Uggghh are "earthquakes and volcanoes" good enough for tectonics?
Tectonics is a brand-new topic, so that's why there are no tests. Earthquakes and Volcanoes is a different topic, but it definitely helps to know the basics of that info, since event supervisors will probably use some of the info this year. The Captains Tryouts tests will probably be posted in January, so you'll get one Tectonics test then.

Adding off of this, I did Earthquakes and Volcanoes when it was last around. When I compare that to the current topic, Tectonics is a lot more broad in its scope. Earthquakes and Volcanoes are still included within the event, but there's a lot else involved with the event now that isn't going to be covered in old tests simply because it wasn't required. So while topics found in those old tests are likely to remain relevant, keep in mind that there is another newly added dimension to the event.

I found this test online and I thought it was helpful to study from.

Do you guys have any good free online textbooks that I could read for tectonics?

So there were some conflicts for invites and I ended up volunteering to do Dynamic Planet. Anyone have any tips?
