What evidence supports the idea that continents were once connected?

Similar rock formations on different continents

Identical weather patterns worldwide

Uniform plant species across the globe

How do hot spots lead to the formation of volcanic islands?

Hot spots create magma that rises to form islands.

Hot spots cause earthquakes that form islands.

Plate tectonics recycle rocks through subduction and uplift.

Plate tectonics have no effect on the rock cycle.

Plate tectonics only create igneous rocks.

Plate tectonics only affect sedimentary rocks.

What is the significance of the fossil record in understanding Earth's history?

It provides evidence of past life forms and environments.

It shows that life has always been the same.

It only contains information about plants.

It is unrelated to Earth's history.

How does the age of rock layers help scientists understand Earth's history?

The age of layers helps determine the sequence of events.

Older layers are always found on top.

The age of layers is irrelevant to Earth's history.

What is a supervolcano, and how does it differ from a regular volcano?

A supervolcano has a larger magma chamber and can cause massive eruptions.

A supervolcano is smaller and less explosive.

A supervolcano only erupts underwater.

A supervolcano is a myth and does not exist.

What is the primary force that drives the movement of tectonic plates?

Gravitational pull from the moon

Discuss the impact of plate tectonics on the distribution of fossils.

Plate tectonics can move fossils to different locations.

Plate tectonics have no impact on fossil distribution.

Plate tectonics only affect marine fossils.

Plate tectonics destroy all fossils.

What is the relationship between plate tectonics and mountain building?

Plate tectonics cause mountains to form through collisions.

Plate tectonics cause mountains to erode.

Plate tectonics have no effect on mountains.

Plate tectonics only create underwater mountains.

How does the concept of continental drift relate to plate tectonics?

Continental drift is the movement of continents on tectonic plates.

Continental drift is unrelated to plate tectonics.

Continental drift only occurs in the ocean.

Continental drift is a theory that has been disproven.

What evidence supports the theory of plate tectonics?

Distribution of earthquakes and volcanoes

Identical weather patterns worldwide

Uniform plant species across the globe

How do scientists use the principle of superposition to date rock layers?

By identifying the oldest layers at the bottom

By assuming all layers are the same age

By measuring the temperature of the layers

By examining the color of the layers

What role do tectonic plates play in the formation of ocean basins?

Tectonic plates separate, creating space for ocean basins.

Tectonic plates have no role in ocean basin formation.

Tectonic plates only form mountains, not ocean basins.

Tectonic plates dissolve in water to form ocean basins.

What is the significance of plate boundaries in geology?

Plate boundaries are where most geological activity occurs.

Plate boundaries are irrelevant to geological processes.

Plate boundaries are only found in the ocean.

Plate boundaries are fixed and never change.

How does the study of fossils contribute to our understanding of past climates?

Fossils indicate the types of organisms that lived in different climates.

Fossils provide no information about past climates.

Fossils only show the age of rocks.

Fossils are unrelated to climate studies.

Analyze the effects of volcanic eruptions on Earth's atmosphere.

Volcanic eruptions release gases and ash that can affect climate.

Volcanic eruptions have no effect on the atmosphere.

Volcanic eruptions only affect the ocean.

Volcanic eruptions clean the atmosphere.

What is the role of convection currents in the movement of tectonic plates?

Convection currents in the mantle drive plate movement.

Convection currents have no role in plate movement.

Convection currents only occur in the ocean.

Convection currents stop plate movement.

How do scientists determine the relative age of rock layers?

By using the principle of superposition

By measuring the temperature of the layers

By examining the color of the layers

By assuming all layers are the same age

What is the relationship between tectonic plate movement and volcanic activity?

Tectonic plate movement causes volcanic activity.

Tectonic plate movement prevents volcanic activity.

Tectonic plate movement has no effect on volcanic activity.

Tectonic plate movement only affects earthquakes.

Evaluate the impact of plate tectonics on Earth's surface features.

Plate tectonics shape Earth's surface through mountain building and ocean formation.

Plate tectonics have no impact on Earth's surface features.

Plate tectonics only affect the atmosphere.

Plate tectonics only create deserts.

thicker, less dense, forms landmasses, composed mostly of granite, generally older than oceanic crust

thinner, more dense, located under oceans and seas, composed mostly of basalt, generally younger than continental crust

Boundary where two tectonic plates meet

A plate boundary where two tectonic plates slide horizontally past one another

process in which two lithospheric plates of different densities converge and the denser one sinks into the mantle beneath the other

A plate boundary where two tectonic plates move apart from each other

A plate boundary where two tectonic plates move toward each other and collide
