Week 10 Continental Drift/Plate Techtonics

Why did no one believe Wegener's theory?

• He could not explain how the continents moved

• He didn't have evidence

• His data was wrong

• He didn't use the right technology to gather data

What do you call the supercontinent landmass formed million years ago?

• Pangea
• Asia
• Pantallasa
• Eurasi

A tectonic plate is ____.

• what cavemen ate dinner on

• the Earth

• pieces of Earth's crust

• an underground mountain

What theory states that pangea was a supercontinent

• Continental Drift

• Chicken Sandwich

• Platicas Moviecus

• Alfred Wegener theroy

What are created when Continental plates clashed together.

• Moto Moto

• Mountains

• Canyons

• earthquakes

What are the 3 types of mountains

• Tall, Pointy, Smooth

• volcanic, ashes, and lava

• Folded, Fault-Block, Volcanic

• Godzilla, King Kong, Kijiji

Seafloor Spreading occurs at a

• convergent boundary

• divergent boundary

• transform boundary

• continental boundary

What type of plate boundary is shown in this picture

• a convergent oceanic-oceanic boundary

• a divergent oceanic-oceanic boundary

• a convergent oceanic-continental boundary

• a divergent oceanic-continental boundary

This picture shows

• a transform boundary where one continental crust is sliding past another continental crust

• a convergent boundary where one continental crust is moving towards another continental crust and mountains are forming

• a divergent boundary, where one oceanic crust is moving away from another oceanic crust

• a convergent boundary where one oceanic crust is moving toward a continental crust

This map shows volcanic and earthquake activity. Where is the highest concentration of activity?

• all along the Atlantic Ocean

• all along the Pacific Ocean

• all along the coast of Africa

• all along Indian Ocean
