What does the word Pangea mean?
supercontinent
old land
big land mass
all of the above
About 120 million years ago, the Pangaea had split into two major continents named ___________.
Eurasia and India
Australia and Antartica
South America and Africa
Laurasia and Gondwanaland
What was Wegener’s continental drift idea?
The continents have moved slowly apart to their current locations.
The continents have always been located at their current locations.
The continents are moving slowly together from their current locations.
None of these
True or False-Similar fossil records across continents was evidence for continental drift.
True
False
What is the force that moves the continents?
Conduction
Convection
Radiation
Conveyor belts
What evidence did Wegener use to support his theory?
Continents and fossils fitting together/matching-up like puzzle pieces
glacier scars and other climate evidence from temperature
mountain ranges and rocks line up across continents
all of the above
Tectonic plates consist of____.
Continental crust
Oceanic Crust
Both continental and oceanic
Asthenosphere
The fact that similar fossils are found on both sides of the ocean is evidence of____.
magnetic reversal
continental drift
seafloor spreading
oceanic drift
True or False: The continental plates move so quickly that we can feel them.
True
False
Most geologists think that the movement of Earth's tectonic plates is caused by
the rotation of the Earth.
the Earth's magnetic field.
subduction.
convection currents.
Which layer of Earth flows slowly and causes the crust to move?
Crust
Mantle
Inner Core
Outer core
What geologic feature was evidence to support the theory that the continents used to be joined?
Same rocks were found on different continents
Glacial grooves were found on different continents
Fossilized evidence of the same organism found on different continents
Africa and South America look like puzzle pieces that fit together
What was Pangaea?
It was a supercontinent, made of all of the landmasses on Earth.
It was 2 separate landmasses, one on the Northern Hemisphere and one on the Southern Hemisphere.
It was a supercontinent made of 3 landmasses
It was the name of an ancient organism
What was Alfred Wegenerś Continental Drift theory?
The continents used to be joined together to form a supercontinent.
The continents have since drifted apart to their current location
Pangaea was formed around 250 million years ago
All of the above
Wegener found fossils of land reptiles on two different continents. This was important because
Land reptiles are often found all over the world, showing that they can survive in most climates
Land reptiles cannot swim, so the continents must have been connected for them to get across
Land reptiles are never moved around the Earth by humans, so they must have travels to these continents by themselves
Land reptiles fossilized much better than other animal species
These people are map makers
Cartographers
Paleontologists
Geologists
Biologists
What was the name of Alfred Wegeners Theory?
Seafloor Spreading Theory
Pangaea Theory
Plate Tectonics Theory
Continental Drift Theory
How was Wegener's theory received by other scientists at the time?
They thought it was great
They did not accept it
Convection currents are formed by the cyclic motion of magma in the asthenosphere.
True
False
What is the Theory of Continental Drift?
New continents are continually being created
and destroyed.
The layout of the continents is the same today
as it has always been
The continents have always been separate but
may one day drift together to form a single
continent
All the continents were once one continent that
broke up and drifted apart over hundreds of
millions of years
What does Pangaea mean?
It means an all black panda bear
It means all the universe
It means all earth or entire earth
It means all rock
What force moves the continents?
Conduction Currents
Convection Currents
Conveyor Currents
Continental Currents
How do fossils of the Cynognathus, found in Africa and South America support Wegener's theory.
The animals evolved and flew over the ocean
Africa and South America were once joined
The animals crossed on land and ice bridges
The animals swam across the ocean
Why couldn't the Mesosaurus swim to the other continents?
It didn't have a map
It was too far to swim
The ocean was covered in ice
It didn't know the way
Evidence left behind from dead plants and animals are called ___________________.
Continental Fit
Landmasses
Glaciers
Fossils
The coastlines of some continents seem to fit together like_________________
Peanut Butter and Jelly
Pieces of Pie
Pieces of a Puzzle
Pieces of Continental Drift
Fossils of the same species were found on __________________ continents. This piece of evidence helped prove the theory of Continental Drift.
only the same
different
super
drift
If all the inner layers of the Earth are firm and solid, what could have happened to Pangaea?
It remained as a supercontinent.
It would have become as it is today.
It would have slowly disappeared in the ocean.
It would have stretched and covered the whole world.
What discovery provided strong support for Continental Drift Theory?
Geology
Fossil evidence
Electromagnetism
Paleomagnetism
Which is not an evidence of seafloor spreading?
molten magma constantly moving
magnetic sripes
drilling samples of rocks
fossil evidence
What do you call the process that forms and moves the new oceanic crust?
convection
trenching
seafloor spreading
magnetic reversal
It is possibly the most important fossil plant evidence that continents are drifting.
Glossopteris
Mesosaurus
Cynognathus
Lystrosaurus
What is Pangaea?
a deep ocean trench
It means “all seas”
It means “all lands”
a microorganism
The upper part of the Pangaea was called (a) .
What is TRUE about plate tectonics?
They are constantly moving.
Earthquake causes plate to move.
They move once a year only.
They don’t move at all.
Fossils of Mesosaurus remain in South Africa and South America
TRUE

Is the sun a planet and is it what cause the continents two move
yes
no
don't know
true or false
