A group of geologists found that the chemical composition and age of two rock samples from two different mountains located in South America and Africa came from the same source of magma. This important discovery provides evidence of:
Global Warming
Erosion
Weathering
Plate Tectonics
Folded mountains are created by:
Convergent Boundaries
Subduction Boundary
Divergent Boundaries
Transform Boundary

The right side of the hill
Match the topographic map to its profile.
The Himalayan mountains are shown on the map below. Which of the following options desctibes the geologic process that formed the Himalayan mountains?
Convergent Boundaries
Divergent Boundaries

Which of the following statements could you use as confirmation of Alfred Wegener's theory of Continental Drift?
He had no idea what he was talking about.
Earth has several concentric layers.
Tectonic plates float above magma and move due to convection currents.
There are two cores on earth - the inner core and the outer core.
