A Continental drift and division B Various definitions of the term “continent” C Continental structure and crust D Scientific analyses of continental crusts Question 56: According to the passage, how scientists define continents? A As masses of land without divisions B As extensive bodies of land C As the largest identifiable features D As surgical compositions and ranges Question 57: In the first paragraph, the word “bounded” is closest in meaning to _ A covered B convened C delimited D dominated Question 58: The author of the passage implies that the disagreement among scientists is based on the fact that A each continent has several planes and shelves B continents have various underlying layers of crust C continents undergo compression and experience tension D continents have different chemical makeup Question 59: The word “specifics” in the second paragraph is closest in meaning to A specialties B speculations C exact details D precise movements Question 60: The author of the passage implies that _ A it is not known exactly how the continental crust was formed B geologists have neglected the exploration of the ocean floor C scientists have concentrated on monitoring earthquakes D the earth’s atmosphere split into water and solids Question 61: According to the passage, what are the differences in the structure of continents?
