Tectonic Plates and Continental Drift

Based on the video, the Lithosphere that includes the crust is divided into pieces called

(a)  

The video mentioned that the movements of plates in the lithosphere are responsible for the following EXCEPT:

• Mountain Building

• Oceanic Trench Formation

• Earthquakes

• Magma Formation

In the video, it was stated that this layer underneath the lithosphere and flow relatively easy.

(a)  

Based on the video, it is the liquid layer of the earth and responsible for the Earth's magnetic field.

(a)  

The continental drift theory states that continents had once been joined together as a supercontinent later called  (a)   .

There were several evidence that the continents were once joined together.

The evidences include the following EXCEPT:

• Fossil evidence

• Climate evidence

• Tectonic Fit

• Rocks and Minerals

The video mentioned that Alfred Wagner proposed this theory.

(a)  

The Tectonic Plates theory states that the Earth's outermost layer is fragmented into dozen or more large and small solid slabs called (a)   .

This is the circulation process that causes the movement in the Earth's tectonic plates.

(a)  

A type of plate boundary that occurs when plates move away from each other.
