what did Alfred Wegener do?
Create the earth
Found out how the plates moved
Proposed the theory of continental drift
Drill a hole into the mantle
why didn't anyone believe Alfred Wegener?
He didn't have any proof that there was a Continental drift
Racism
The church silenced him
He didn't have an explanation on HOW the plates were moving.
what is a subduction zone?
Convergent boundaries hit, but one plate is denser than the other so it slides beneath the least dense plate
where volcanoes happen
Convergent boundaries hit, but one plate is denser than the other so the lighter plate slides under the denser plate

what land form comes out of a convergent boundary (C-C)?
earthquakes, trenches, volcanoes and island arcs.
earthquakes, coastal mountains, trenches

Older rocks
Large formations of mountains
Small cracks on the crust
What is the percentage of volcanic and earthquake activity that the ring of fire gets?
10%
47%
39%
90%
Do hotspots move?
No
Yes
how did yellowstone and hawaii form?
Plates moved under hotspots, and created active volcanoes.
Hotspots moved around under the surface
Convergent boundaries made mountains.
Transform boundaries created trenches and mountains
where does the convection currents occur?
asthoshpere
lithosphere
mantle
inner core
what is a divergent boundary?
Plates move away from eachother
plates crash into eachother
plates slide past eachother
plates don't interact at all
what is a convergent boundary?
Plates move away from eachother
plates crash into eachother
plates slide past eachother
plates don't interact at all
what is a transform boundary?
Plates move away from eachother
plates crash into eachother
plates slide past eachother
plates don't interact at all
true or false: crust is destroyed at a divergent boundary
true
false
true or false: crust is destroyed at a subduction boundary
true
false
where is magnetic reversal recorded?
Sea floor rock
Outer core
Inner core
Crust
what does the magnetic field protect us from?
Volcanoes
Radiation
Earthquakes
Comets
Is the outer core responsible for magnetic pole reversal?
Yes
No
what is the Continental drift theory?
The continents drifted from a landmass called Pangaea
The continents will stop transforming in 1,000 years or so
The continents have always been the way we see them today
The continental drift was caused by that squirrel. rude.
what is the evidence of Continental drift?
Fossils, glacier remains, plant matter
Continental shapes fit together, fossils, humans are on every continent.
Humans are on every continent, matching rocks.
