21. a boundary along which two plates carrying continental crust push together

continental-continental collision

22. a boundary along which a plate carrying oceanic crust sinks beneath a plate with continental crust.

continental-continental collision

23. a boundary along which a plate carrying oceanic crust sinks beneath another plate with oceanic crust

continental-continental collision

1. What are the Earth's layers from the center to the surface?

inner core, outer core, mantle, crust

inner core, outer core, crust, mantle

crust, mantle, outer core, inner core

crust, outer core, mantle, inner core

4. Which of these did Wegener use to support his theory of continental drift?

similar rocks and similar fossils on different continents

sea-floor spreading and similar rocks on different continents

convection currents in the asthenosphere and sea-floor spreading

fossils from ancient organisms and convection currents in the asthenosphere

5. Studies of the ocean floor support plate tectonics because oceanic crust

is younger at the ridge and older near the trench

is younger at a trench and older near a ridge

is much older than continental crust

is about the same age as Pangea

6. Scientists think that the main driving force of plate tectonics is

convection in the asthenosphere

8. At a mid-ocean ridge, the pattern formed by magnetic minerals.

is the same on either side of the ridge

is randomly arranged at the ridge

is older along mid-ocean ridges and younger near ocean trenches

shows that hot spots in Earth's mantle cause volcanoes to form

10. The Alps are forming as a result of the European and African plates pushing against each other. This is an example of

continental-continental collision
