What created the Hawaiian islands millions of years ago?

a massive earthquake and tectonic upheaval

How did Alfred Wegener explain why there were the same mountains on opposite sides of the Atlantic Ocean?

proposed that the continents were once together and the mountains have drifted apart

proposed mountains coincidentally formed chains that line up

proposed that all continents around the Atlantic have the same mountains

proposed that it was the same mountain chain and the ocean eroded it

How can tectonic plate movement cause extinctions?

when a continent is moved, this can change the weather and sunlight patterns

Tectonic plate movement can cause volcanoes to erupt, resulting in toxic air pollution that can lead to extinctions.

Tectonic plate movement can cause earthquakes which can cause landslides and tsunamis that can lead to extinctions.

Tectonic plate movement can cause the release of toxic gases from the Earth's mantle which can lead to extinctions.

How fast do tectonic plates move?

as fast as your fingernails grow

As fast as a light beam travels

Why didn´t scientists support continental drift?

Wegener did not know the mechanism for moving the continents

Scientists were not convinced by the evidence Wegener presented.

Scientists were not interested in the idea of continental drift.

Scientists did not have the technology to measure the movement of the continents.

How are earthquakes, tectonic plates, and volcanoes related?

volcanoes and earthquakes result from the movement of tectonic plates

Earthquakes and volcanoes are caused by the buildup of pressure in the Earth's mantle.

Tectonic plates are responsible for the formation of mountains and valleys.

Paleontologists often find fossils of the same species on different continents. Which provides evidence of Pangaea?

organisms could not travel across the oceans that currently exist

continents fit together like a puzzle

scraping of glaciers over land indicates Africa and South America had been close during the ice age

large hurricanes picked up carcasses of animals and carried them

How do volcanoes help scientists understand more about the composition of the mantle?

They expose fresh mantle materials that scientists can quickly collect and analyze before hardening

Volcanoes provide a way for scientists to measure the temperature of the mantle.

Volcanoes allow for the monitoring of the movement of the tectonic plates.

Volcanoes provide a way for scientists to study the effects of seismic activity.

Observe this diagram of a plate boundary. One statement BEST describes what is happening. It is that____

the denser oceanic crust is subducting under the less dense oceanic crust

the tectonic plates are moving away from each other.

The three types of plate boundaries are

Convergent, divergent, transform

Divergent, allegiant, insurgent
