Boundary Battles
What occurs at transform plate boundaries?
What is plates slide past each other?
What is the most accepted explanation for tectonic plate movement ? (What makes tectonic plates move)
What is convection currents?
Which observation supports the theory of continental drift?
I. The continents fit together
II. Similar fossils are found on separate continents
III. Different types of geographical landforms are found all over the world
What is I and II?
Continents fit together, and similar fossils are found on separate continents.
What are the layers of the Earth from the surface to the center?
What is Crust, Mantle, Outer Core, Inner Core?
Where are active volcanoes most likely found?
What is where two tectonic plates meet?
Which type of plate boundary involves plates moving apart?
What is divergent boundary?
What drives the movement of Earth’s tectonic plates? (Process and element)
What is the convection of magma?
What is the theory of continental drift?
(think about Pangea)
What is all continents were once part of a single landmass that drifted apart<
What are tectonic plates made of (types of crusts)?
What is oceanic and continental crust?
What causes mountains to form?
What is two continental plates colliding at a convergent boundary?
What type of faulting would most likely occur along a transform boundary?
What is strike-slip faulting?
What happens when to land tectonic plates collide (and lift)?
What is mountain forms?
Who proposed the theory of Pangaea?
Who is Alfred Wegener?
What would cause the distance between Europe and North America to increase each year?
What is tectonic plate movement?
What event is likely to occur when one tectonic plate is forced under another and melts (subduction)?
What is a volcanic eruption?
Mid-ocean ridges, rift valleys, and trenches mark what geological feature?
What is the boundaries between tectonic plates?
How does tectonic plate movement cause volcanoes to form?
What is one plate moves under another, the crust melts, causing magma to rise (subduction)?
What piece of evidence does NOT support continental drift?
A. Fossils of the same organisms are found on different continents.
B. Similar glacial sediments are found in different parts of the world.
C. The shapes of the continents fit together like pieces of a jigsaw puzzle.
D. Climates at different latitudes are similar to one another.
What is D. Climates at different latitudes are similar to one another?
What theory explains that the Earth’s crust is broken into moving plates?
What is plate tectonics?
Continental-continental plate collisions produce what geological feature?
What is (tall) mountain ranges?
