What is the theory of continental drift?
The layer closest to us right now.
What is the crust?
The number of general boundaries that exist.
What is 3?
Wegener was born in this decade.
What is the 1880s?
The layer that sits above the outer core.
What is the mantle?
Plates move away from each other in this type of plate boundary.
What is divergent boundary?
Wegener has this profession after he graduated from Freidrich Wilhelms University.
What is a meteorologist?
The depth (in miles) of the mantle.
What is approximately 1800 miles?
Plates have this action in a convergent boundary.
What is the plates are moving towards each other and collide?
The reaction to Wegener's theory was in this manner.
What is poorly or doubtful? (No one believed him)
Iron is the most abundant element in this layer.
What is the inner core?
This process occurs in a convergent boundary, where plates slide under another plate.
What is subduction?
Wegener died on his expedition in this country.
What is Greenland?
This is the most abundant element in the mantle.
What is Oxygen?
This happens in a transform boundary.
What is the plates slide beside each other horizontally?
