What feature is formed on the continental crust at an oceanic-continental convergent boundary?

none of these features are formed at a oceanic-continental convergent boundary

What is the source of energy that drives plate movement?

convection currents in the Lithosphere

the different densities of the oceanic and crustal plates

the friction force between the plates that move past each other

Based on the map, what is the best conclusion?

Africa was once a colder climate due to the glaciated state of its climate in the past

Africa and South America were once joined due to the presence of similar salt deposits

Asia and Antarctica were once joined due to the presence of coal swamps

Asia was once an underwater sea world

According to the continental drift hypothesis and the chart, the presence of similar fossils in South America and Africa supports which scientific idea?

South America and Africa were once connected together.

Animals easily and frequently travel from Africa to South America.

Species of animals probably traveled between continents on natural rafts (such as trees destroyed in tsunamis).

Land bridges once existed that connected the continents.

Fossils of ferns have been found on what two continents and what does this suggest?

Africa and Antarctica; Antarctica was once a warmer climate

India and Africa; Africa once once a colder climate

Africa and South America; South America was once a colder climate.

Africa and Australia; Africa was once under water

Which question can best be answered when doing an investigation about earth's layers?

Why do both the temperature and pressure increase as you move towards the core?

Why do both temperature and pressure stay the same as you move towards the core?

Why do both the temperature and pressure decrease as you move towards the core?

Which question can best be answered using the table?

How do we know solid nickel and iron are the outermost layer and solid rock the innermost layer?

How do we know liquid nickel and iron are the outermost layer and molten rock is the innermost layer?

Which question can best be answered using the table?

How do we know the density increases as depth increases?

How do we know the outer core is less dense than the crust?

How do we know the inner core is less dense than the mantle?

Which best explains how convection currents move in the mantle?

Warm, less dense molten material rises while cool, more dense material sinks creating convection currents

Cool, less dense molten material rises while warm, more dense material sinks creating convection currents

Warm, more dense molten material rises while cool, less dense material sinks creating convection currents

Cool, more dense molten material rises while warm, less dense material sinks creating convection currents
