Dynamic Earth

As you travel from the inner core to the crust, how would temperature, pressure and density of the material change?

• The would all increase
• The would all decrease.
• They would stay the same.  
• Temperature would decrease, but pressure and density would increase. 

What does the theory of Continental Drift state?

• The continents were once joined in a super-continent and have moved over time
• Continents are stationary and do not move
• The Earth is broken into lithospheric plates that move due to convection currents
• none of the above

Name the boundary

• convergent boundary
• divergent boundary
• transform boundary
• sergent boundary

A subduction zone is formed...

• a denser tectonic plate sinks below another
• at every type of convergent plate boundary
• at every type of divergent plate boundary
• at transform boundaries

Scientists think that convection currents that move the plates flow in Earth's:

• Continental crust
• Oceanic crust
• Mantle 
• Lithosphere

The hard physical layer of Earth made of solid rock and soil is called the ___________. 

• mesosphere
• lithosphere
• asthenosphere
• mantle

In the image, which type of boundary is shown? Hint: its located in the state of California. 

• divergent
• convergent
• transform fault

Look at the image. The South American and Nazca plates are moving together. Which type of boundary is this? 

• divergent
• convergent
• transform fault
