Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions.

Continents and ocean basins represent the largest identifiable bodies on Earth. On the solid portions of the planet, the second most prominent features are flat plains, elavated plateaus, and large moutain ranges. In geography, the term "continent" refers to the surface of continuous landmasses that together comprise about 29.2% of the planet's surface. On the other hand, another definition is prevalent in the general use of the term that deals with extensive mainlands, such as Europe or Asia, that actually represent one very large landmass. Although all continents are bounded by the water bodies or high mountain ranges, isolated mainlands, such as Greenland and India-Pakistan areas are called subcontinents. In some circles, the distinction between continents and large islands lies almost exclusively in the size of a particular landmass.

The analysis of compression and tension in the earth's crust has determined that continental structures are composed of layers that underlie continental shelves. A great deal of disagreement among geologists surrounds the issue of exactly how many layers underlie each landmass because of their distintive mineral and chemical composition. It's also quite possible that the ocean floor rests on top of unknown continents that have not yet been explored. The continental crust is believed to have been forrmed by means of a chemical reaction when lighter materials separated from heavier ones, thus settling at various levels within the crust. Assisted by the measurements of the specifics within crust formations by means of monitoring earthquakes, geologists can speculate that a chemical split occured to form the atmosphere, sea water and the crust before it solidified many centuries ago.

Although each continent has its special features, all consist of various combinations of components that include shields, moutain belts, intracratonic basins, margins, volcanic plateaus, and blockvaulted belts. The basic differences among continents lie in the proportion and the composition of these features relative to the continent size. Climatic zones have a crucial effect on the weathering and formation of the surface features, soil erosion, soil deposition, land formation, vegetation, and human activities.

Mountain belts are elongated narrow zones that have a characteristic folded sedimentary organization of layers. They are typically produced during substabtial crustal movements, which generate faulting and moutain building. When continental margins collide, the rise of a marginal edge leads to the formation of large moutain ranges, as explained by the plate tectonic theory. This process also accounts for the occurrence of mountain belts in ocean basins and produces evidence for the ongoing continental plate evolution.

The author in the passage implies that the disagreement among scientists is based on the fact that __________.

A. Continents undergo compression and experience tension.

B. Continents have various underlying layers of crust.

C. Each continent has several planes and shelves.

D. Continents have different chemical makeup.

Các lục địa và các lưu vực đại dương đại diện cho bộ phậm có thể nhận dạng lớn nhất trên trái đất. Trên phần rắn của trái đất, các cấu trúc nổi bật thứ hai là đồng bằng, cao nguyên, và dãy núi lớn. Trong địa lý, thuật ngữ "lục địa" đề cập đến bề mặt của các liên lục địa liên tục chiếm khoảng 29,2% bề mặt của hành tinh. Mặt khác, một định nghĩa khác phổ biến trong việc sử dụng chung thuật ngữ liên quan đến các lục địa rộng lớn, chẳng hạn như châu Âu hoặc châu Á, thực sự đại diện cho một vùng đất rất lớn. Mặc dù tất cả các lục địa bị bao phủ bởi các vùng nước hoặc các dãy núi cao, các lục địa bị cô lập, chẳng hạn như vùng Greenland và Ấn Độ- Pakistan, được gọi là tiểu lục địa. Trong một số vòng tròn, sự phân biệt giữa các lục địa và các hòn đảo lớn hầu như chỉ có quy mô của một vùng đất cụ thể.

Việc phân tích sức ép và sức nén trong lớp vỏ trái đất đã xác định rằng cấu trúc lục địa bao gồm các lớp nằm dưới lớp thềm lục địa. Rất nhiều bất đồng giữa các nhà địa chất xung quanh vấn đề xác định chính xác có bao nhiêu lớp nền tảng cho từng vùng đất do khoáng chất và thành phần hóa học riêng biệt của chúng. Cũng có thể là đại dương nằm trên những lục địa chưa biết chưa được khám phá. Lớp vỏ lục địa được cho là đã bị tràn ngập bởi phản ứng hóa học khi các vật liệu nhẹ tách ra khỏi các lớp nặng hơn, do đó lắng xuống các mức độ khác nhau trong lớp vỏ. Các nhà địa chất học có thể suy đoán rằng một sự phân tách hóa học xảy ra để tạo thành bầu khí quyển, nước biển và vỏ trái đất trước khi nó đông lại nhiều thế kỷ trước.

