Which of the following is evidence for plate tectonics?

Matching coal deposits across continents.

Matching goal deposits across continents.

Matching financial deposits across continents.

Matching building deposits across continents.

One piece of evidence we have for the Theory of Plate Tectonics is _______.

All the above options are correct

Which of the following causes Earth's tectonic plates to move?

Convection currents in the mantle

How is it possible for new crust to be formed without increasing the surface area of the Earth?

Crust is destroyed at the same time it is created

New crust is underwater where it sinks

New crust breaks more easily than old crust

Mountains are created when....

An Oceanic plate subducts under a Continental Plate

Two continental plates pull apart

A subduction zone is formed...

when one tectonic plate sinks below another

What is the spatial (size) and time (scale) for a VOLCANIC ERUPTION?

medium, gradual with catastrophic event

slow, gradual with catastrophic event

What is the spatial (size) and time (scale) for a METEOR STRIKE?

medium, gradual with catastrophic event

slow, gradual with catastrophic event

What is the spatial (size) and time (scale) for FOSSIL FUEL FORMATION AND EXTRACTION

medium, formation slow, extraction fast

large, formation slow, extraction fast

medium, formation slow, extraction slow

large, formation fast, extraction fast

Volcanoes exist, for example, Mt. Ranier. This supports the claim that plates move because...

volcanoes form when one plate subducts under another.

volcanoes form when magma blasts through the crust.

volcanoes were always on Earth.

volcanoes form in the middle of plates.

Rock types match across continents. This supports the claim that plate move location...

the continents must have once been together and have since moved apart.

the rocks were taken by people to other continents.

the rocks were transported by ocean currents.

the rocks formed after the plates moved.

If there is a divergent boundary on one edge of a plate

there is a convergent subduction boundary on the other.

there is a transform boundary on the other.

there is a divergent boundary on the other too.
