In which layer of the Earth can we find the flowy magma?
Crust
Mantle
Inner Core
Outer Core
This "theory" proposed that the Earth's tectonic plates were once joined together as one big landmass called Pangaea, and eventually separated into their present positions.
Seafloor Spreading Theory
Plate Tectonics Theory
Continental Drift Theory
Pangaea Theory
Where in the mantle are Convection Currents found?
Inner Mantle
Oceanic Crust
Biosphere
Asthenosphere
As we move down into the Earth, what happens to the temperature?
Increases
Decreases
Stays the same
Becomes 0 Degrees Celcius
From which structure is new ocean floor created?
Oceanic Crust
Oceanic Trench
Mid-oceanic Ridge
Subduction Zones
Old oceanic crust moves sideways from mid-oceanic ridges in a process called Seafloor Spreading. This sideways movement eventually stops because the old oceanic crust gets destroyed. In which structure does old oceanic crust gets destroyed?
Oceanic Trench
Mid-Oceanic Ridges
Transform Boundaries
Volcanoes
In which type of tectonic plate boundary do we find plates sliding past each other?
Transform Boundary
Convergent Boundary
Divergent Boundary
Mid-oceanic Boundary
In which type of tectonic plate boundary do we find plates colliding with each other?
Transform Boundary
Divergent Boundary
Convergent Boundary
Mid-Oceanic Boundary
In which type of tectonic plate boundary do we find magma rising to the surface?
Convergent Boundary
Divergent Boundary
Both Convergent and Divergent Boundaries
In which type of tectonic plate boundary do we find rocks/ crust on either side of the boundary having the SAME age?
Convergent Boundary
Divergent Boundary
Both Convergent and Divergent Boundaries
Which type of tectonic plate boundary is associated with mountains?
Convergent Boundary
Divergent Boundary
Both Convergent and Divergent Boundaries
Which type of tectonic plate boundary is associated with volcanoes?
Convergent Boundary
Divergent Boundary
Both Convergent and Divergent Boundaries
Which type of tectonic plate boundary is associated with the strongest earthquakes and tsunamis?
Convergent Boundary
Divergent Boundary
Both Convergent and Divergent Boundaries
