Plate tectonics review

According to the theory of plate tectonics, the movement of plates can form mountain ranges and valleys. Within the next 100 million years, the Great Rift Valley in Africa will likely become a

• folded mountain range

• flat eroded plain

• desert covered with lava

• wider and deeper valley

A foundational concept of plate tectonics is the idea that the Earth´s continents move in relation to each other. This means that at some point in history all of the continents formed a super-continent, Pangaea. What term is used to describe this movement?

• accretion

• continental drift

• Pangeaethics

• cosmology
