What is the main cause of tectonic plate movement?
Wind currents
Solar radiation
Ocean tides
Convection currents in the mantle
How do fossils help in understanding the movement of tectonic plates?
They show that continents have always been in the same position.
They suggest that all continents were once underwater.
They provide evidence of similar species on different continents.
They indicate that tectonic plates do not move.

Why was Wegener's theory initially rejected by scientists?
His fossil evidence was incorrect.
His climate evidence was wrong.
He couldn't explain why the plates moved.
His timing was incorrect.
What is the lithosphere?
The inner and outer core combined
The crust and upper mantle
The lower mantle only

True or False:
Oceanic and Continental are the two types of Earth's crust.
True
False
The Earth's atmosphere is a mixture of which three gases?
Soil, Rocks, and Metal
Hydrogen, Helium, and Methane
Nitrogen, Oxygen, and Carbon Dioxide
Bacteria, Fungi, and Plants
4. What plate motion is happening at point B?
A convergent boundary where two plates collide.
A divergent boundary where two plates pull apart.
A transform boundary where two plates slide past each other.
Not enough information is given to be able to identify the plate motion.
Place the composition of these gases in order from greatest to least in the Earth's atmosphere:
Nitrogen > Argon = Carbon Dioxide
Oxygen > Methane > Nitrogen
Oxygen > Carbon Dioxide > Nitrogen
Carbon Dioxide > Oxygen > Hydrogen
The uppermost layer of the Earth is called
Mantle
Asthenosphere
Crust
Geosphere
