Alfred Wegner thought the continents looked like puzzle pieces that were once connected, known as Pangaea. The continental drift theory is the continents split apart and drifted over the ocean’s crust, but there is debate on if it happened and how long it would have taken.
true
false, continental drift is when continents move up and down
false, the continents stayed together as one super continent while they drifted
false, there is no debate everyone agrees it happened and know exactly how long ago it happened
The crust and solid, paper portion of the mantle of the Earth where the plates sit and move around is called the ________
core
magma
lithosphere
This type of rock came from lava that has cooled and hardened.
metamorphic
igneous
sedimentary
compaction

sedimentary
igneous
metamorphic
compaction
Lava is magma that has escaped the Earth’s surface. It is hot and liquid. When it cools, it becomes igneous rock.
true
false, magma is cooled igneous rock
false, lava is a type of fossil found in sedimentary rock
false, lava is only below the Earth's surface
Deltas are a constructive force that builds up in ways including:
Create new land formations
protect the beaches from erosion, keep ocean tide steady, home for animals such a sea turtle eggs, protect land from large waves
habits for wetland animals like alligators, built up between rivers and the oceans and are mineral and nutrient rich areas, sediments built up, absorb runoff from rivers
Creates new volcanic islands, brings lava up to the surface to create new igneous rocks and recycle the crust
creates new landforms, shapes the landscape, help distribute minerals
