Where crust is generated as the plates pull away from each other.
What is Divergent Boundary
100
What kind out mountains are formed with plate tectonics?
What are Fold, Volcanic, and Block Mountains
100
The supercontinent before plate tectonics broke it apart.
What is Pangea
100
Provides fertile soil with ashes and burns off dead plants
What are Volcanic Eruptions
100
Vibration of the ground from plates causes this which can destroy people's homes
What is an earthquake
200
Where crust is neither destroyed or produced as the plates slide horizontally past each other.
What is Transform Boundary
200
Plates collide and ride over another, buckle and fold, forming mountains.
What are Fold mountain
200
Developed a theory in 1912 but didn't have a lot of supporting evidence.
Who is Alfred Wegener
200
Plate tectonics move which can uncover this and many other minerals
What are ore deposits
200
This can cause homes to be destroyed and burned
What are volcanic eruptions
300
Where crust is destroyed as one plate dives under another.
What is Convergent Boundary
300
Formed by movements of tectonic plates that form mountains from volcanoes erupting.
What are Volcanic Mountains
300
The outer layer of the Earth (lithosphere) is divided into a couple dozen plates that move across Earth's surface
What is Synopsis of Plate Tectonic Theory
300
Movement of plate tectonics can sometimes move these around to be more accessible so we can use them for fuel
What are fossil fuels
300
This event can cause severe damage to an area which can leave people without a home and jobs lost

400
Three types of convergent plate boundaries
What is Oceanic-Oceanic, Continental-Continental, Oceanic-Continental
400
When a fault block is raised or tilted, mountains form.
What are Block Mountains
400
What are the names of the two men who supported Wegener's theory?
Who are Arthur Holmes and Harry Hess
400
Plate tectonic movement causes two plates to collide and form these which could be tourist attractions
What are mountains
400
These cause separation and can sometimes be difficult to manuver around
What are mountains
500
Two continental plates meet creating mountains
What is Continental-Continental Convergent Bounary
500
What convergent plate boundary creates mountains?
What is Continental-Continental Convergent Boundary
500
What is some supporting evidence to the theories of plate tectonics?
What is faulty determinations of longitude, the shape of continents, and fossil evidence.
500
Even though these may destroy cities, it can also provide a better economy because people will try to help rebuild the community
What are tsumanis
500
This can cause an area to be disturbed and disrupted because of the process of it's forming
What are forming volcanoes
