What is it?
Pangaea

Gondwana splitting up
fossil distribution
Area 1 stays solid mainly due to
its composition
its temperature
its density
pressure
Area 3 is the
inner mantle
crust
lithosphere
outer core
The

Most accurately depicted;

Wegener was a
dude
meteorologist
geologist
campanologist
Height most directly due to;
depth of sea
closeness of the shore
size of the earthquake
closeness to the earthquake
Earth's approximate diameter;
1300 km
13,000 km
26,000 km
2600 km
Land bridges
provided support for the theory of continental drift
were used as evidence against the theory of continental drift
provided a way in which fossil species could move from one continent to another
were used to justify why Wegener was wrong
New crust forms
where plates collide
where subduction occurs
at divergent plate boundaries
on fault lines
If a region of the Earth's crust is moving at 3cm/year, how far it will it have moved by the year 5919?
12 km
1200 km
12,000 km
120,000 km
Whales, koalas and eucalyptus trees are all
species caused by Australia's drift northwards
the result of changes accompanying Australia's drift northwards
related to warm currents flowing down Australia's east coast
uniquely Australian
The construction of dams is known to cause earthquakes because
soil removed to make space for the dam lightens the crust on one side of a fault
heavy machinery can upset fault lines
the extra water seeps down into faults, destabilising them
added water makes the ground on side of a fault more likely to slip
In the faults shown, the "hanging walls" are labelled
A and C
B and C
A and D
B and D
