How do Earth’s landforms support the Theory of Continental Drift?

They match up with other landforms on other continents that seem to fit together like puzzle pieces.

They show evidence of rock formation through volcanoes.

They indicate weathering and drifting processes like rivers.

They show identical climate patterns.

Which of the following correctly identifies the crust at locations 4 and 7?

Location 4 is oceanic crust and location 7 is continental crust

Location 4 is continental crust and location 7 is oceanic crust

Location 4 is oceanic crust and location 7 is oceanic crust

Location 4 is continental crust and location 7 is continental crust

Rank the layers of the Earth from thickest to thinnest?

Mantle, outer core, inner core, crust

Crust, mantle, outer core, inner core

Mantle, inner core, outer core, crust

Inner core, outer core, mantle, crust

Which of the following is an example of how climate might have changed in a region?

Tropical plant fossils in Antarctica indicate it used to be located closer to the equator.

Freshwater animal fossils found in North America suggest that it used to be closer to the poles.

Mountain ranges across continents match up like a puzzle.

The plates are still moving at a rate of 2.5 centimeters a year.

Why did most scientists reject Wegener’s theory?

He was unable to explain the driving force that was causing the continents to move.

He was a young and unknown scientist at the time.

He did not have any evidence to support his theory.

He had other theories that had been discredited in the past.

What do scientists believe is the driving force of the movement of plates?

Conduction, convection, and radiation in the mantle

Which of the following was not used by Alfred Wegener as evidence of continental drift?

Glacial deposits near the equator

Mountain ranges in Africa and South America

Fossils found on different continents

Why is the Earth separated into different layers?

The different densities of each layer cause them to separate and layer.

The different masses of each layer cause them to separate and layer.

The different composition of each layer causes them to separate and layer.

The different volumes of each layer cause them to separate and layer.

Which of the following are characteristics of oceanic crust?

Oceanic crust is mostly basalt and comprises the ocean floor.

Oceanic crust is mostly watery granite.

Oceanic crust is what makes up the silicon beaches.

Oceanic crust is the oldest crust.

Which of the following are characteristics of continental crust?

Continental crust is mostly granite and makes up the land we live on.

Continental crust is what makes up the ocean floor.

Continental crust is mostly basalt.

Continental crust has the greatest density of all types of crust.

Which of the following is the correct order of the temperature of Earth's layers from coolest to hottest?

Crust, mantle, outer core, inner core

Outer core, inner core, crust, mantle

Inner core, mantle, outer core, crust

Inner core, outer core, mantle, crust

What happens to the temperature within Earth as the pressure increases?

The temperature remains the same.

The temperature decreases and then increases.
