Plate Tectonics (7s) Test

What is "Pangea" ?

• The semi-liquid molten rock the Earth's plates move on

• A continent made of all the continents that exised 200 mya

• Where earthquakes occur

• where volcanoes occur

The Richter scale measures

• Volcano eruptions

• The strength of Earthquakes

• The damage of Earthquakes

• All of the above

An Earthquake of a 8 on the Ricter Scale is how many times bigger than an earthquake of a 4?

Which ocean is growing in size? Which is shrinking? Why?

How does the theory of plate tectonics help us explain natural phenomena such as earthquakes and mountains?
