UNIT QUIZ: Unit 6 Review Quiz

Take this quiz only after you've gone over the materials for this unit (Magma and Volcanoes).

This quiz contain 40 questions about the topics/ideas/concepts discussed in this unit and will be used to measure your understanding of these topics/ideas/concepts. Questions will be taken from both the readings and video resources presented in this unit.

You can take this quiz multiple times, but you'll need to get 80% or higher before you can proceed to the next unit. If you do not reach 80% on your first attempt, use it to identify your knowledge gaps (concepts from the video that you are still struggling to understand). Once you identify these gaps, go back to the reading and video materials and review these concepts BEFORE starting your second attempt at the quiz. Only the highest grade among all your attempts will be uploaded to the gradebook.