Mặc dù mỗi châu lục có các đặc điểm đặc biệt, tất cả đều bao gồm các kết hợp các thành phần bao gồm khiên, đai cao su, các lưu vực intracratonic, lề, cao nguyên núi lửa, và các đai bị chặn. Sự khác biệt cơ bản giữa các châu lục nằm trong tỷ lệ và thành phần của các đặc tính này liên quan đến kích cỡ lục địa. Các vùng khí hậu có ảnh hưởng quan trọng đến thời tiết và sự hình thành các đặc tính bề mặt, xói mòn đất, lắng đọng đất, hình thành đất đai, thực vật và các hoạt động của con người.

Vành đai núi trải dài qua các vùng rộng lớn có các tổ hợp trầm tích đặc trưng của lớp. Chúng thường được sản xuất trong quá trình chuyển động vỏ trái đất, gây ra sự xây dựng đứt gãy và xây dựng. Khi biên giới lục địa va chạm, sự gia tăng của cạnh biên tạo ra các dãy núi lớn như đã giải thích bởi lý thuyết kiến tạo mảng. Quá trình này cũng giải thích cho sự xuất hiện của các vành đai núi trong các lưu vực đại dương và tạo ra bằng chứng cho sự phát triển của lục địa đang diễn ra.

A great deal of disagreement among geologists surrounds the issue of exactly how many layers underlie each landmass because of their distinctive mineral and chemical composition. It's also quite possible that the ocean floor rests on top of unknown continents that have not yet been explored. The continental crust is believed to have been formed by means of a chemical reaction when lighter materials separated from heavier ones, thus settling at various levels within the crust. Assisted by the measurements of the specifics within crust formations by means of monitoring earthquakes, geologists can speculate that a chemical split occurred to form the atmosphere, sea water and the crust before it solidified many centuries ago.

Although each continent has its special features, all consist of various combinations of components that include shields, mountain belts, intra - cratonic basins, margins, volcanic plateaus, and block-vaulted belts. The basic differences among continents lie in the proportion and the composition of these features relative to the continent size. Climatic zones have a crucial effect on the weathering and formation of the surface features, soil erosion, soil deposition, land formation, vegetation, and human activities.

Mountain belts are elongated narrow zones that have a characteristic folded sedimentary organization of layers. They are typically produced during substantial crustal movements, which generate faulting and mountain building. When continental margins collide, the rise of a marginal edge leads to the formation of large mountain ranges, as explained by the plate tectonic theory. This process also accounts for the occurrence of mountain belts in ocean basins and produces evidence for the ongoing continental plate evolution.

The author in the passage implies that the disagreement among scientists is based on the fact that 

A. Continents undergo compression and experience tension. 

B. Continents have various underlying layers of crust. 

C. Each continent has several planes and shelves. 

D. Continents have different chemical makeup.

Continents and ocean basins represent the largest identifiable bodies on Earth. On the solid portions of the planet, the second most prominent features are flat plains, elevated plateaus, and large mountain ranges. In geography, the term "continent" refers to the surface of continuous landmasses that together comprise about 29.2% of the planet's surface. On the other hand, another definition is prevalent in the general use of the term that deals with    extensive main lands, such as Europe or Asia, that actually represent one very large landmass. Although all continents are bounded by the water bodies or high mountain ranges,

 

isolated main lands, such as Greenland and India-Pakistan areas are called subcontinents. In some circles, the distinction between continents and large islands lies almost exclusively in the size of a particular landmass.
