Using the image alone what evidence did Alfred Wegner use to develop the Continental Drift Hypothesis?

• The movement of Tectonic Plates

• matching rock types

• The Shape of the coastline

• Matching geological features

The light blue areas of the map are more shallow than the darker blue areas, what feature would you find at the light blue areas of the map

• mid ocean ridge

• ocean trench

• Mountains

• Island

In the image is an isochron map which color represents the youngest rock formation

• Blue

• Yellow

• Green

• red

How does the theory of plate tectonics suppor the continental drift hypothesis

• Seafloor spreading along mid-ocean ridges causes continents to move apart

• Transform plate boundaries cause seafloor spreading moving continents apart

• Seafloor spreading along ocean trenches causes continents to move apart

• Tectonic plates are too large to move.

What can be inferred about the location with low earthquake risk?

• These locations have too low of an elevation for earthquakes to occur

• These locations are not located on or near a plate boundary or fault line

• These locations are too mountainous for earthquakes to occur

• These locations are too far from the San Andreas Fault to be affected by an earthquake

If a city has had an earthquake in the past what can you infer about future earthquake risk?

• An earthquake is not likely. An earthquake never occurs twice in the same location.

• An earthquake is not likely. Earthquakes only occur on coastlines.

• An earthquake is likely. How frequently an area gets earthquakes determines its risk.

• An earthquake is likely. However, it will never exceed the magnitude of the first earthquake that occured.
