Check all true statements about the theory of plate tectonics.

• the Earth’s crust is made up of large areas called plates

• The plates slowly move on the Earth’s surface because of convection currents in the Earth’s mantle.

• At several points, the continents on Earth were pushed together into a single super continent.

• When the super continent split apart due to continued plate movement, the fossils of organisms on the super continent spread wide apart as well.

How are mountains formed at convergent boundaries? (Check all that apply.)

• The stress resulting from colliding plates can result in folding and buckling of the land or breaking of the crust into faults, which allows the land between the faults to become displaced.

• By sliding past each other, the plates create frictional heat which causes rocks to expand.

• When convergent plates collide, one plate is pushed under the other, causing the rock to melt and reemerge as lava through volcanoes.

• As the plates move away from each other, magma reaches the surface and cools to form new rock, which eventually builds up to the size of the mountain.

Most volcanoes occur at ___ and ___ plate boundaries, because___.

• transform...divergent...plate boundaries, tend to cause weakened curst that can allow magma to pass through.

• convergent...divergent...plate boundaries, tend to cause weakened curst that can allow magma to pass through.

• transform...recurrent....plate boundaries, tend to cause weakened curst that can allow magma to pass through.

• convergent...divergent...plate boundaries are the strongest places.
