Which of the following best describes Wegener's continental drift ideas?
Hypothesis: There was data to support the idea but more information was needed to build it into a scientific theory.
Theory: It was an early idea of Wegener's but it didn't yet have any evidence to support it.
Theory: It was a well supported idea that explained many things. No additional information was needed (it just needed time for people to accept it).
Hypothesis: It was an educated guess that Wegener made based on maps, but he hadn't yet collected experimental data.
Massive pieces of land that are part of the Earth's crust and upper mantle
Tectonic plates
Trenches
Divergent boundary
Continental shelves
The OLDEST seafloor is located?
Closest to the mid-ocean ridge
Farthest from the mid-ocean ridge
What happens when Subduction occurs?
Parts of the crust fall into the mantle
Parts of the crust fall into the core
Parts of the crust fall into space
None of these
Which of the following scientists developed the hypothesis of sea floor spreading?
Wegener

Without Earth's magnetic field
Compasses would not work.
Solar winds would strip away ozone from the atmosphere.
Life would be exposed to UV radiation
All of these choices are correct
Where does Earth’s magnetic field get its energy from?
The motion of the Earth's plates colliding with each other.
The motion of the Earth's liquid core, which generates electric currents.
The motion of the Earth's mantle which has convection currents.
The motion of the Earth's rotation around the sun.
