The sudden shaking of the Earth's surface
What is an Earthquake?
This is where most earthquakes and volcanic eruptions occur.
What is on a plate boundary?
When to plates collide
What is Convergent Boundaries?
This is the fossil that we have been studying
What is a Mesosaurus?
These are the two continents that Wegener theorized fit together like a puzzle.
What is are South America and Africa?
Bonus points (100) if you remember how Drake pronounced South America in the clip I showed
Evidence of life forms from the past, such as bones, footprints, or leaf prints.
This is the layer of Earth right beneath the surface. It melts the crust at Convergent Boundaries, and replaces rock at Divergent Boundaries.
What is the Mantle?
This is the place that has three separate plate boundaries around it.
What is Jalisco?
Wegener's hypothesis was rejected because he could not prove this
What is How the Plate Move?
This is the main difference between lava and magma
What is... Magma is beneath the surface, whereas lava is above the surface.
Two continental plates colliding will create this
What are Mountains?
This forms in the ocean at divergent boundaries

This is found underneath the Earth's surface, both on land and underwater.
What is hard, solid rock?
This forms in the ocean at Convergent Boundaries
What is a trench?

What are the two main pieces of evidence that Wegener used to help prove his theory?
What are fossils on different continents and continents fitting together like a puzzle?
A diagram that shows what the inside of something looks like
What is a Cross Section Diagram?
Plates move on average this amount of cm per year
What is 3-10 cm?
The South American and African Plate boundary is this.
What is a Divergent Plate Boundary.
