This Quizizz will help prepare you for the Claim, Evidence, and Reasoning Questions.
False
True
fold mountains
What is likely to form when two oceanic plates pull apart?
A deep valley, like a big long crack in the rock
Mountains with slanted layers and layers of sedimentary rock.
A long underwater mountain range made of young lava rock.
A flat place with a lot of cracks from so many earthquakes taking place.

at mountains
Fold mountains form from ...
What did Wegener name the large supercontinent where all the continents were joined together?
Wegenerland
Superland
Eurasian
Pangaea
Most geologists rejected Wegener's idea of Continental Drift because _________.
He didn't have enough evidence to support his idea.
He wanted to know what the Earth looked like millions of years ago, which was impossible.
He didn't have a good explanation of what would cause continents to move around.
They were afraid of the new idea.
Wegener used the fit of the continents as evidence to support his hypothesis of Continental Drift.
true
false
Wegener used fossils of the land dwelling organisms on different continents as evidence to support his hypothesis of Continental Drift.
true
false
Wegener used evidence of glaciers in places now too warm as evidence to support his hypothesis of Continental Drift.
true
false
Wegener used matching rock types and ages across different continents as evidence to support his hypothesis of Continental Drift.
true
false
The east coast of South America seems to fit into the west coast of Africa, this evidence for Continental Drift is called...
Fit/shape of continental coastlines
Fossil evidence
Geologic evidence
Paleoclimate evidence
Which things did Wegener study to support his ideas? Mark all that apply.
fossils across oceans
matching land features/rocks
matching forces
Paleoclimate data
Shape of continental coastlines
Another piece in the theory of Continental Drift is evidence of coal on Antarctica because...
it is found in tropical areas today so it used to be near the equator where plants that formed coal thrive
it is found in swampy areas today so the area used to be near the poles where the plants to formed coal thrive
it is found in cold areas today but formed from a plant in warm climes, so it used to be closer to the equator
coal is not an example of continental drift
