Oceanic and continental convergent plate boundaries form

deep-oceanic trenches and volcanoes

island arcs, trenches, and mountains

Mountains and Mountain ranges are created by what kind of plate boundaries?

Continental and Continental Convergent

Continental and Continental Divergent

Oceanic and Continental Convergent

Oceanic and Continental Divergent

A subduction zone is formed...

when one tectonic plate sinks below another

at every type of divergent plate boundary

at every type of convergent plate boundary

What evidence did Wegener use to support his theory of continental drift?

Similar fossils found on different continents

Measurements of continental movement

What does the theory of continental drift state?

The continents were all joined together and slowly drifted apart.

There used to be more continents than there are today, but some are now underwater

The continents were once much farther apart and have since been moving together

Continents move by floating on water

What feature is formed on the continental crust at an oceanic-continental convergent boundary?

none of these features are formed at a oceanic-continental convergent boundary

What is the correct order (starting from the surface) of Earth’s layers?

crust, mantle, outer core, inner core

crust, outer core, inner core, mantle

mantle, outer core, inner core, crust

outer core, inner core, crust, mantle

In sea-floor spreading, molten material rises from the mantle and erupts

along the edges of all the continents.

How is it possible for new crust to be formed without increasing the surface area of the Earth?

Crust is destroyed at the same time it is created

New crust is underwater where it sinks

New crust breaks more easily than old crust

The Himalayas in Asia are an example of what type of plate boundary?

continent-to-continent convergent

What are Tectonic Plates?

The Plates that move the Continents

ThE PlaTES That MoVE uNdERGRound :)

the name of the super-continent that existed millions of years ago

another name for continental drift

Which of the following is NOT evidence for Continental Drift?

Land Bridges Between Continents

Magnetic Polarity of Iron Crystals

Matching Rock Types Across Continents

Matching Fossils Species Across Continents

This area on Earth has more active volcanoes than any other area.

Transcontinental Subduction Zone

What is the difference between magma and lava?

Lava is outside the Earth, magma is inside.

Lava is inside the Earth, magma is outside.

Most geologists rejected Alfred Wegener's idea of continental drift because...

Wegener could not identify the force that moved the continents

it did not agree with their current theory

Wegener was interested in what Earth was like millions of years ago

Wegener used several different types of evidence to support his hypothesis
