Get my drift?
Out of Boundaries!
It's not my fault!
That's So Random.
100
This the name of the man who created the theory of continental drift.
Who is "Alfred Wegener"?
100
The Himalayas are an example of this specific type of plate boundary.
What is "continent to continent convergent"?
100
This is one of the most famous faults in California, and perhaps the US.
What is the "San Andreas fault"?
100
This occurs at all convergent plate boundaries and is the reason the mantle and crust "recycle" themselves.
What is "subduction"?
200
This is the name for the large continent that eventually spread apart, providing evidence for continental drift.
What is "Pangaea"?
200
This type of plate boundary is commonly found in the middle of oceans, for example, the Atlantic.
What is "divergent"?
200
This type of fault can easily make a river change course over long periods of time.
What is a "strike-slip fault"?
200
Out of continental and oceanic plates, this one is more dense.
What is "oceanic"?
300
After this event, the evidence for continental drift was strong enough for scientists to propose the theory of plate tectonics.
What is "World War II"?
300
The Cascade mountains and volcanoes on the northwest coast of North America are an example of this specific type of plate boundary.
What is "ocean to continent convergent"?
300
This type of fault creates a hanging wall.
What is a "reverse fault"?
300
This is Wegener's first name.
What is "Alfred"?
400
This flip-flops at mid-ocean ridges as they spread, you can see it yourself with a compass.
What is "magnetism" or "polarity"?
400
The Aleutian Islands in Alaska are an example of this specific type of plate boundary.
What is "ocean to ocean convergent"?
400
This force (not fault) causes reverse faults.
What is "compression"?
400
When earthquakes occur, it is usually because of a build up of this.
What is "pressure"?
500
These ancient relics of plants and animals provided evidence for both continental drift and evolution.
What are "fossils"?
500
You encounter a fault with a hanging wall, this is the type of plate boundary you're on.
What is "transform"?
500
This type of force will cause "normal" faults.
What is "tension"?
500
Volcanoes and these are formed at ocean to ocean convergent plate boundaries.
What are "island arcs"?
