In wave B, compression and rarefactions are also visible.
..................................................................................................................................... [2]
(b) On the figure above, use arrows to show the direction in which the points
P and Q are about to move as each wave moves to the right. [2]
(c) A student observed the planets and used the follwing key to identify them.
Jupiter
............... Mercury
.................... Venus
.................. Uranus
................................
1 a. Planet has ring.......................................................go to 2
1b. Planet does not have ring......................................go to 3
2a. Planet rotate on its side.......................................Uranus
2b. Planets rotates vertically......................................Jupiter
3a. Planet has visible craters...................................Mercury
3b. Planet has thick, smooth atmosphere................ Venus [2]
